When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:
snow |
|
snow or ice |
|
ice |
|
rain |
Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
These clouds grow upward and can develop into cumulonimbus or thunderstorm clouds.
stratus clouds |
|
cirrus clouds |
|
nimbus clouds |
|
cumulus clouds |
Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.
