Question

lesson 15 - water cycle
what are clouds made out of?
(1 point)
ice crystals
steam
tiny water droplets
water in gas form

Explanation:

To determine what clouds are made of, we analyze the options:

• Ice crystals: While some high - altitude clouds have ice crystals, most clouds (especially lower - level ones) are not mainly made of ice crystals.
• Steam: Steam is water in a gaseous state, but clouds are not made of steam. Steam is invisible, and clouds are visible.
• Tiny water droplets: Clouds form when water vapor in the air cools and condenses into tiny water droplets. This is the main component of most clouds.
• Water in gas form: Water in gas form is water vapor, which is invisible. Clouds are visible, so they are not made of water in gas form.

Answer:

C. tiny water droplets
