Which change is most important for cumulus to become cumulonimbus?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Strong vertical growth and unstable moist air

Answer: A. Ordinary cumulus clouds can grow into cumulonimbus when warm, moist air continues to rise strongly in an unstable atmosphere. Strong convection builds the cloud vertically, often producing a deep tower with a large amount of water and ice. Such a mature cloud can be associated with heavy showers, lightning and sometimes hail, although not every cumulonimbus produces every one of these effects. B is wrong because clouds are not made of rock. C is wrong because abundant moisture supports cloud growth; completely dry air would usually weaken it. D is a surface process and does not provide the vertical cloud development needed here. The important change is not merely that the cloud becomes wider or darker, but that vigorous upward motion makes it deep and vertically developed. Memory cue: growing cumulus plus moist instability becomes a thundercloud.
