The mature stage of a thunderstorm is identified by which feature?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both updrafts and downdrafts
The mature stage begins when precipitation develops and falling rain or hail produces downdrafts alongside continuing updrafts. The coexistence of strong updrafts and downdrafts makes this the most vigorous stage of the storm. Heavy rain, lightning, thunder, hail, and damaging gusts are common. The developing stage is dominated mainly by updrafts, while the dissipating stage is dominated by downdrafts.
