Question

A thunderstorm is accompanied by:
(a) Tornado
(b) Cyclone
(c) Lightning
(d) All of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

(c) Lightning

Explanation:

As per the question

Thunderstorm occurs when colder air hits warmer air. The moisture in the clouds cools off and drops as rain or hail. This moisture forms clouds and rain, while unstable air that is relatively warm rises rapidly and lifts from fronts, sea breezes or mountains and produces lightning and sound.

Hence, we can conclude that the thunderstorm is accompanied by lightning and sound.

Hence, the option which is correct is (c).

Answer 2

Answer:

              Lightning

Explanation:

When there is heavy movement of warm and moist air in upward direction, thunderstorm occurs. The warm & moist air once goes higher get cool, condense and form cumulonimbus cloud of over 20 kms height from the ground level.

As there are flows of electron streams between or within the clouds, lightning occurs. Because of cumulonimbus cloud formation, a thunderstorm is accompanied by lightning.
