How much do you know about clouds? - a quick quiz

[hatcheckgirl]

This is an interesting quiz about clouds.  Some very unusual specimens mentioned, some also affected or caused from changes to our environment due to greenhouse gasses.

Yes, very informative. But I only got a 4! My head must be in the clouds dirt.

I really don't know clouds a-at all."

BTW: I guess Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox are not correct answers??

No.  But that is a very cerebral answer.

Cool quiz. I got 6 out of 10. Thought I'd see something about mammulis clouds.

That was awesome. I got a 9, but I don't attribute that to MY knowledge, but to a brother who used to be a sailor, and when we went witnessing he would teach us what the clouds meant, they fascinate me. Haven't seen that one with the ice hole in the centre before - that confused me, but I have seen a rainbow cloud before ... and a roll cloud ... my favourite are cotton wool skies, that look like cottonballs close together, symbolizes strong gusty gales and rain in the next front. Brother Peter told me it was a bad front squeezing the clouds in the sky to tight balls that it is a harbinger of rought stuff to come. So far he's not been wrong. He taught me about horses tails too, wispy clouds that look like horses tails made of ice particles. Fascinating subject. Thanks for sharing that I'm going to look for more cloud quizzes.

I had to think about that one, I knew the clouds, but not the official name, so i went back to remembering that some describe them as cows udders, rather than cottonwool, and that related it to the mammary gland, hence mammulis. hehe.

This was a fun quiz. I think I will use it as a basis to make a lap book or paper bag book (books with little doors, or pop-ups, or pull-outs, or: youtube if you haven't seen/ made one)  for the homeschool teens from my congregation that are studying Earth and Space Science this year. I'd like to encourage each to do an independent unit on a subtopic that they like. I know one scholar is interested in space, one is interested in streams and estuaries, and not sure about the third.  Probably none of them is thinking of clouds as a preference, so it should be a good demo.  Thanks
