1. Not sure what you meant, but a line of evaporating air ahead of a storm? 2. Wall clouds descend below the central base of the thunderstorm and are cylindrical, while shelf clouds are low and ominous and descend on the leading edge of a thunderstorm. 3.

2. yes, but i was thinking shelf clouds cover the entire horizon whereas wall clouds are much smaller. the shape of a wall clouds is kind of juts out from the main thunderstorm.
3. yep
your turn!

Re: Meteorology B
1. Mudslides and landslides 2. Urban floods are more dangerous since the surfaces in an urban area aren't able to absorb water, while the typically rural areas around rivers can absorb the water. 3. Stop the car and stay inside the car until the storm passesIHateClouds wrote: ↑January 22nd, 2020, 7:35 am

Re: Meteorology B
1. altocumulus, lower than cirrocumulus and each segment is larger; cirrocumulus, higher that altocumulus and each little section is very tiny; stratocumulus, covers the entire sky. ig there's also cumulus too which has bigger sections that altocumulus but doesn't cover the whole sky and sections are a lot farther from each other.DerechosRYummy wrote: ↑January 22nd, 2020, 6:44 pm 1.

2. a lenticular cloud forms from topography (so like from a mountain) and looks like a flying saucer.
3. i have no idea but maybe cumulus?
