  • A hole-punch cloud is typically formed when an airplane passes through altocumulus clouds. Altocumulus clouds are made up of small, super cooled water droplets. When aircraft pass through these clouds, the rapid pressure changes they cause can cool the air further. That, in turn, causes the water droplets to form heavy ice crystals, which then drop from the sky, leaving behind a "hole punch." This hole-punch cloud was observed in Thurston County, Washington. Hole-punch clouds are also sometimes called sky-punch clouds.

  • Altocumulus clouds, turned pink by the setting sun, fill the sky over badlands formations known as the Tepees in Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. Tepees, also spelled tipi or teepee, is a tent that is traditionally made of animal skins over wooden poles. While humans have lived for 13,000 years in and around the modern day Petrified Forest National Park, the native dwellings were more commonly pithouses and pueblos.
