Question 1200Navigation General

The correct answer is A) nimbostratus cloud. Nimbostratus clouds are low, dark, sheet-like clouds that are associated with continuous precipitation for many hours. They are formed by the gradual lifting of warm, moist air, resulting in widespread, steady rainfall or drizzle. This type of cloud formation is characteristic of warm fronts and steady, large-scale precipitation events. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) cumulus clouds are puffy, vertical clouds that are associated with unstable air and occasional showers; C) cumulonimbus clouds are towering, thunderstorm clouds; and D) cirrus clouds are high-altitude, wispy clouds that are not associated with continuous precipitation.
