What is the main difference in the rainfall nature of nimbostratus and cumulonimbus clouds?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Nimbostratus can give widespread steady rain, while cumulonimbus can give intense stormy rain

Correct answer: D. Nimbostratus is generally a broad, layered cloud associated with widespread and relatively continuous precipitation. Its rain or snow may continue for a long period and is usually not dominated by sudden explosive convection. Cumulonimbus, in contrast, is a very deep cloud with strong vertical development. It can produce intense showers, thunderstorms, lightning, gusty winds, and sometimes hail. Option A is wrong because both cloud types can be associated with precipitation. Option B is wrong because nimbostratus commonly produces steady rain or snow. Option C is wrong because cumulonimbus is not thin; it is vertically extensive and towering. D correctly contrasts widespread, steady precipitation with localized, intense, convective precipitation. Memory cue: “stratus spreads steadily; cumulonimbus rises violently.”
