A thunderstorm occurs when moist air near the ground becomes heated and rises, creating cumulonimbus clouds which produces precipitation. Lightning is created from electrical charges accumulating at the base of the clouds. As a result of being heated, air in the path of the lightning expands, creating thunder
What else can I help you with?
What do thunderstorms have to do with Tornadoes?
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form.
What thunderstorms form the portion of the atmosphere that the cloud grow through must be?
Thunderstorms form in the troposphere. The tops of strong thunderstorms may go into the stratosphere.
Are tornadoes thunderstorms?
No. Tornadoes are violent whirlwinds that can form during thunderstorms.
Do thunderstorms occur during tornadoes?
Yes. Tornadoes form during severe thunderstorms. They cannot form without them.
Does thunderstorms form with dry air or moist air?
Thunderstorms require moist air to form. That is where the rain comes from.
Do tornadoes begin over the ocean why or why not?
Generally not. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms called supercells, which form under similar conditions to ordinary thunderstorms and as anybody can tell you, thunderstorms don't need to form over an ocean. That said, some tornadoes do form on the ocean.
Do tornadoes usually form from thunderclouds?
Tornadoes can only form during thunderstorms.
Can stratus clouds produce thunderstorms?
Stratus clouds are generally associated with stable atmospheric conditions, so they are less likely to produce thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are typically associated with cumulonimbus clouds, which are tall, dense clouds that form in unstable atmospheric conditions.
Is thunderstorms caused by cold front and high pressure?
No Thunderstorms often form along cold fronts, but are generally associated with low pressure. However, a cold front is not necessary for thunderstorms to form.
What creates thunderstorms?
thunderstorms form when an air mass becomes so unstable that it overturns violently.
What clouds form thunderstorms?
Cumulonimbus Cloud
What type of clouds do thunderstorms form in?
cumulonimbus
