If a storm cloud shows a strong updraft and falling rain together, what cloud does it indicate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cumulonimbus

Direct answer: A, cumulonimbus. A strong updraft carries warm, moist air upward and allows a cloud to grow vertically to great heights. Within such a deep cloud, powerful upward and downward currents can coexist. Water droplets and ice particles grow, and heavy rain may fall while the updraft is still active. This combination of storm conditions, strong vertical development, and precipitation is characteristic of cumulonimbus. A is correct. B is wrong because cirrus clouds are thin, high, and mainly icy, not deep storm clouds. C is wrong because stratus clouds are generally low, broad, and layered, without the strong vertical structure of a thunderstorm. D is wrong because mist is a near-surface suspension of tiny droplets, not a tall storm cloud. Memory cue: ‘cumulus’ means heap or vertical growth, and ‘nimbus’ signals rain; cumulonimbus is the classic thunderstorm cloud.
