● So All of them is the correct option.

Answer 2

Question:

thunderstorm accompanied by

a. high speed wind.

b. heavy rainfall.

c. lighting

d. all of them ​

• Thunderstorm accompanied by high speed wind, heavy rainfall, lighting.

• So All of them is the correct option.

What are Thunderstorms?

• Lightning or electrical storm is known as a thunderstorm. It is characterized by lightning and thunder.  

• Thunderstorms produce strong winds, heavy rainfalls, and even produce snowfall and hail. Some of the thunderstorms don’t produce any precipitation and in some cases, thunderstorms produce very little precipitation.  

How Thunderstorms are Formed?

• Cumulonimbus Clouds produce Thunderstorms and it forms when there is a rapid rise or movement of warm and moist air.

• Cumulonimbus clouds sometimes form at even heights of over 20 kilometers and it is formed when there is the upward movement of warm, moist air.
• This warm air and moist air cools and condenses when it moves upwards resulting in the formation of cumulonimbus clouds.

• Condensation of Water vapor into water droplets or ice happens when the rising air reaches its dew point temperature.

• This results in a reduction of pressure locally within the thunderstorm cell.  

• Any precipitation falls a long distance through the clouds on the way to the surface of the Earth.
• Larger droplets are formed when the smaller droplets that are falling down collide with other droplets.

• Downdraft is created by the falling droplets as it pulls cold air with it, and this cold air spreads out at the surface of the Earth.

• This results in strong winds that are commonly produced during thunderstorms.

Where do Thunderstorms Occur?

• Thunderstorms can form and develop in any geographic location but
• Usually, it forms within the mid-latitude, since there is more possibility of warm moist air found in Tropical Latitudes colliding with cooler air coming from polar latitudes.

Lightning

• Lightning is one of the most beautiful displays we can see in our nature which can certainly be deadly at times.
• It is a sudden electrostatic discharge between the electrically charged regions of the cloud.

How Lightning Occurs?

• Lightning can be explained in terms of charges produced due to rubbing.

• During a thunderstorm, the air currents move upwards and the water droplets move downwards.

• And this caused due to the separation of charge due to this vigorous motion.

• As a result of this process, the positive charges collect near the upper edge and the negative charges accumulate near the lower edge of the cloud and also near the ground.

• As the charge gets accumulated, its magnitude becomes very large. Water droplets in the air act as a conductor of this charge.

• These charges flow to meet, thus producing strikes of lightning and thunder. For this phenomenon to occur, a sufficiently high electric potential between two regions and a high resistance medium must be present.

Thunderstorm

• Thunderstorms are storms ranging several kilometers in diameter, created by the rapid lifting of moist and warm air, as a result of which a dense vertical tower of the cloud is created.
• Thunderstorms are associated with strong winds, hail, lightning, tornadoes, thunder and heavy rain.

What causes thunderstorms?

• Air carrying water droplets are lifted vertically into the atmosphere due to unequal warming of the surface of the Earth.
• As a result of this lift, the air condenses and latent heat is released with the expansion resulting from a decrease in pressure (with the increase in height).
• These condensed droplets freeze and fall back to the ground along with hail, and lightning.
