Earth sciences news on Phys.org
A rising thermal rises till it hits a level ( height) where the moisture in the air of that thermal condenses into clouds.
This is called the dew point. The height at which dew point is reached and clouds form is called the condensation level.
The winds then carry those clouds off. But the thermal is still rising and causing new replacement clouds to form
and then in turn get carried off. This will continue till the rising thermal or the winds cease."

The question in the OP has been answered. Whether the OP believes it or not is unfortunately a different matter. Thread is closed.
