Cloud Types

1. Three types of low clouds are Stratocumulus clouds,Stratus clouds, and Cumulus clouds. Three types of middle clouds are Altocumulus clouds, Altostratus clouds, and Nimbostratus clouds. The three types of high clouds are Cirrus clouds, Cirrocumulus clouds, and Cirrostratus clouds. The only vertical cloud is the cumulonimbus cloud. My favorite clouds would have to be the cirrus clouds they remind me of a lot of animals. Low clouds can bring drizzle rain, middle clouds can bring warm, and humid temp. first but then turn to thunderstorms. Lastly high clouds can bring ice and rain.

Greenhouse Effects

The greenhouse effect is what makes this planet suitable for life as we know it. This effect also known as greenhouse gases has many gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide. Greenhouse gases can be produced through pollution.Greenhouse gases aren't bad at all. In fact, without them the earth would be frozen completely. However, TOO much greenhouse gases ARE bad because they contribute to what we call "Global Warming". That's because if there's too much greenhouse gases, too much heat is trapped on earth and can't escape into space therefore melting ice caps and resulting in floods. However, Global Warming IS good for some countries where it's difficult to grow crops because it'll rain more and farming will become easier.

1. Mostly found in the mid-western region (near california)
2. It is caused by plates (diverting, converting, and transforming) meshing and causing earth movement
3. This is called a fault (2 plates collide)

WHAT IS THE BEST RENEWABLE RESOURCE?

I believe that the best renewable resource would probably be solar energy. I chose this not only because its personally my favorite but because its not too expensive, also it doesnt just run on the sun. It can run on battery also because of all that power gained from the suns rays. It is also very easy to install.Solar energy is the best period.
