Cumulus clouds can sometimes grow into which rain-bearing cloud?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cumulonimbus

Correct answer: A, cumulonimbus. Cumulus clouds are often puffy clouds with noticeable vertical development. When warm, moist air continues to rise strongly, the cloud can grow upward to a great height. A mature, very tall cumulus cloud may develop into a cumulonimbus cloud, which is commonly associated with heavy showers, thunderstorms, lightning, and sometimes hail. Option A is correct because cumulonimbus is the major vertically developed rain- and thunderstorm-bearing cloud. Option B is incorrect because cirrus clouds are thin, wispy, high clouds made mainly of ice crystals, not the usual mature form of a growing cumulus. Option C is incorrect because stratus clouds spread horizontally as layers rather than growing strongly upward from cumulus. Option D is incorrect because mist is a near-surface suspension of tiny droplets, not a tall cloud type. Memory cue: cumulus grows upward; cumulonimbus brings strong rain and storms.
