Question

What three things are needed for thunderstorms to develop

Answer 1

-Warm air forced up by a cold front (convection occurs)

-Cooling of the warm air to produce moisture that forms into a cloud

-Unstable air needs to break the "cap" to the lower atmosphere to let the thunderstorm actually occur

Answer 2

it needs something to form on smoke is the best called a condensation nuclei2 moister in the air 3 be heated then cooled down to form

Answer 3

Every Thunderstorm Needs:

Moisture - to form clouds and rain.

Unstable air- warm air that can rise rapidly.

Lift- cold or warm fronts, sea breezes, mountains, or the sun’s heat

are capable of lifting air to help form thunderstorms.

Answer 4

The initial requirements for the formation of thunderstorms are as follows:-

(1) The presence of moist air through considerable depth of the atmosphere,(initially it should be warm also)

(2) An unstable atmosphere for saturated air extending to great heights(ie,the lapse rate should be steep through deep layers of air) ,and

(3) A strong lifting mechanism to force air aloft to considerable heights.
