∙ 12y ago- 4 basic types of Thunderstorms
Singe cell - Non/Severe - Typically last 20-30 minutes. Pulse storms can produce severe weather elements such as downbursts, hail, some heavy rainfall and occasionally weak tornadoes.
Multicell Cluster - Non/Severe - A group of cells moving as a single unit, with each cell in a different stage of the thunderstorm life cycle. Multicell storms can produce moderate size hail, flash floods and weak tornadoes.
Multicell Line - Non/Severe - Multicell line storms consist of a line of storms with a continuous, well developed gust front at the leading edge of the line. Also known as squall lines, these storms can produce small to moderate size hail, occasional flash floods and weak tornadoes.
Super cell - Severe - Defined as a thunderstorm with a rotating updraft, these storms can produce strong downbursts, large hail, occasional flash floods and weak to violent tornadoes

How do thunderstorms form on Earth?
Thunderstorms form when warm, moist air rises rapidly into the atmosphere, cools and condenses to form cumulonimbus clouds. As the clouds continue to grow, they can develop into thunderstorms with lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and sometimes hail. The instability in the atmosphere and the presence of a lifting mechanism, such as a cold front or sea breeze, help to trigger the formation of thunderstorms.
