Strong updrafts within a thunderhead cloud can produce what?
rain
How do strong updrafts contribute to the severity to a thunderstorm?
Strong updrafts keep water droplets and ice crystals in the cloud, so they grow in size too. But when they get to heavy they release them as hail snow.
What causes a column of air spinning like a roll of toilet paper to turn to a vertical position?
strong updrafts of air in the cumulonimbus cloud
What are two characteristics of a thunderstorm that lead to hail formation?
First water droplets exist in the liquid state in the parts cumulonimbus cloud.second is strong updrafts and downdrafts exist side by side with in a cloud
What is the strong tornado that forms a cloud of dust when it makes contact with the ground?
It is simply a tornado and even a tornado that is considered "weak" by tornado standards can produce a cloud of dust at ground level.

What does the size of a hailstone depend on?
It depends on how strong the updrafts in a thunderstorm are. The stronger these updrafts (winds), the larger the hailstone it can support. As long as the hail remains supported in the cloud, it will continue to accrete ice and grow larger.

What are masses of air that rise through a cloud?
updrafts

What causes snowfall and sleet and hail?
Precipitation, like rain, when the temperature in the clouds is below freezing. Sleet and hail also require strong updrafts in the clouds that can lift the snow back up into the cloud repeatedly for additional coatings of ice, until it becomes too heavy for the updrafts to lift again.
What happens inside a cloud during the mature stage of a thunderstorm?
Convection cause the rising of air, rising air expands due to decreased pressure, which causes it to cool, which causes condenation. Condensation = rapid cloud building. The cumulus stage is characterized by updraft only.
What occurs when strong winds toss ice crystals up and down within a cloud?
Snow
Who helps in a flood and why?
wind helps in a flood because it brings the rain and it it's cloud are strong enough to produce rain.
