- The type of clouds described as having bases at a low altitude and tops at a high altitude are called: d. clouds of vertical development
- Clouds of vertical development are characterized by their considerable vertical extent, where their bases form at low altitudes, often close to the Earth's surface, and their tops can extend to high altitudes, sometimes reaching the upper levels of the troposphere. These clouds are associated with strong upward atmospheric motion, such as convection, and are often indicative of significant weather phenomena like thunderstorms or cumulonimbus clouds.
