Question 1 of 5

1. Question
Which of the below statements regarding clouds is most correct?
- Clouds most commonly form as a result of air rising, which forces it to expand and cool. The cloud will begin to form when dew point temperature is reached.
- Clouds most commonly form when rain is created in the atmosphere, which increases humidity and dew point. When the dew point is raised to the current temperature, clouds form.
- Clouds most commonly form as a result of the sun directly heating the atmosphere, which causes dew point temperature to rise. Cloud will then form when dew point temperature rises to the current atmospheric temperature at a given altitude.
- Clouds most commonly form as a result of advection, which forces air to rise. When the air rises to an altitude where its temperature matches the dew point temperature, clouds form.

- Localised, heavier showers that have shorter life spans
- Widespread drizzle that can persist for long period of time
- Both localised heavy showers and widespread drizzle depending on the vertical extend of the cloud
- Widespread drizzle from cumuliform cloud with little vertical extend and localised showers from cumuliform cloud with large vertical extend
