How does the cumlonimbus cloud form?

Answer 1

Cumulus clouds can develop into cumulonimbus clouds, which are usually thunderstorms. All thunderstorms contain an updraft, which is a rising air current. Under the right conditions this updraft can start rotating, becoming a mesocyclone. The thunderstorm is now called a supercell. Sometimes the bottom of the mesocyclone can tighten and intensify to produce a tornado.

Answer 2

Cumulus clouds are formed when sunshine warms moist air pockets, causing them to rise at a quickened pace. As they rise higher, the pockets of air billow out, forming the fluffy cloud shapes we all know and love.

Answer 3

Water evaporates into the air and this gathers to form a cumulonimbus.
clouds got their names by J W in a very famous year 1880 in his English class. he decided to make an Acrostic poem

Caring and sharing

Lovable and loyal

Over the moon for the each other

Under discovered love

Designs made with each other and

Sweet

at that time he was outside looking up at the sky and saw these fluffy white things floating in the sky he then came up with the word CLOUDS for these fluffy things as they looked like love hearts.
A cumulonimbus cloud forms when all these conditions combine :

A ready supply of warm, moist air, which can rise at speeds up to 70 miles per hour

Tropospheric winds need to increase considerably with height to encourage it to lean forward

The atmosphere around the cloud needs to be "unstable" i.e., no temperature inversion

cumulonimbus clouds are formed from cumulus coop at low heat which gives them there mushroom like shape.

hope this helps

Answer 4

Cumulonimbus clouds form worldwide. They are caused by rising (warmed) air cooling and condensing to form rain drops. As all of the planet gets sunshine at some time over the year, these clouds can form anywhere.

The formation of each of cloud drop gives a little bit of heat out and this heat drives the clouds up even more, so they become very tall and showers of rain, snow or hail fall can from the cumulonimbus cloud. It is the only cloud that brings thunder and lightning and hail.

As the initial driving force is heating causing air to rise, the clouds are tallest where the air is warmest (i.e. at the Equator) and a lot smaller where the warm air is not as warm (i.e Polar regions).

In winter, the clouds take their warmth from the sea/lakes (the land is colder than the water in winter), so cumulonimbus clouds form over the sea/lakes and near the coast. In summer the strongest cumulonimbus farm over the land (because the land is a lot warmer than the water in summer)

Answer 5

Cumulonimbus clouds form when something, usually a front, causes warm moist air to lift. As this air rises it cools, but not as fast as the air around it, making it buoyant so that it continues to rise. Eventually it cools to the point that the moisture in it condenses, forming a cumulus cloud. This further accelerates the rising of the air, which causes the cloud to grow tall, becoming a cumulus congestus or towering cumulus. Eventually there is enough condensation for the cloud to start producing rain. Eventually the cloud will rise to a layer of air, in many cases the tropopause, the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere. The cloud cannot continue to grow upwards so it spreads out at the top, forming an anvil. The cloud is now a cumulonimbus.

Answer 6

Cumulus clouds are formed when warm air rises. As the air rises it cools and the moisture in it condenses.

Answer 7

It forms when the warm air rises in the air.

Answer 8

Cumulus clouds usually don't produce precipitation, but occasionally produce rain or, in colder weather, snow.

Answer 9

by the water that is on the ground and that goes up into the air as evaporation and the more air or water that is in the air the taller the cumulus cloud forms.

Answer 10

Cumulus clouds form below 6,000 ft.
