🔍 Key Concepts

• Middle-level clouds (alto-) vs high-level clouds (cirro-) • Difference between stratus (layered/sheet-like) and cumulus (puffy/heap-like) clouds • Which cloud types are most often linked with steady precipitation in temperate latitudes rather than just fair weather or very light rain

💭 Think About

• Look at the prefixes: which options are high clouds and which are mid-level clouds, and which level usually produces most precipitation in temperate regions? • Focus on the suffix: which type describes a uniform sheet covering much of the sky, and which describe more broken or patchy clouds? • Think about typical weather: before or during a widespread, steady rain or snow event in mid‑latitudes, what kind of cloud deck do you usually see?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices with cirro- are high, thin clouds that normally produce little or no precipitation reaching the surface • Identify which choices with -cumulus indicate puffy or patchy clouds rather than uniform sheets • Select the cloud type that is mid‑level, layered (stratus), and commonly associated with widespread, steady precipitation
