explain the development of a thunderstorm
Answers
Answer:
In hot and Humid tropical regions like India, thunderstorms or lightning storms are known to occur frequently. Thunderstorms are accompanied by thunder, lightning and heavy rains. It is also rarely accompanied by snow and hail.
The heat of the sun in tropical region heats up the air near the Earth's surface. This hot air rises up. The water vapour present in air duty humidity also rises up along with hot air. As water vapour reaches the upper layers of atmosphere which is comparatively cooler than the Earth surface, it cools and condensers to form clouds. The clouds of water vapour further course to form water droplets that fall down towards the earth in the form of rain. Some of the droplets freeze and fall as snow or hail. While falling down, the collision between water droplets and ice crystals takes place due to the rising air and fast moving wind. During Collision, the friction between them cause the clouds to get electrically charged. When these charts clouds get discharge they produce huge sparks. These parts are seen in the form of lightning. The lightning rapidly heats the air in its path that results in a loud sound that is heard as thunder. This is the reason why lightning is generally accompanied by thunder.
Fact- A severe thunderstorm sometimes produces approximately 600 lightning strikes every minute.
