Clouds with extensive vertical development seen while flying over mountainous terrains are caused due to an unstable air mass that is forced to ascend a slope of the mountain.

<h3>What are cumulus clouds?</h3>

Cumulus clouds are the clouds that exhibit major vertical development, how, ever it has not yet converted into a thunderstorm. It is also called cumulus congestus or towering cumulus.

The term cumulus has been derived from the Latin word <em>cumulo</em>, which means heap or pile. These clouds have flat bases and are described as "puffy" in appearance. They may only be only 1000 meters above the ground and their tops have rounded towers. These clouds develop in an upward motion and can grow into a giant cumulonimbus, which is a thunderstorm cloud.

Pieces and full petrified logs in a barren area with mountains in the background.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The area was once a forest.

The area was uplifted.

The area was buried in sediment.

The area was probably covered by water.

Petrification of a dead plant or animal organisms occurs when rock mineral displaces the organic elements in the structure of the biotic matter or these minerals seep in between the spaces and pores within the dead plant or organism and become part of the material.

Explanation:

Petrification occurs under high pressure. This is why this process occurs in the crust after layers of sediments create enough pressure on the dead organic matter buried in with the sediments. This phenomenon commonly begins on the ocean floor where dead marine life sinks to the bottom and is buried by sediments over many years.  

Occasionally, tectonic plate forces uplift these petrified fossils from deep in the crust exposing them on the surface like in this case.
