Answer:
Cumulonimbus (from Latin cumulus, "heaped" and nimbus, "rainstorm") is a dense, towering vertical cloud,[1] forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. If observed during a storm, these clouds may be referred to as thunderheads. Cumulonimbus can form alone, in clusters, or along cold front squall lines. These clouds are capable of producing lightning and other dangerous severe weather, such as tornadoes and hailstones. Cumulonimbus progress from overdeveloped cumulus congestus clouds and may further develop as part of a supercell. Cumulonimbus is abbreviated Cb.

Very common, heavy at timesTowering cumulonimbus clouds are typically accompanied by smaller cumulus clouds. The cumulonimbus base may extend several kilometres across and occupy low to middle altitudes - formed at altitude from approximately 200 to 4,000 m (700 to 10,000 ft). Peaks typically reach to as much as 12,000 m (39,000 ft), with extreme instances as high as 21,000 m (69,000 ft) or more.[2] Well-developed cumulonimbus clouds are characterized by a flat, anvil-like top (anvil dome), caused by wind shear or inversion near the tropopause. The shelf of the anvil may precede the main cloud's vertical component for many kilometres, and be accompanied by lightning. Occasionally, rising air parcels surpass the equilibrium level (due to momentum) and form an overshooting top culminating at the maximum parcel level. When vertically developed, this largest of all clouds usually extends through all three cloud regions. Even the smallest cumulonimbus cloud dwarfs its neighbors in comparison.
Species Edit
Cumulonimbus calvus: cloud with puffy top, similar to cumulus congestus which it develops from; under the correct conditions it can become a cumulonimbus capillatus.
Cumulonimbus capillatus: cloud with cirrus-like, fibrous-edged top.[3]Supplementary features Edit
Accessory clouds Edit
Arcus (including roll and shelf clouds): low, horizontal cloud formation associated with the leading edge of thunderstorm outflow.[4]
Pannus: accompanied by a lower layer of fractus species cloud forming in precipitation.[5]
Pileus (species calvus only): small cap-like cloud over parent cumulonimbus.
Velum: a thin horizontal sheet that forms around the middle of a cumulonimbus.[6]
Supplementary features Edit
Incus (species capillatus only): cumulonimbus with flat anvil-like cirriform top caused by wind shear where the rising air currents hit the inversion layer at the tropopause.[7]
Mamma or mammatus: consisting of bubble-like protrusions on the underside.
Tuba: column hanging from the cloud base which can develop into a funnel cloud or tornado. They are known to drop very low, sometimes just 6 metres (20 ft) above ground level.[6]
Flanking line is a line of small cumulonimbus or cumulus generally associated with severe thunderstorms.
An overshooting top is a dome that rises above the thunderstorm; it is associated with severe weather.
Precipitation-based supplementary features Edit
Rain: precipitation that reaches the ground as liquid, often in a precipitation shaft.[8]
Virga: precipitation that evaporates before reaching the ground.[6]
