If a storm cloud has strong upward motion and rainfall downward, what cloud does it indicate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cumulonimbus

Correct answer: A, cumulonimbus. A storm cloud with strong upward motion has powerful updrafts that carry warm, moist air upward. As this air rises, it cools and water vapour condenses into cloud droplets or ice particles. Within the tall cloud, turbulence and the movement of particles can produce large drops, so heavy rain may fall downward while air continues rising elsewhere. Cumulonimbus is therefore associated with thunderstorms, intense showers, and sometimes lightning or hail, although not every cumulonimbus produces every feature. Cirrus clouds are thin, high clouds made mainly of ice crystals and usually do not produce heavy rain reaching the ground. Stratus is a broad, layered cloud generally linked with gentle, widespread conditions. Fog is a cloud at or near the ground, not a tall storm cloud. Memory cue: “nimbus” signals precipitation, and “cumulo” suggests a growing heap or tower.
