Condensation : Water vapour is the gaseous state of water I.e.

it’s molecules has good kinetic energy, due to


heating. Condensation is the process of water vapour turning back to water, when it comes into contact with a,
cloud-condensation-nuclei (dust) in atmosphere. Water supplied with heat turned it into Water vapour, and
hence water vapour turning back to water, should release heat, this heat is the Latent heat here. Clouds are
very tiny droplets water formed by condensation, that are very light enough that it floats.

a source of warm, moist air derived from tropical oceans with sea surface temperatures normally in the
region of, or in excess, of 27 °C;

winds near the ocean surface blowing from different directions converging and causing air to rise and
storm clouds to form;

winds which do not vary greatly with height - known as low wind shear. This allows the storm clouds to
rise vertically to high levels;

sufficient distance from the equator to provide spin or twist.
