The text is for questions 37 to 40

A supercell thunderstorm is similar to a single cell storm and tornado in that it

has a single main updraft. However, unlike the latter it is phenomenally strong,
reaching estimated speeds of 240-280km/h (150-175mph). It is so strong that it
can easily upturn cars, uproot trees and even destroy entire buildings.

The main difference between a supercell storm and other types is the presence
of rotational energy. This causes the updraft to rotate (referred to as a
‘mesocyclone’), and helps to generate extreme weather in the supercell’s
surrounding vicinity. This can include immense rain showers, massive two inch-
wide hail and violent tornadoes.

Supercells are classified into two types, low-precipitation and high-precipitation.

The former super cells tend to formulate in arid climates, such as the high plains
of the United States, while the letter are often found in moist climates closer to
the Earth’s equator. Regardless of type, super cells form when winds corning in
from various differing directions cause a rotational energy to be generated. This
helps formulate an updraft and from that, precipitation is produced.

Interestingly, however and the reason why this image is so amazing-precipitation

tends not to fall back down through the supercell’s updraft when generated,
instead being carried many miles downwind. Here, though, the supercell is
depositing a huge torrent of rainfall directly through the updraft.
