1.	Consider the following statements:1. Cirrus clouds are formed at high altitudes.2. Cumulus clouds look like cotton wool.3. Stratus clouds are the layered clouds covering a large portion of the sky.4. Nimbus clouds are Back or dark in color.Identify the correct statements.1. 1, 2 and 32. 2, 3 and 43. Only 3 and 44. All the above
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : All the above The correct answer is All the above. Cirrus Cloud:- Cirrus clouds appear high in the atmosphere, above 20,000 feet (6 km). Cirrus clouds are made of tiny ice crystals. The atmosphere is very cold in the stratosphere where cirrus clouds occur. So, Statement 1 is correct. Cumulus clouds:- These clouds form when the air cools to the dew point, the temperature at which the air can no longer hold all its water vapour. These “fair weather” clouds look like cotton wool. If we look at a sky filled with cumulus, we may notice they have flat bases, which all lie at the same level. So, Statement 2 is correct. Stratus clouds:- These are composed of thin layers of clouds covering a large area of the sky. This is simply mist or fog when it forms close to the ground. We can easily distinguish a stratus cloud by the long horizontal layers of cloud which have a fog-like appearance So, Statement 3 is correct. Nimbus Clouds:- The word nimbus means a cloud that already has rain or snow falling from it. These clouds are dark and seen during a thunderstorm along with thunder and lightning. So, Statement 4 is correct.
