Question

Write a paragraph on Thunderstorm about 60 words​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thunderstorms are local storms characterized by swift upward movement of air and heavy rainfall with cloud thunder and lightning. According to A.N. Strahler “a thunderstorm is an intense local storm associated with large, dense cumulonimbus clouds in which there are very strong updraft of air.”

Because of heavy downpour associated with thunderstorms they are also called ‘cloud bursts’ but the rainfall is of very short duration. Thunderstorms differ from cyclones in that the latter are almost circular in shape wherein winds blow from outside towards the centre while the former is characterized by strong updraft of air. They are considered to be special case of convective mecha­nism

Answer 2

thunderstorm, a violent short-lived weather disturbance that is almost always associated with lightning, thunder, dense clouds, heavy rain or hail, and strong gusty winds. Thunderstorms arise when layers of warm, moist air rise in a large, swift updraft to cooler regions of the atmosphere. There the moisture contained in the updraft condenses to form towering cumulonimbus clouds and, eventually, precipitation. Columns of cooled air then sink earthward, striking the ground with strong downdrafts and horizontal winds. At the same time, electrical charges accumulate on cloud particles (water droplets and ice). Lightning discharges occur when the accumulated electric charge becomes sufficiently large. Lightning heats the air it passes through so intensely and quickly that shock waves are produced; these shock waves are heard as claps and rolls of thunder. On occasion, severe thunderstorms are accompanied by swirling vortices of air that become concentrated and powerful enough to form tornadoes
