Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A cumulus cloud that exhibits significant vertical development (but is not yet a thunderstorm) is called cumulus congestus or towering cumulus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Clouds with vertical growth include cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds grow high up into the atmosphere rather than spreading across the sky. They span all levels of the troposphere and can even rise up into the stratosphere.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cumulus clouds are formed by small thermals (upward-moving air parcels heated by contact to the warm ground) where condensation occurs and they grow to extend vertically throughout the troposphere.
