Answer to Question 1

Lenticular clouds are frequently formed when moist air crosses a mountain range and several lens shaped clouds, stacked above each other, are formed.

Answer to Question 2

Hygroscopic means water seeking. Substances that are hygroscopic allow water vapor to condense onto (collect on) them. A natural source of salt particles is sea salt - or salt particles that originate from sea water.
