Which appearance does a cloud layer have on a plotted sounding?
Answer: B
Saturation requires the dew point to equal the temperature, so the two curves coincide throughout a cloud layer and its depth can be read directly. The dew point can never exceed the temperature, so a crossing indicates a data error rather than a physical condition. Cloud droplets do remove vapour but the remaining air stays saturated, which is why the curves stay together rather than diverging. Working one numerical case through both cases side by side fixes the distinction better than any rule of thumb.
