can you describe the former one?
It occurs when one or more of three possible lifting agents – convective, cyclonic/frontal, or orographic – cause a parcel of air containing invisible water vapor to rise and cool to its dew point, the temperature at which the air becomes saturated.

Adiabatic cooling occurs when one or more of three possible lifting agents – convective, cyclonic/frontal, or orographic – cause a parcel of air containing invisible water vapor to rise and cool to its dew point, the temperature at which the air becomes saturated. The main mechanism behind this process is adiabatic cooling. As the air is cooled to its dew point and becomes saturated, water vapor normally condenses to form cloud drops. This condensation normally occurs on cloud condensation nuclei such as salt or dust particles that are small enough to be held aloft by normal circulation of the air.
One agent is the convective upward motion of air caused by daytime solar heating at surface level. Airmass instability allows for the formation of cumuliform clouds that can produce showers if the air is sufficiently moist. On moderately rare occasions, convective lift can be powerful enough to penetrate the tropopause and push the cloud top into the stratosphere.
chemical and physical processes include the formation of clouds Adiabatic cooling , Non-adiabatic cooling how is this associated with aristotle? Aristotle wrote "Meteorologica", a work which represented about natural science, including weather and climate. For the first time, precipitation and the clouds from which precipitation fell were called meteors, which originate from the Greek word "meteoros", meaning 'high in the sky'. what is it made up of? A visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere. Water or various other chemicals may compose the droplets and crystals. are there different types of cooling ? Yes - Adiabatic cooling , Non-adiabatic cooling
