🔍 Key Concepts

• Cloud prefix meanings such as "alto-", "cirro-", "strato-", and "nimbo-" • Relationship between cloud names and weather, especially precipitation • Difference between cloud shape (layer vs heap) and cloud content (rain/ice)

💭 Think About

• Think about which part of the cloud classification system indicates rain or precipitation. • Ask yourself: which prefixes usually refer to height (middle or high altitude), and which refer to type or effect (like producing rain)? • Compare "stratus" (layered), "cumulus" (heap/vertical), and the prefix in question: which one is most closely tied to wet weather rather than shape or height?

✅ Before You Answer

• Before choosing, match each option to the usual meaning of its keyword: alto = middle level, stratus = layer, cumulus = heap/vertical. • Verify which term in meteorology is commonly associated with rain-bearing clouds. • Eliminate any option where the keyword already has a different, well-known meaning in standard cloud classification.
