The process of formation of shelf cloud depends on atmospheric pressure and wind speed. The cool air comes down from the stormy cloud. After hitting the ground, this cold air spreads forward. The cold air mixes with hot and moist air which is present above the ground. After this, the hot air rises up and makes a layer of horizontal clouds. This is called Shelf Cloud.
