The vertical extent of clouds formed by thermal lifting is determined by the moisture content and stability of the lifted air. In air containing a large amount of water vapour, more water is available and so a thicker cloud may be produced. In unstable air, the vertical currents extend to greater heights, tending to thicken the clouds. 2, record 2, English, - vertical%20extent%20of%20a%20cloud
