Which cloud marks the top of a thermal?
Answer: B
A thermal reaching its lifting condensation level produces a cumulus cloud, so the cloud marks the top of the rising column and is the visible signature glider pilots use to locate lift. Stratus indicates a stable layer, cirrus is high ice cloud, and lenticular cloud marks wave lift rather than thermal lift. Each cloud type indicates a different kind of vertical motion. Most errors here come from carrying a result across from a neighbouring case where it does not hold.
