Which of the following cloud types is commonly associated with contiuous precipitation?
Détails de la réponse
Nimbostratus clouds are commonly associated with continuous precipitation. Nimbostratus clouds are low-lying, gray or dark clouds that usually cover the entire sky. These clouds are formed when warm, moist air rises and cools as it meets a colder air mass. The cooling causes the water droplets in the air to condense and form a cloud. Nimbostratus clouds are often associated with steady, continuous precipitation, such as rain or snow, because they are thick enough to block out sunlight and their large size means they can contain a lot of moisture. In contrast, cumulus, stratus, and stratocumulus clouds are not usually associated with continuous precipitation. Cumulus clouds are fluffy and white and are often associated with fair weather, while stratus clouds are flat and featureless and are often associated with overcast or foggy conditions. Stratocumulus clouds are low, rounded clouds that often appear in rows and can be associated with light rain or drizzle, but not typically continuous precipitation.
