Why would air moving against a mountain cause the formation of clouds? Snow on the ground

generates enough moisture to form clouds.

The trees mix with the air to form clouds.

Spring in the mountain generate moisture to form clouds.

The air is chilled when it is forced to rise as the air encounters the mountain. This chilling decreases the capacity of air to hold water vapor, and eventually the relative humidity reaches 100% — leading to condensation and cloud formation. QUESTION 2

What are the clouds you see closest to the ground? 

All of the other answers are correct, and thus this is the best answer.

Stratus

Nimbostratus

Cumulus QUESTION 3

How does temperature affect the ability of air to hold water vapor?

Temperature does not affect the ability of air to hold water vapor

Warmer air can hold more water vapor.

All of the other answers are correct, and thus this is the best answer.

Colder air can hold more water vapor QUESTION 4

What is the relative humidity when the air is saturated?

80%

Between 50 and 99%

100%

75% QUESTION 5

What is absolute humidity?

It is the amount of humidity in the air, typically measured in a percent of the total amount that could be held by the atmosphere.

It is the measured amount of water vapor in a volume of air, typically measured in grams per cubic meter.

It is the amount of liquid water in air, typically measured in grams per cubic meter.

It is the amount of solid water in air, typically measured in grams per cubic meter.
