Cumulonimbus clouds develop in an unstable atmosphere, where temperature near the surface are high while they are much lower at higher altitudes. On sunny days, the sun heats the ground, which in turn heats the air just above it. On cloud days, much of the sunlight is blocked from reaching the ground, and the ground does not warm up as much.
What else can I help you with?
What types of clouds are thunderstorms most likely to form?
altostratus ,altocumulus and cumulonimbus are thunderstorm clouds
Do cumulus clouds form into cumulonimbus clouds?
Yes, cumulus clouds can develop into cumulonimbus clouds through a process called cloud growth. Cumulonimbus clouds are larger and taller versions of cumulus clouds that can bring thunderstorms and severe weather.
Tornadoes often form from a type of cumulonimbus cloud called a?
Cumulonimbus incus, which has an obvious anvil top. Only very strong ones, called supercells, spawn tornadoes.Cumulonimbus icnus is the most likely type of storm cloud to produce a tornado. These cumulonimbus clouds are often supercells.Tornadoes can form from any cumulonimbus cloud, but they usually form from Cumulonimbus incus (heaped rain cloud with anvil) with a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. The type of storm this rotating cumulonimbus cloud brings is a strong thunderstorm called a supercell, the thunderstorm most likely to form a tornadocumulonimbus clouds
What type of clouds does a tornado form in?
Tornadoes are a product of severe thunderstorms, which take the form of cumulonimbus clouds.
What cumulonimbus cloud forms from a tornado?
None do. It is the other way around. Tornadoes form from cumulonimbus clouds.
Why might cumulonimbus clouds be more likely to form on sunny days than on days with little sunlight?
because they appear when warm air rises and its water vapor condenses
What types of clouds are thunderstorms most likely to form?
altostratus ,altocumulus and cumulonimbus are thunderstorm clouds
What type of clouds will most likely form at the place where the two meet?
cumulonimbus
Why do cumulonimbus form on sunny days?
Cumulonimbus clouds form when the atmosphere is unstable. One factor in an unstable atmosphere is a rapid temperature drop with increasing height. When the sun can shine directly on the ground it heats the lowest part of the atmosphere, which can lead to instability. Conversely, clouds block some of the sun's light from reaching the ground and tend to make the atmosphere more stable, which makes it harder for cumulonimbus clouds to form.
Does cumulonimbus mean volcano?
No. Cumulonimbus clouds are what form thunderstorms.
Are tornadoes associated with cumulonimbus clouds?
Yes, Tornadoes are produce by thunderstorms which form from cumulonimbus clouds.
In which type of clouds do tornados form?
cumulonimbus clouds
What kind of clouds do hurricanes form?
Cumulonimbus clouds
The type of clouds in which thunderstorm form is?
Cumulonimbus clouds
Do tornadoes form from stratus clouds?
No. Tornadoes form from cumulonimbus clouds.
Can stratus clouds produce thunderstorms?
Stratus clouds are generally associated with stable atmospheric conditions, so they are less likely to produce thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are typically associated with cumulonimbus clouds, which are tall, dense clouds that form in unstable atmospheric conditions.
What type of clouds do thunder storms form in?
Thunderstorms form in cumulonimbus clouds, which are large, towering clouds with great vertical development. These clouds can reach high into the atmosphere and produce heavy rainfall, lightning, thunder, and sometimes hail or tornadoes.
