What type of clouds would most likely result in hail and lightning?

Cumulonimbus clouds are most likely to result in hail and lightning. These are large, towering clouds associated with thunderstorms. The strong updrafts and downdrafts within cumulonimbus clouds promote the formation of hail and the development of lightning.


Is it true or false that maria are larger than most craters?

False. Most craters on Earth are larger than Maria, which are large, dark, basaltic plains on the Moon. Craters can range in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter, making them generally larger than Maria.
