Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Salt, dust particles, and smoke are considered condensation nuclei. These particles provide a surface on which water vapor can condense and form clouds. Freezing nuclei are particles that promote the formation of ice crystals in clouds. Hydrophobic nuclei are particles that are not attracted to water and therefore do not play a role in cloud formation. Anthropogenically-produced cloud nuclei are particles that are produced by human activities such as pollution, which can affect cloud formation and behavior.
