🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of the prefix nimbo-/nimbus in cloud names • Relationship between cloud names and precipitation • Difference between cloud shape (cumulus, stratus) and cloud altitude (high, middle, low)

💭 Think About

• Focus on what the Latin-root word nimbus refers to in meteorology—does it describe shape, height, or weather produced? • Look at each option and ask: is this something that all clouds with nimbo in the name must have, or is it only true for some cloud types? • Think of common cloud names you've heard that include nimbus or nimbostratus and recall what kind of weather they usually bring.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on whether nimbo refers to height, form, or precipitation • Check if any option describes something that would apply to every cloud with nimbo in its name, not just certain ones • Verify which property (vertical development, altitude range, sheet-like form, or association with precipitation) is the defining feature of nimbo clouds
