A cumulus cloud starts to form in a warm air mass that is ascending rapidly through a
slightly cooler air mass. Of the following, which is likely the most logical cause of
condensation in the warm air mass? - answerA reduction in temperature caused by the
reduction in atmosphere pressure.
Cumulus clouds are puffy clouds that sometimes look like pieces of floating cotton. A
