What Type of Cloud Produces Heavy Rain, Lightning, Thunder, Hail and Strong Winds? Quick Answer. Cumulonimbus clouds produce rain, hail and other attributes of thunderstorms. These clouds begin as cumulus clouds that achieve vertical growth. Tornadoes are also a product of cumulonimbus clouds.

Clouds They usually are made of water droplets only. Cumulus: These clouds are sometimes put in the category of vertically developed clouds, as they can build in height. Cumulus clouds look like white cotton balls or cauliflower heads, and usually suggest fair, dry conditions. Fair-weather cumulus clouds are short-lived. When they produce showers, the precipitation is most often light and brief.

List of cloud types 1 Cumulonimbus (WMO genus) – heaped towering rain-bearing clouds that stretch to the upper levels of the troposphere. 2  Cumulonimbus calvus (WMO genus and species) – cumulonimbus with round tops like cumulus congestus.

Why does it rain? Rain - and other forms of precipitation - occur when warm moist air cools and condensation occurs. Since warm air can hold more water than cool air, when the warmer air is cooled the moisture condenses to liquid - and it rains.

What is a nimbus cloud? , I'm no cloud expert, but I know some things about clouds. What is called a nimbus cloud is a cloud that produces precipitation. In the warmer months (or in places where it's warm year round), precipitation that falls from these clouds is primarily rain. But, in the colder months (or in places where it's cold year round), precipitation is primarily snow, though other forms of icy precipitation may fall from nimbus clouds.

- A nimbus cloud is a cloud that produces precipitation. Usually the precipitation reaches the ground as rain, hail, snow, or sleet. Falling precipitation may evaporate as virga. Rain comes out of nimbus clouds and this is called precipitation. It is usually formed at less than 2000 feet.

Rain Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then precipitated —that is, become heavy enough to fall under gravity. Rain is a major component of the water cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth.ir resistance typically causes the water droplets in a cloud to remain stationary. When air turbulence occurs, water droplets collide, producing larger droplets. As these larger water droplets descend, coalescence continues, so that drops become heavy enough to overcome air resistance and fall as rain.

What Are Nimbus Clouds? Nimbus clouds are cloud types that can indicate some type of precipitation. The word nimbus comes from the Latin language and stands for rain. There are two different types of nimbus clouds that indicate the type of precipitation. Keep Learning.

- How do clouds and rain form over the US? Great question everyone! Here is your answer: Clouds  and rain form when water from the ocean evaporates leaving  salinity. Then the water reaches the clouds and it gets sto…red  there until eventually the cloud gets to heavy that all the water  comes down. The water lands on land via ocean and the Water Cycle  starts over again.

What Are Clouds? Rain Clouds. Nimbostratus (Ns): The dark, rain carrying cloud of bad weather. It is to blame for most of the winter rains and some of the summer ones. It covers the sky and blocks the sun. You have to fly in a plane through the cloud to realize how deep and solid this cloud can be.

A Critical Introduction to State-Corporate Crime This criminological sub-genre was labeled state-corporate crime. Over the next decade, scholars conducted a number of case studies on state-corporate crime. This has inspired important conceptual and theoretical innovations. First, a distinction has been drawn between state-facilitated corporate crime and state-initiated corporate crime.

What does rain water consists of? Â« Back to Questions List Rain brings happiness to everyone on earth. Clouds that move across the sky contain huge amounts of tiny water droplets and ice crystals. Not all clouds bring rain. Only under ideal conditions clouds condense into rain. Rain water is very good for plants as it contains lot of nutrients and is free of salts and other harmful elements. Though rain absorbs gases from atmosphere, it is pure till it reaches the ground. Rainwater is soft water and hence it doesn’t form scales on surfaces or utensils.

What type of weather? Nimbostratus clouds are associated with rain. They do not produce as much heavy rain as cumulonimbus do. Such clouds are not very high up in the sky and look like a grayish blanket. Source(s): 14 yrs. of studying meteorology. More info on clouds http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/synopt...

What Are Clouds? The water vapor cools and turns back into a liquid in the shape of tiny droplets. The result is clouds, unless it's on the ground - then we call it fog. When enough droplets get together they fall to the ground as rain or if it's very cold, they freeze and fall down as snow, sleet or hail.

Setting Up a Contractor Payment Schedule Posted by Administrator on 1 July 2010, 4:47 pm. If the contract calls for a down payment before work starts, the down payment cannot be more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less, for a home improvement job or swimming pool, excluding finance charges. There are no exceptions for special order materials. A fair payment schedule is one of the most important components of a home improvement project. On one hand, every dollar owed to a contractor is more leverage that the homeowner has to make sure a project is completed to their satisfaction.

- Transcript: Transcript - Why does it rain? Frontal rain. Frontal rain occurs when two air masses meet. When a warm air mass meets a cold air mass, they don't mix as they have different densities (a bit like oil and water). Instead, the warm less dense air is pushed up over the cold dense air creating the 'front'. As a result, much like when air is forced up over mountains, the warm less dense air cools, and the water vapour condenses into water and falls as raindrops. This type of rain can happen anywhere in the UK. Orographic rain

Rain Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then precipitated—that is, become heavy enough to fall under gravity. Rain is a major component of the water cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth. It provides suitable conditions for many types of ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation.

What Type of Clouds Bring Long and Steady Rain? Quick Answer. The National Weather Service explains that nimbostratus clouds, which are thick and possess dense stratus, are responsible for steady rain. They are found under 6,500 feet. Nimbostratus clouds are usually dark grey in color due to their high-moisture content.

Types of Clouds The appearance of cirrus clouds usually indicates that a change in weather will occur within 24 hours. Cirrostratus are sheetlike, thin clouds that usually cover the entire sky. The sun or moon can shine through Cirrostratus clouds. Cirrostratus clouds usually come 12-24 hours before a rain or snow storm.

What Type of Clouds Are Rain Clouds? Nimbus Clouds. Rain clouds are called nimbus clouds. Nimbus is an ancient Latin word meaning rain storm. Nimbus clouds carry an immense amount of moisture, giving them a gray color. The gray color can sometimes be very dark. Besides rain, nimbus clouds are responsible for other precipitation such as hail and snow.

Stratus clouds â A blanket of cloud â Weather science Stratus clouds (thanks to NASA). If you see stratus clouds, that's the time to get inside and stay there. Stratus clouds mean rain if it is warm and snow if it is cold. They look like a huge gray blanket that hangs low in the sky. Sometimes stratus clouds are on the ground or very near the ground, and then we call them fog. Usually stratus clouds and fog form when it has been cold out and then warmer, wet air blows in. As the warm air flows over the cold ground or over the cold air near the ground, the water vapor in the warm air condenses into drops of water that make a cloud.
