The action of warm air rising and cold air sinking (convection) plays a key role in the formation of severe thunderstorms. If the warm surface air is forced to rise, it will continue to rise, because it is less dense than the surrounding air. In addition, it will transfer heat from the land surface to upper levels of the atmosphere through the process of convection.

How do snow storms form in the Appalachian Mountains or the Rocky Mountains Where do these storms get their moisture?
Snow storms in the Appalachian Mountains and the Rocky Mountains form when moist air is forced to rise over the mountains, leading to cooling and condensation of water vapor into snow. The moisture for these storms can come from nearby bodies of water, such as the Atlantic Ocean for the Appalachian Mountains and the Pacific Ocean for the Rocky Mountains.
Does storms only form in water?
No, storms can form over land as well, although they typically form more frequently and intensively over water due to the higher moisture content and heat energy available. Thunderstorms, for example, can develop over land when conditions are right in the atmosphere.
What are the two types of storms and how do they differ?
The two main types of storms are tropical storms and extratropical storms. Tropical storms form over warm ocean waters near the equator, while extratropical storms develop outside the tropics. Tropical storms have more organized circulation and primarily rely on warm, moist air for fuel, while extratropical storms are influenced by temperature and pressure gradients.
