Why does warm moist air rise rapidly from earths surface before a thunderstorm begins?
Warm air is less dense than cool air. The moisture has an interesting role to play. As a mass of air rises, it cools, but the surrounding air generally cools with altitude as well. When the rising air is moist, the moisture can eventually condense to form clouds. The condensation releases heat, which slows the rate at which the air cools. If there is enough moisture present and the surrounding air cools quickly enough, this extra heat allows the rising air mass to remain warmer than its surroundings and continue to rise. It is through this process that the towering clouds of thunderstorms form.

During which stage of a thunderstorm does rain begin to fall?
The stage of a thunderstorm that rain begins to fall is when the clouds begin to turn black and during and after the lightning strikes.
Why does everything get calm before a tornado?
The calm before a tornado is due to the changing wind patterns and pressure within a tornado-producing storm. As the storm intensifies, air begins to rise rapidly, creating a calm and still area near the center of the storm before the tornado forms. This calm period is often short-lived and is followed by the destructive tornado itself.
What type of cloud is associated with the mature stage of a thunderstorm?
The most intense stage of a thunderstorm. It begins when precipitation reaches the ground and is characterized by both an updraft and a downdraft. This is the stage in which you can expect heavy rainfall, hail, lightning, and high wind speeds. This stage ends when there is no longer any updraft and the cloud begins to dissipate.
Where does ionosphere begin above Earth's surface?

List two of the thermosphere and describe word each begins above Earth's surface?
The two layers that make up the thermosphere are the thermopause, which starts at around 500 km above the Earth's surface, and the exosphere, which begins around 700 km above. The thermopause is the boundary that marks the transition from the thermosphere to the exosphere, where the density of molecules is extremely low.
What begins a tropical disturbance?

When does a thunderstorm begin?
A thunderstorm typically begins when warm, humid air rises rapidly in an unstable atmosphere, forming cumulonimbus clouds. As the air continues to rise, it cools and condenses, leading to the development of lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and sometimes hail.

How is an charge produced in a thunderstorm?
There is a negative and positive charge between the clouds or the sky and the ground. The positive charge is attracted to the negative. So positive begins to charge up before basically attacking the negative which is the ground.
Why does everything get calm before a tornado?
The calm before a tornado is due to the changing wind patterns and pressure within a tornado-producing storm. As the storm intensifies, air begins to rise rapidly, creating a calm and still area near the center of the storm before the tornado forms. This calm period is often short-lived and is followed by the destructive tornado itself.
What begins as a tropical disturbance?
A tropical disturbance begins as a cluster of thunderstorms over warm ocean waters. As it gains organization and intensity, it may develop into a tropical depression, tropical storm, and eventually a hurricane.

"An" is used before a word that begins with a vowel while "A" is used before a word that begins with a consonant.
What stage is considered the birth stage in a thunderstorm?
The birth stage in a thunderstorm is called the cumulus stage. During this stage, warm air rises and begins to form cumulus clouds due to the updrafts. The air then cools and condenses, leading to the development of the storm clouds.
What type of cloud is associated with the mature stage of a thunderstorm?
The most intense stage of a thunderstorm. It begins when precipitation reaches the ground and is characterized by both an updraft and a downdraft.
