Detailed explanation-1: -Clouds are classified according to their height above and appearance (texture) from the ground. The following cloud roots and translations summarize the components of this classification system: 1) Cirro-: curl of hair, high; 2) Alto-: mid; 3) Strato-: layer; 4) Nimbo-: rain, precipitation; and 5) Cumulo-: heap.
Detailed explanation-2: -Just by knowing the three basic cloud types (cirrus, stratus, cumulus) and the four classifications (high, middle, low, and clouds of vertical development), along with their corresponding prefixes and suffixes, we can name lots of different types of clouds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Polar Regions – they form at altitudes of 3000 m (10, 000 ft) to 7600 m (25, 000 ft). Temperate Regions – they form at altitudes of 5000 m (16, 500 ft) to 12, 200 m (40, 000 ft). Tropical Regions – they form at altitudes of 6, 100 m (20, 000 ft) to 18, 300 m (60, 000 ft).
