my survey



Bellow 6,000 ft.
6,000-20,000 ft.
above 18,000 ft.
above 50,000 ft.

This shows the relative size of the clouds. This also showes were they can be found in the atmosphere. This gives a good perspective of what shape these clouds are.

These are the many different types of clouds and the altitude they can be found in. This would be very helpful if your studied clouds.

This is the water cycle. This shows the different possible types of outcomes. This would be perfect if you wanted to know were are water came from.

Why are clouds important?

The clouds are important for many things,reason are they can provide shade from the sun; another reason is they hold or store a lot of earths water and without these earth would be covered in water. Some other reasons are because they can absorb some of the sun's heat, and they help cool off the planet when it rains.

how are clouds formed?

Clouds are formed when water vapor cools and condenses. The clouds are made up of tiny water droplets. Depending on how big and how far apart the droplets are is how big and far apart the clouds are. The water droplets can also be little ice crystals. These are higher up in the atmosphere.

how does the water cycle work?

When the heat energy from the sun gets put into the water, the water evaporates. The evaporated molicules rise to the atmosphere. When these molicules start to loose the energy they condinses and forms clouds. When the condinsed molicules become to heavy they fall.(presipitation) Then the molicules begin to collect in a lake, pond, or ocean. Unless it seeps into aquafers or underground water tables. Untill the water gets heated again and the cycle starts over.
