1. High clouds—composed almost entirely of ice crystals, the bases of these clouds start at 16,500 feet (5,032 meters) and reach 45,000 feet (13,725 meters).
2. Cirrus —thin feather-like crystal clouds in patches or narrow bands. The large ice crystals that often trail downward in well-defined wisps are called mare's tails.
3. Cirrostratusis—a thin, white cloud layer that resembles a veil or sheet. This layer can be striated or fibrous. Because of the ice content, these clouds are associated with the halos that surround the sun or moon.
<span>4. Cirrocumulus—thin clouds that appear as small white flakes or cotton patches and may contain super-cooled water.</span>
Answer:
A. When a sea breeze blows over cold water, water vapor is forced to condense thus forming fog.

Explanation:
A. We see this often in cities close to water such as San Fransisco.
B. You will see this in hot humid coastal areas such as Florida
Answer:
You can use the mass-luminosity relation to find the star's lifetime in terms of just its initial mass. The lifetime = mass/luminosity × 1010 years is simply = (star's mass)/[(star's mass)p] × 1010 years = 1/(star's mass)p-1 × 1010 years. Remember that the star's mass is in solar masses.

Pacific-Ring of Fire is the other name for the Circum-Pacific Belt. Among the options given withing the question, the correct option is option "C". It is actually the zone of earthquakes where 90% of the earthquakes of the world takes place. Numerous volcanic eruptions also occur in this region. This is a region where there is continuos shift of the tectonic plates and this results in either volcanic eruptions or earthquakes or both. Numerous volcanoes are also a part of this region. It is a horse-shoe shaped region. It has almost 452 volcanoes and they are either active or dormant.
