Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Orographic clouds form when moist air is forced up and over a mountain, causing it to cool and condense into clouds on the upwind side of the mountain. Rotor clouds and lee wave clouds both form as a result of turbulence, and cumulus clouds produced by surface heating form as a result of convection.
