Question

Use the accompanying diagram, which shows changes in temperature and the dew-point temperature with altitudes, to complete the following.

1. At what altitude would clouds be found: 0–4 kilometers, 4–8 kilometers, or 8–12 kilometers?

2. What would this cloud consist of: liquid droplets only, ice crystals only, or both liquid droplets and ice crystals?

3. If this cloud produced precipitation, what type would likely reach Earth’s surface: rain, snow, sleet, or freezing rain?
