Thunderstorms are formed by a cold front and warm front meeting each other. Moisture must be present and energy (from the sun) is needed to cause the moisture to rise into the air. This rising action causes bumpy flying (thermals) and friction of the water against the atmosphere.
The static energy builds up to tremendous levels. If the pumping action of the system is strong enough, you will see lightening start to occur.
The energy from the sun is an important portion of this mix. That is why you will tend to see the largest storms occur in the afternoon, during the warmest portion of the day. They tend to get weaker through the night, although energy from warm ground or massive amounts of moisture in the air cause issues to develop at different times.
What else can I help you with?
What would be the least likely result of a earthquake a fire or a thunderstorm?
A thunderstorm would never result from an earthquake. Earthquakes can cause fires by breaking gas lines and electrical wires, but there is no mechanism by which an earthquake could cause a thunderstorm.
Does a thunderstorm have a weather or geologic cause?
Thunderstorms are weather events.
What is the cause and effect of the three laws of motion?
They are unrelated to "cause and effect".
Why are you drawn outside during a thunderstorm?
Being outside during a thunderstorm can be dangerous as lightning poses a significant risk of getting struck and potentially causing serious injury or even death. It is important to seek shelter indoors during a thunderstorm to stay safe.
Does a thunderstorm strike a car does a thunderstorm strike on one place how long does a thunderstorm strike?
A thunderstorm does not strike anything, it is "lightening" that does that.
What would be the least likely result of a earthquake a fire or a thunderstorm?
A thunderstorm would never result from an earthquake. Earthquakes can cause fires by breaking gas lines and electrical wires, but there is no mechanism by which an earthquake could cause a thunderstorm.
Can a tornado cause a thunderstorm?
No, it is the other way around: thunderstorms cause tornadoes.
Does a thunderstorm have a weather or geologic cause?
Thunderstorms are weather events.
When you have a thunderstorm do you have a flood too?
Thunderstorms can cause floods, but most do not.
Can a thunderstorm cause a tornado?
Yes, a severe thunderstorm can create the conditions necessary for a tornado to form. Thunderstorms with strong updrafts and rotation can produce tornadoes when other factors align, such as atmospheric instability and wind shear.
How does lightning cause a thunderstorm?
Lightning is created by a thunderstorm, not the other way around. Not all "thunderstorms" (cumulonimbus cloud formations) have lightning, but that is how they were named.
What are the difference in cause and effect?
the different between cause and effect.... cause=what cause the problem or what cause it to become a problem effect=what effect did it have on it hope that help u(:
Does a tornado cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
Is a tornado a effect of a thunderstorm?
Yes. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
Is it safe to leave a window open during a thunderstorm?
Leaving a window open during a thunderstorm is not safe because lightning can strike through open windows and cause harm. It is best to keep windows closed during a thunderstorm to stay safe.
Is it safe to leave windows open during a thunderstorm?
It is not safe to leave windows open during a thunderstorm because lightning can strike through open windows and cause harm. It is best to keep windows closed during a thunderstorm to stay safe.
How are supercell an downbust alike?
A supercell is a very strong rotating thunderstorm. A downburst can be made by a supercell, so they are not alike. Any severe thunderstorm including supercells can cause downbursts
