How can you describe a cumulonimbus cloud?
A cumulonimbus cloud is a towering cloud that is often associated with thunderstorms. It is characterized by its large vertical development, extending high into the atmosphere, and can produce heavy rain, lightning, thunder, and sometimes even tornadoes. Cumulonimbus clouds have a characteristic anvil shape at the top due to strong upper-level winds.
Is a stratus cloud a funnel cloud?
No. Stratus clouds are low level, usually flat clouds that can bring rain or snow but usually do not indicate hazardous weather. A funnel cloud is a rotating downward projection of a cumulonimbus that is often cone shaped.
What are tornado's and thunderstorms?
A thunderstorm is a rain storm that produces thunder and lightning usually associated with a cumulonimbus cloud. They can also produce strong, sometimes damaging and hail. A tornado is a violently rotating and often destructive column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground, often made visible by a condensation funnel.
What is the cloud that produces hail?
Hail comes from cumulonimbus clouds.
What does a cumulonimbus cloud produce?
A cumulonimbus cloud can produce heavy rainfall, lightning, thunder, and sometimes hail. They are associated with severe weather events such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, and heavy downpours.
What is a narrow funnel of air extending down from a cumulonimbus cloud?
a tornado :) 100%
What has a funnel and is at the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud?
A tornado has a funnel and is at the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud. If its winds do not reach the ground, though it is just a funnel cloud.
What cloud looks like a funnel and touching the ground?
A tornado cloud, also known as a funnel cloud, is a violent rotating column of air extending from a cumulonimbus cloud to the ground. Tornadoes are typically associated with severe thunderstorms and can cause significant damage and destruction. They are characterized by their distinctive funnel shape and destructive winds.
What happens when the spinning of air moves to the bottom of the cumulonimbus cloud?
It forms a funnel cloud.
What often happens after you spot a cumulonimbus cloud?
The cloud starts turning clockwise then turns into a funnel
What clouds are there in a tornado?
The funnel of a tornado itself is a called a funnel cloud, though this term is usually reserved for when it does not touch the ground. The funnel cloud often emerges from a low-hanging cloud called a wall cloud, which is attatched to the base of a cumulonimbus cloud.
Is a cirrus cloud a funnel cloud?
No. A cirrus cloud is a high, wavy, thin cloud formed of ice crystals. Funnel clouds are usually formed from cumulonimbus clouds (thunderclouds) at lower altitudes.
How do you tell when there is a funnel cloud?
A funnel cloud is a rotating column of air that extends from the base of a thunderstorm. They can be identified by their funnel-shaped appearance extending downwards from the cloud. Funnel clouds may or may not reach the ground to become tornadoes.
Which clouds develop tornadoes?
Tornadoes form in thunderstorms, which are composed of cumulonimbus clouds. Usually a tornado will form from a wall cloud that develops are the based of the cumulonimbus cloud, and will develop from a funnel cloud that comes out of the wall cloud.
What are cumulonimbus tornadoes?
There is no such thing as a cumulonimbus tornado. A cumulonimbus cloud is a ver large towering cloud. Most thunderstorms are cumulonimbus clouds, and some of the strongest of these storms are what produce tornadoes.
When a funnel cloud pokes through the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud and makes contact with the ground what does it form?
When a funnel cloud touches the ground, it forms a tornado. Tornadoes are rapidly rotating columns of air that extend from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud to the ground. They can cause significant damage due to their strong winds and intense rotation.
What happens when a funnel cloud pokes through a cumulonimbus cloud?
It forms a funnel cloud.
