Educational worksheet on cloud types and their weather associations.

Let’s go step by step to fill in the table correctly.

We are given a chart with 4 cloud types: Cirrus, Cumulus, Stratus, and Cumulonimbus. For each, we need to write:
- Name (already given)
- Description (what it looks like)
- Associated Weather Type (what kind of weather it brings)

Also, there are 4 pictures at the bottom that match these clouds — we’ll use them to help describe each one.

Step 1: Cirrus Clouds

From the top table:
- Description: “Feathery, wispy, high altitude”
- Associated Weather: “Fair weather; may indicate change”

Picture #1 shows thin, feathery clouds high up → matches Cirrus.

So for Picture #1 row:
→ Cloud Type: Cirrus
→ Name: Cirrus
→ Description: Feathery, wispy, high altitude
→ Associated Weather: Fair weather; may indicate change

---

Step 2: Cumulus Clouds

Top table says:
- Description: “Puffy, white, flat base”
- Associated Weather: “Fair weather or storms”

Picture #3 shows puffy, cotton-like clouds with flat bottoms → matches Cumulus.

So for Picture #3 row:
→ Cloud Type: Cumulus
→ Name: Cumulus
→ Description: Puffy, white, flat base
→ Associated Weather: Fair weather or storms

Wait — let’s check the picture order again. The images are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 from left to right.

Actually, looking carefully:

Image 1: Thin, wispy → Cirrus
Image 2: Layered, gray, covering sky → Stratus
Image 3: Big, puffy, tall → Cumulonimbus? Wait no — let’s think.

Hold on — standard cloud identification:

- Cirrus: High, thin, wispy → Image 1 ✔
- Stratus: Low, gray, layered, covers whole sky → Image 2 ✔
- Cumulus: Puffy, white, cauliflower-shaped, fair weather → Image 3? But Image 3 looks more like a storm cloud...
Wait — actually, Image 3 is big and towering — that’s likely Cumulonimbus.

Let me reassign based on typical textbook images:

Standard matching:

- Image 1: Cirrus → wispy, high
- Image 2: Stratus → low, gray blanket
- Image 3: Cumulonimbus → huge, anvil top, thunderstorm
- Image 4: Cumulus → puffy, smaller, fair weather

But wait — in the top table, “Cumulus” is listed as “puffy, white, flat base” → that’s usually fair weather cumulus.

And “Cumulonimbus” is “towering, dark, anvil top” → severe weather.

Looking at the images:

Image 1: Wispy → Cirrus
Image 2: Gray layer → Stratus
Image 3: Huge, dark, anvil top → Cumulonimbus
Image 4: Small puffy clouds → Cumulus

Yes! That makes sense.

So correction:

Picture #1 → Cirrus
Picture #2 → Stratus
Picture #3 → Cumulonimbus
Picture #4 → Cumulus

Now let’s fill each row using the top table info.

---

Row for Picture #1 (Cirrus)
Cloud Type: Cirrus
Name: Cirrus
Description: Feathery, wispy, high altitude
Associated Weather: Fair weather; may indicate change

---

Row for Picture #2 (Stratus)
From top table:
Description: “Layered, gray, low altitude”
Weather: “Overcast skies, light rain or drizzle”

Cloud Type: Stratus
Name: Stratus
Description: Layered, gray, low altitude
Associated Weather: Overcast skies, light rain or drizzle

---

Row for Picture #3 (Cumulonimbus)
Top table:
Description: “Towering, dark, anvil top”
Weather: “Thunderstorms, heavy rain, lightning, hail”

Cloud Type: Cumulonimbus
Name: Cumulonimbus
Description: Towering, dark, anvil top
Associated Weather: Thunderstorms, heavy rain, lightning, hail

---

Row for Picture #4 (Cumulus)
Top table:
Description: “Puffy, white, flat base”
Weather: “Fair weather or storms” — but note: small cumulus = fair weather; large can grow into storms. Since this image shows small puffy ones, we’ll say “fair weather”.

Actually, the top table says “Fair weather or storms” for Cumulus — so we keep that.

Cloud Type: Cumulus
Name: Cumulus
Description: Puffy, white, flat base
Associated Weather: Fair weather or storms

---

Final Check:

All four rows filled correctly based on standard cloud types and their descriptions/weather.
