\nMatching the cloud types with their characteristics:
\nA. Cirrus: High-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals, appearing thin, wispy, and feathery. Matches characteristic 2 (Feathery appearance).
\nB. Stratus: Low-altitude, layered clouds that spread horizontally, often covering the entire sky. Matches characteristic 4 (Horizontally spreading).
\nC. Nimbus: This term denotes a precipitating cloud. Nimbostratus and Cumulonimbus are major rain-giving clouds. Matches characteristic 1 (Rain-giving).
\nD. Cumulus: Puffy, lumpy clouds that often have flat bases and can grow vertically, sometimes developing into cumulonimbus clouds. Matches characteristic 3 (Vertically growing).
\nThus, the correct matching is A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3. This corresponds to option C.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Cloud classification is based on altitude and appearance.
\n– Cirrus are high and feathery; Stratus are low and layered; Cumulus are puffy and potentially vertical; Nimbus indicates precipitation.
\n<\/section>\n
\nClouds are classified into ten main types (genera) based on their appearance and height. These genera are further divided into species and varieties. Understanding the basic characteristics of major cloud types helps in interpreting weather patterns.
