what is the reason for development of thunderstorm |
|
Answer» Thunderstorms result from the rapid upward movement of warm, moist air, sometimes along afront. As the warm, moist air moves upward, it cools,condenses, and forms a cumulonimbus cloud that can reach heights of over 20 kilometres (12mi). As the rising air reaches itsdew pointtemperature, water vapor condenses into water droplets or ice, reducing pressure locally within the thunderstorm cell. Any precipitation falls the long distance through the clouds towards the Earth's surface. As the droplets fall, they collide with other droplets and become larger. The falling droplets create adowndraftas it pulls cold air with it, and this cold air spreads out at the Earth's surface, occasionally causing strong winds that are commonly associated with thunderstorms |
