Clouds can form if there is condensation of water vapor above the earth's surface. Increased air will expand adiabatically because the air pressure above is smaller than the pressure below. The collection of dots of water that results from water vapor in condensed air is what is seen as clouds. The more air that condenses, the bigger the clouds that form.

Further Explanation

Clouds are masses that can be seen from water droplets or frozen crystals depending on the atmosphere above the surface of the earth or the surface of other planets. Clouds are also visible masses attracted by gravity, such as the mass of matter in space called interstellar clouds and nebulae. Clouds are studied in cloud science or cloud physics, a branch of meteorology.

Types of Clouds

High Cloud (Family A). Clouds form between 10,000 and 25,000 feet (3,000 and 8,000 m) in the polar regions, 16,500 and 40,000 feet (5,000 and 12,000 m) in temperate regions and 20,000 and 60,000 feet (6,000 and 18,000 m) in the tropics. Central Cloud (Family B). Central clouds tend to form at 6,500 feet (2,000 m), but can form at altitudes up to 13,000 feet (4,000 m), 23,000 feet (7,000 m) or 25,000 feet (8,000 m), depending on the area. Low Cloud (Family C1). Low clouds are found from near the surface up to 6,500 feet (2,000 m) and belong to the genus Stratus. Low Middle Cloud (Family C2). This cloud can be based anywhere from a surface near about 10,000 feet (3,000 m). Vertical Clouds (Family D). Clouds with large mass and soaring from low to very high, prone to storms and lightning. They form in very stable air masses, especially along cold fast-moving fronts.

ecological efficiency: % of usable energy transferred as

biomass from one trophic level to the next typical is 10% efficient (90% of

energy is lost),is diagramed as the pyramid of energy flow. then osprey eagle
