Part1 First of all I will talk about meteorologists Since there are countless combinations of these conditions, each of which can create different kinds of clouds, meteorologists had to create an extensive classification system for them There are only ten major categories of clouds, based mostly on altitude.
Part2 Turning to take lenticular clouds lenticular clouds, which look like pancakes stacked into a lens shape -- or maybe like flying saucer, if you squint. These clouds usually form when air hits a vertical barrier, like a mountain peak. The barrier creates circular waves of air around it, generating an effect that’s kind of like throwing a pebble in a pond.
Part3 Finally let me talk about the shapes of clouds But lenticular clouds don’t have the monopoly on shapes that look like delicious food. Morning glory clouds, which look like long strings of rolling dough, can be 1000 kilometers long and up to two kilometers high, hovering just a few hundred meters above the ground.
