The following text is for questions 4 to 6
A thundesrstorm, also known as an electrical strom, a lightning
storm, thundershower or simply a storm, is a form of turbulent weather
characterized by the presence of lightning and its acoustic effect on
the earths atmosphere known as thunder. The meteorologically

assigned cloud type associated with the thunderstorm is the

cumulonimbus. The thunderstorms are usually accompanied by strong
winds, heavy rain and sometimes snow, sleet, hail, or no precipitation
at all. Those that cause hail to fall are called hailstorms. Tunderstorms
may line up in a series or rainband, known as squall line. Strong or
severe thunderstorms may rotate, known as supercells. While most
thunderstorms move with the mean wind flow through the layer of the
troposphere that they occupy vertical wind shear causes a deviation in
their course at a right angle to the wind shear direction.
The thunderstorms result from the rapid upward movement of
warm, moist air. They can occur inside warm, moist air masses and at
fronts. As the warm, moist air moves upward, it cools condenses, and
forms cumulonimbus clouds that can reach heights of over 20 km
(12.45 miles). As the rising air reaches its dew point, water droplets
and ice form and begin falling the long distance through the clouds
towards the earths surface. As the droplets fall, they collide with other
droplets and become larger. The falling droplets create a downdraft of
air that spreads out at the earths surface and causes strong winds
associated commonly with thunderstorms.
