Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nimbostratus clouds are formed from stable warm air rising over cold air and can produce steady precipitation such as rain or snow. Altocumulus clouds are mid-level clouds that do not typically produce precipitation. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with thunderstorms and unstable air masses. Cirrus clouds are high-level clouds that do not typically produce precipitation.
