    These are the puffy clouds that are in the middle level. - ProProfs

    These are the puffy clouds that are in the middle level.

    • Cumulus

    • Stratus

    • Cirrus

    Correct Answer
    A. Cumulus
    Explanation
    Cumulus clouds are the correct answer because they are puffy clouds that form in the middle level of the atmosphere. They are characterized by their distinct rounded shape and white color. Cumulus clouds are often associated with fair weather, but can also develop into larger and more vertically developed clouds known as cumulonimbus, which can bring thunderstorms.

    Which measures precipitation?

    • Thermometer

    • Forecast

    • Rain Gauge

    Correct Answer
    A. Rain Gauge
    Explanation
    A rain gauge is a device used to measure the amount of precipitation, specifically rainfall. It consists of a cylindrical container with markings indicating the amount of rainfall in inches or millimeters. When it rains, the water collects in the container, allowing for accurate measurement of the rainfall. Therefore, a rain gauge is the correct answer as it is specifically designed to measure precipitation.

    • Cumulus

    • Cirrus

    Correct Answer
    A. Cirrus

    Correct Answer
    A. Snow
    Explanation
    Snow is a type of precipitation that occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals and falls to the ground. It is characterized by the formation of snowflakes and is commonly associated with cold weather conditions. Snowfall can vary in intensity and accumulation, and it plays a significant role in shaping the Earth's climate and water cycle.

    These clouds are the lowest in the sky and look like a gray blanket. - ProProfs

    These clouds are the lowest in the sky and look like a gray blanket.

    • Cumulus

    • Stratus

    • Cirrus

    Correct Answer
    A. Stratus
    Explanation
    Stratus clouds are the lowest clouds in the sky and appear as a gray, uniform layer that resembles a blanket. They typically cover large areas of the sky and are often associated with stable weather conditions. Unlike cumulus clouds, which are puffy and can indicate fair weather, or cirrus clouds, which are high and wispy, stratus clouds indicate a more overcast and potentially gloomy sky. Therefore, the correct answer is stratus.
