Cloud made solely of liquid water droplets are termed as :

  • A.Cold cloud
  • B.Ice cloud
  • C.Warm cloud
  • D.Mixed phase cloud

Answer: C

Clouds made only of liquid droplets are warm clouds.

In cloud physics a warm cloud lies wholly at temperatures above 0°C, so it contains only liquid water, and its rain forms by collision and coalescence of droplets. Clouds that reach below freezing are cold clouds, where ice crystals grow at the expense of supercooled droplets (the Bergeron-Findeisen process).

An ice cloud, such as cirrus, is made of ice crystals; a mixed phase cloud holds both supercooled water and ice; and 'cold cloud' is the general name for clouds with ice processes. None of these is made solely of liquid water.
