Question

1. which clouds are known for producing severe weather like thunderstorms and tornadoes?

cirrus
stratus
cumulonimbus
cumulus

1. what is one way people can use clouds to predict weather?

by measuring the temperature of clouds
by observing the shape, height, and color of clouds
by counting the number of clouds in the sky
by measuring the distance between clouds

Explanation:

• For question 9: Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with severe weather like thunderstorms and tornadoes. Cirrus clouds are high - altitude and usually indicate fair weather. Stratus clouds often bring light rain or overcast conditions. Cumulus clouds can bring fair weather or light showers.
• For question 10: People can predict weather by observing cloud characteristics such as shape (e.g., cumulonimbus for storms), height (e.g., low - level stratus for certain weather), and color (e.g., dark clouds may indicate approaching bad weather). Measuring cloud temperature is not a common way for general weather prediction. Counting cloud numbers or measuring distances between clouds is not a practical way for weather prediction.

Answer:

1. Cumulonimbus
2. By observing the shape, height, and color of clouds
