How can the same cumulonimbus cloud produce rain or hail?

Generally, it's the rain that it produces. However, if during this process the temperature drops to very low, they freeze and fall down as Hails.


How do cloud droplets become large enough to fall as precipitation?

well, they collect all together in the cloud and when it is full enough it all drops as precipitation


What determines what type of precipitation will fall from a Cumulonimbus cloud?

first it cools andf dries


What falls from cumulonimbus?

Depending on the temperature and other conditions, it could be rain, snow or hail. But if the question is about what falls from cumulonimbus that most likely wouldn't fall from other cloud formations, then the answer would be hail. It's the vertical activity that gives the cumulonimbus cloud its distinctive shape, and it's the vertical activity that forms hail...especially large hail stones.


How can rain and hail fall from the same cumulonimbus cloud?

The clouds usually are fairly restricted in height, but can sometimes extend upwards to much higher altitudes when they become known as cumulonimbus clouds. These are very large and can extend to 12000 metres or higher. At base level, the cloud is made up of water droplets but the top of the cloud is made up of ice crystals. Cumulonimbus produce severe weather such as heavy rain, hail, thunderstorms and tornadoes.


Which of the two theories of precipitation governs the fall of rain from the top of a cumulonimbus cloud?

Bergeron process and the collision-coalescence process

Describe the formation of a thunderstorm?

When the cumulus cloud becomes very large, the water in it become large and heavy. Raindrops start to fall through the cloud when the rising air can no longer hold them up. Meanwhile, cool dry air starts to enter the cloud. Because cool air is heavier than warm air, it starts to descend in the cloud (known as a downdraft). The downdraft pulls the heavy water downward, making rain. This cloud has become a cumulonimbus cloud because it has an updraft, a downdraft, and rain. Lightning and thunder start to occur, as well as heavy rain. The cumulonimbus is now a thunderstorm cell.


When cloud droplets combine to form larger drops they fall to Earth as?

precipitation


When cloud droplets combine to form larger drops they fall to earth as what?

rain


How do you describe the weather conditions during which hailstones form and the process by which they form?

This is how they form they form when drops of rain freeze inside clouds with strong updraft winds like a large cumulonimbus cloud if the winds are strong enough they lift the hailstone through the inside of the cloud a hailstone may rise and fall many times each creating a new layer when it gets too heavy it falls down to the earths crust


What type of cloud does heavy rain fall from?

Cumulonimbus clouds, those can cause supercell storms (rotating thunderstorms) and then severe weather, such as deadly lightning, tornadoes, large hail, straight line winds, and even flooding.Another cloud is Mammatus. Mammatus hangs beneath the anvil of a mature thunder cloud. It produces severe weather especially tornadoes. I read this from a book so this is true.
