Miss Pringle, you never stop learning. I am 72. My family think I am dumb. But I get. Most of these are Questions right. I had to look after my brothers while mum worked.
So. I missed a lot of school but I’m spare time I read. While others girls where collecting pictures of pop stars. I was collecting information.
But the family stil think I am dumb. But I know I am not. That’s all that matters

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons every where
Looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

MagicTwanger, in advanced college & university courses geography includes climatology and meteorology (weather) as well as many other things....
Geography effects currents, which effects wind, which effects temperatures, which effects storms and so forth...

Uninitialized, Joni Mitchell.. a genius.. reading her lyrics just now gave me chills.. again..
Mama Crow
MagicTwanger, Your point is well-taken. However, geography has a direct impact on weather. so weather and geography do go together. Science, geography, and history often commingle.
Guillermo
my son has always been fascinated with clouds.. knows every type and he can predict the weather with uncanny accuracy

3 am. Sound asleep. A huge clap of thunder brings you upright in bed. Lightning flashes non-stop and thunder ceaselessly booms. The tornado sirens are screaming, and the power goes out. The rain is a solid sheet, obscuring vision, and the night is alive with sound. You know the tornado is out there, but where? Across town or two doors down? Cumulonimbus is the cloud that brings the beast.

Although I knew the correct name of this type of cloud, I've always nicknamed them "Cotton-Ball" clouds 😉

Beverley Australia, you're not dumb! If you get most of these questions right, you're pretty smart! I'm like you - always preferred books and fun facts to hairstyles and pop stars! 😊
