When fires heat the air above them, the high levels of heat can induce convection that can lead to the formation of dense clouds, which we refer to as either Cumulus homogenitus if the fire is intentional or Cumulus flammagenitus, otherwise known as pyrocumulus clouds, if the fire was formed naturally. The mix of smoke particles and water droplets generally appears like a dark billowing Cumulus congestus cloud with a brownish hue, like this one spotted by Lexina Burton (Member 57,812) above Southern Queensland, Australia, which most likely resulted from intentional stubble burning for crop management purposes. This is cattle country, and Lexina likened the Cumulus congestus homogenitus to the head of a cowboy keeping watch on the herds below.
