      Yes so different clouds form depending on where they form in the atmosphere, and where they form.. some above an ocean, above freshwater or land. Clouds that form over the Atlantic tend to have a lot more rain in them, than those forming overland in continental Europe, unless there is a change in air pressure and those clouds are forced to uptake more water.
