Cumulus clouds are caused by convection, during which a parcel of warm, moist air rises and cools until the air temperature equals the dew point temperature and invisible water vapor condenses to become liquid cloud droplets or solid ice crystals.

Cirrus Cloud Formation ; 9/23/2003 ... Are cirrus cloud ice crystals falling behind their source of origin due to drag in the atmosphere? ----------------- Bob I would expect that the ice crystals that form to create cirrus clouds are sublimed, changing directly from water vapor to water solid.

The cloud that forms is called cumulonimbus. It resembles cumulus but towers much higher, with a base at 1,000-5,000 ft (300-1,500 m). Rain starts to fall. Inside this very violent cloud, air rises rapidly in the convection cells and sinks between them.
