Answer:

There are high-level clouds, mid-level clouds, and low-level clouds. The altitude of each type of cloud is 20,000 ft, 6,500-20,000ft, and under 6,500 ft, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

High-level clouds consist of three subtypes of clouds: cirrus, cirrostatus, and cirrocumulus clouds.

Mid-level clouds consist of two subtypes of clouds: altocumulus, and altostratus clouds.

Low-level clouds consist of two subtypes of clouds: stratocumulus, and nimbostratus clouds
