The Cumulonimbus cloud develops in the lower part of the troposphere, near the Earth's surface, and can reach high into the troposphere. This cloud can be a sign of dangerous storms to come.
A cloud is a collection of water droplets that float and collect in the Troposphere and occasionally in the lower portion of the Stratosphere.
It the Cumulonimbus Cloud, (CB) for short. Or more commonly known as the Thunderhead. It has a distinct anvil shape to it. The longest part of the"anvil" shows which direction the storm is headed. They produce lightning, thunder, heavy rain, hail, high winds including wind sheer or micro bursts and sometimes if the conditions are right, tornadoes.
Ozone layer is located in the STRATOSPHERE region of atmosphere. However some part of it is also located in TROPOSPHERE so it can be considered between stratosphere and troposphere.
a dark cloud filled with electicity: associated with thunderstormsCumulonimbus is a type of tall clouds that are stacked like a mountain. Its names is a combination of the Latin words "cumulo" that means "heap" and "nimbus" that means rain-producing cloud.The term 'cumulonimbus' comes from the combination of two words in the original, classical Latin. The first part of the word, 'cumulo-', comes from the noun 'cumulus', which is 'a heap, mass, or pile'. The second part of the word, 'nimbus', refers to 'a cloud', and most particularly to 'a black rain cloud'. And the description is most accurate, and most appropriate, for the heaped-up rain clouds, or thunderheads, to which the term refers.The suffix "nimbus" or "nimbo" as a prefix for other cloud types means "rain." So you can tell that a Cumulonimbus looks like Cumulus with "nimbus" at the end. Cumulonimbus means a Cumulus rain cloud.

The part of Earth's atmosphere closest to its surface is known as the troposphere. It extends from the Earth's surface up to an average altitude of about 7-10 kilometers. The troposphere is where most weather events occur and where almost all of Earth's clouds and precipitation are located.
The anvil is not part of a tornado nor is it directly related to tornadoes. When a thunderstorm forms, is produces a tall cloud called a cumulonimbus. The cloud rises until it reaches a stable layer, at which point the top spreads out flat. This flat top to the thunderstorm cloud is called the anvil. Most tornadoes are produced by a kind of thunderstorm called a supercell. Supercells usually have very well shaped anvils.
Both the troposphere and the stratosphere are layers of Earth's atmosphere. They are both part of the lower atmosphere, located below the mesosphere and thermosphere. The troposphere is where most weather events occur, while the stratosphere contains the ozone layer that helps protect Earth from the sun's harmful UV rays.
The Troposphere is part of the Atmosphere. It is the layer closest to the earth.
The warmest part of the troposphere is typically near the surface, as this is where the Earth receives direct sunlight and heat energy. Temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere, so the upper regions are generally colder.
