4 Factors That Forms A Cloud

Clouds are condensation forms that usually result from lifting processes. a cloud forms when an ascending column of moist air is cooled below its dew point And moisture condenses on minute particles called nuclei which are present in the atmosphere.A cloud can be described as a visible aggrigate of minute particles of water or ice on of both in free air.those associated with strong rising air currents have vertical development and puffy appearance. where is the resulting from gentle lifting are other methods of cooling tend to spread out into layers .

Condensation mechanism

 The process of condensation can be set in motion in the atmosphere due to 4 different mechanisms

Adiabatic cooling of air to saturation by upward lifting of air resulting from decrease in barometric pressure at the surface.

Heating of air near surface to such as an extent that it ascends adibetically due to convection, convergence of wind currents are orographic lifting, cool and become saturated.

Isobaric cooling of air to its due. When condensation of occurs at the same level itself.

Mixing of air at different temperatures and humidity contents. if the mixture has temperature below dew point condensation occurs.
