phenomenon of lava flows cascading down the sides of volcanoes is a sight to behold. It is seen atop some of the most famous volcanoes in the world, such as Mount Fuji in Japan, Mayon Volcano in the Philippines, and Etna Mountain in Italy. This spectacular sight is an awe-inspiring reminder of the power of nature.As moist and stable air flows over a larger eddy, such as those caused by mountains, and temperatures drop below the dew point, lenticular clouds can form. These clouds are characterized by their lens-like appearance and often resemble flying saucers. They are most often seen along mountain ridges and wave crests, where they are created by the uplift of the air as it collides with the mountains. Lenticular clouds are formed when moist, stable air flows over a mountain or other large eddy and temperatures drop below the dew point. This causes the air to become saturated, and water droplets form and become visible as clouds. These clouds are unique in their shape and often resemble flying saucers. They can be seen along mountain ridges and wave crests, where they are formed by the uplifting of air as it collides with the mountains. Lenticular clouds are a sight to behold and can often be seen in mountainous regions.
Lenticular clouds in the shape of a flying saucer are exceptionally rare and infrequent, according to Le Dinh Quyet, deputy head of the forecasting department at the Southern Center for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting. These unusual, lens-shaped clouds are formed when stable, moist air is forced to rise over a mountain range, resulting in a wave-like pattern of clouds.
