What is Vertical draft?
{{no sources|date=December 2023}} An [[updraft]] or [[downdrafts]] is the vertical movement of [[air]] as [[weather]] causes two forces to move. Updrafts lead to the formation of [[clouds]]. Clouds that form in the air are called updrafts, known as converging air, are caused by the [[dew point]]. Warm [[water]] evaporates, then condenses, forming clouds. From the [[dew point]], the water can evaporate to gas, called [[water vapor]]. Visible or invisible gas rises to the air, forming these cotton candy-like white or gray clouds in the air. ==Evaporation== Evaporation is caused by: 1. Solar energy 2. Kinetic energy ==Condensation== After the warm, moist air reaches the atmosphere, it transforms. Condensation occurs when warm, moist air reaches where the clouds are, the air cools down then becomes a cloud. #[[Cirrus cloud]] #[[Cumulus cloud]] #[[Stratus cloud]] Precipitation clouds #[[Cumulonimbus cloud]] #[[Nimbostratus cloud]] Middle-altitude clouds #[[Altocirrus cloud]] #[[Altocumulus cloud]] #[[Altostratus cloud]] ==Dew point== Dew points depend on evaporation and the point that something freezes, might be the most important item, the dew point is affected on air humidity, the more moisture, the higher the dew point. ==Related pages== * [[Deposition (phase transition)]] * [[Condensation]] * [[Sublimation]] {{weather-stub}} [[Category:Weather]] [[Category:Winds]]
