The Mass That Evaporates From The Surface Of The Earth Toward The Atmosphere Is A Cloud

Clouds are a collection of water vapor that rises from the surface of the earth to the surface of the atmosphere, and turns into water through the process of condensation. Steam can be either water or a solution, because of the cooling process that occurs in the atmosphere. Along with the occurrence of condensation, water vapor releases heat energy into the surrounding area, so the air feels hot before it becomes a rainy process.

Condensation takes place through several stages, as has reached the temperature at which condensation takes place in the absence of additional water vapor. Secondly, if there is addition of water vapor but without the addition of heat, and one-third of air vapor capacity is reduced due to an increase in pressure or a decrease in temperature.

The cloud process is not formed instantly, but there is a process or stage that accompanies it, following the stages of cloud formation process.

• Increase in Water Vapor Mass Prior to the occurrence of clouds there must be conditions, and conditions such as increased mass of evaporated air from the earth's surface to the atmosphere and after that cooling at a certain height.

• The emergence of clouds becomes one of the important indicators that indicate that there has been a change of water vapor to the water boundary.

• To be able to stop the necessary cooling process, the presence of core condensation and the volume of water points in clouds that are at saturation point.

• The process of collecting water vapor from the earth rises to a certain height and then undergoes the process of converting the vapor form into a water point, low temperatures in high areas support the occurrence of condensation, the indicator That can overcome the process of condensation by cloud formation.

• If there is already a cloud then the water vapor has really turned into a water point. Establish a water point, In certain areas where the air temperature is very low, the water point may turn into light ice grains, so it can still drift along the direction of the wind that carries it.

• So the rain-determining factor is the process of condensation and the supply of water vapor, if the volume of water vapor rises very large and the condensation process is fast, then rain can happen immediately.

Actually, the formation system is the same but the only difference is the height at which the condensation takes place. Fog or cloud is a process of condensation that occurs close to the surface of the earth and generally occurs at night, where water vapor spread somewhere can be instantly turned into a water point. But because the process occurs at night or in the morning, the water vapor can not rise even higher so it is only around the surface of the earth and soon evaporate in the morning.

Clouds can be distinguished by shape, altitude from the surface of the earth and shades or colors.

A). The high cloud group is above 8,000 meters. There are several types of clouds in this group, one of which is Cirrus, Cirrocumulus, Cirrostratus. Often shaped like feathers and cotton so it is very recognizable.

Source Images And Reference:

• Cirrus Cloud (Ci) is the highest cloud that is at an altitude above 9,000 meters above sea level, very smooth as silk thread and contains ice crystals that are often seen in fine weather.

• Cloud Cirrocumulus (Cc) is a cloud located at an altitude between 7,500 to 9,000 meters, a common form of this species such as a white sheep clump and can be arranged into a round shape.

• Cloud Cirrostratus (Cs) is a type of cloud that lies at an altitude between 6,000 to 7,500 meters above sea level, thin and white like milk. These clouds also often produce circles that some believe to be hurricanes or storms.

B). An intermediate cloud group consists of two clouds, Altocumulus and Altostratus. The types of clouds are often located at altitudes between 3,000 and 6,000 meters above sea level.

Source Images And Reference:

• The Altocumulus Cloud (Ac) is a cloud located at an altitude of 4,000 meters to 6,000 meters. This type of cloud is often shaped like a lump, but thicker when compared to Cirrocumulus clouds. Gray and bluish.

• The Altostratus Cloud (As) is a cluster of clouds as high as 3,000 to 4,000 meters, this type of cloud is like a sheet of horizontal density which is a horizontal globular, and the Altostratus clouds often form shadows.

C). Low cloud groups are often located at altitudes below 3,000 meters. This type of cloud forms near the surface of the earth and consists of the Stratocumulus, Nimbostratus and Stratus clouds.

Source Images And Reference:

• Startocumulus (Sc) is a kind of stacked and coated cloud that often looks like a lump.

• Nimbostartus (Ns) is a cloud that lies at an altitude between 1,000 to 1,500 meters above sea level. The faucet is globular and extends towards the horizontal.

• Stratus (St) is a cloud whose colors tend to be the same and thick with the lowest position below 1,000 meters.

D). The cumulus and cumulus nimbus cloud group are clouds formed by the cooling process of adult water. Often referred to as rain clouds that can rise strongly to the boundary layer of the Troposphere.

Source Images And Reference:

• Cumulus (Cu) is a cloud located at an altitude of 450 to 900 meters and is formed from a period of vertical moisture vapor that is evaporated and condensed.

• Cumulonimbus (Cb) is a cloud that causes storms, this type of cloud can develop and tall and dense like a tower to touch the troposphere boundary at a height of 15,000 meters. This cloud is the fastest lightning and wind.

Cloud Use for Human Lives Behind all these dangers actually also have many benefits and usefulness that can be enjoyed by all living things.

• Weather and Climate Indicators
  The existence of clouds, it is very important for humans to be able to measure weather conditions and climate on earth. Without a cloud, meteorological and geophysical bodies will be difficult to map the weather, so the weather can not be predicted. Clouds also serve as a wind direction, because by looking at the clouds, we can know exactly where the wind is moving and how fast.

• Weather Regulator
  Because there is a large amount of water in it, clouds can also be the temperature and weather regulator through the rain process. Areas that experience drought and heat will soon be neutralized in case of rain.

• Water For Earth
  The rain water will soon be reabsorbed to the earth and will be returned in the form of a spring, then a river that can be a source of lifelong public space for all living things. The water cycle is often called Hydrology.

• Solar Radiation Reflector
  Not all solar radiation can be reflected from the atmosphere, sometimes ultraviolet radiation from some light into the earth. Lucky with the clouds, radiation that had escaped directly reflected back into space.

• Cloud Process
  The presence of clouds is often an indicator of flight schedules, if the atmospheric layers are filled with storm clouds, then there is usually a delay, because clouds can really affect the performance of aircraft engines, especially on clouds that contain large ice grains that can enter on aircraft engines. In addition to some types of clouds there are lots of lightning and wind, so this is very dangerous.

Avalanches in storm clouds also disrupt the balance of aircraft, so there are some types of clouds and types of rain that are so avoided by pilots; they choose to bend the plane or raise the altitude rather than face to face and through a storm cloud. Not a few air accidents are often caused by storm clouds.

Thank you, this is my writing for this time, if there are words that are not good, not polite, not clear. I can only apologize. Perfection belongs only to God, I am only human who can not escape from mistakes. So, greetings from me @youngky. For my friends in steemit and for all my faithful followers.
