Time for a Meteorology Class?

Let´s start with an easy Cloud defenition, shall we?

Defenition I :

The Hight of the Cloudbase

Low level

Medium level

High level

Defenition II :

The Form of the Clouds

Stratus 

Cumulus

Nimbo  (containing Waterdropplets of some kind depending on the temperature)

and  also combinations of these,

Stratocumulis, (Sc) Nimbostratus (Ns) or Cumulonimbo (Cb)

Remark that all these types sometimes can occur at the same time, and that has mostly to do with the atmospheric, upper winds and moisture conditions or frontalsystems. 

Check these clouds out, what kind are they?
