cumulonimbus
Storm clouds are typically cumulonimbus clouds, which are large, dense, and capable of producing thunderstorms and severe weather.

Yes, it is the most dangerous part of a hurricane.
No. A hurricane is an entirely different class of storm from thunderstorms and tornadoes. However, hurricanes often do produce thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Cumulonimbus clouds, the clouds of thunderstorms. A tornado is a product of a thunderstorm and descends to the ground from the base of a cumulonimbus. A hurricane is a storm system composed of many thunderstorms, and therefore contains many cumulonimbus clouds.
Thunderstorms are the most common storm, occurring frequently around the world. Lightning, heavy rain, strong winds, and sometimes tornadoes are associated with thunderstorms. Hurricanes and tornadoes are less common and occur in specific regions and under certain conditions.
Hurricanes are made as the sun heats tropical waters to form an area of very low pressure. Clouds form, and the Coriolis effect sets it spinning. The clouds in a hurricane are Cumulonimbus clouds (also known as Thunderheads or Thunderclouds)
Yes, storm surges are common with hurricanes. A storm surge is a rise in sea level caused by the storm's winds and low pressure, which can lead to flooding in coastal areas. Storm surges are one of the most dangerous and damaging aspects of hurricanes.
Thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes are all types of storm generally driven by warm moist air. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and some thunderstorms rotate and produce damaging winds. Tornadoes themselves are the product of rotating thunderstorms. Both hurricanes and thunderstorms can produce heavy rain.
Mammaus clouds are on the backsides of strong thunderstorms they are the key to knowing that a storm has passed.
The type of cloud that produces thunderstorms is called a cumulonimbus cloud. These clouds are large, towering clouds that can reach high altitudes and are associated with heavy rainfall, thunder, lightning, and sometimes hail.
Hurricanes get their energy from moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. Warm, moist air holds enormous amounts of energy. This air is drawn into a hurricane and the moisture condenses to form clouds, releasing its energy in the process to power the storm.
