Thunderstorm Formation
Thunderstorms form when warm, humid air
rises in an unstable environment.
A number of things, such as unequal heating
of Earth's surface or lifting of warm air along a
front can trigger the upward air movement
needed to create thunderstorm-producing
cumulonimbus clouds.
Severe thunderstorms produce high winds,
damaging hail, flash floods, and tornadoes.
