Why is the chance of heavy rain and hail higher in cumulonimbus clouds?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They have strong updrafts and great vertical development

Answer: A, cumulonimbus clouds have strong updrafts and great vertical development. Warm, moist air rises rapidly and builds a tall cloud. Powerful upward currents keep water droplets and ice particles suspended, allowing them to collide, freeze, and grow. When the particles become too heavy for the air currents to support, heavy rain or hail falls. Lightning and thunder may also occur because these are storm clouds. B is wrong because cumulonimbus are not thin; they are deep, tall clouds. C is wrong because moisture is essential for their droplets and ice particles. D is wrong because clouds form in the atmosphere, not only on the ground. A useful cue is “cumulonimbus = towering storm cloud”: vertical growth and strong updrafts explain intense precipitation and hail.
