When air over land becomes hot and rises rapidly during summer days, which type of cloud is commonly formed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cumulonimbus clouds

Correct answer: B, cumulonimbus clouds. Strong heating of the land warms the air near the surface. Warm, moist air is less dense, so it rises by convection. As it rises, it expands and cools; water vapour can then condense into a tall cloud with powerful vertical development. Cumulonimbus clouds are commonly associated with showers, thunderstorms, lightning and sometimes hail, depending on atmospheric conditions. A is wrong because stratus clouds are generally broad, layered clouds formed by gentle lifting or stable air. C is wrong because cirrus clouds are high, thin, ice-crystal clouds and are not the usual result of strong near-surface convection. D is wrong because altostratus is a middle-level layered cloud. The word cumulo suggests heap or vertical growth, while nimbus indicates rain. Memory cue: hot rising air builds a towering rain cloud.
