Question

What happens during the development of thunderstorms?

• A. Air current moves downwards, water droplets move downwards
• B. Air current moves downwards, water droplets move upwards
• C. Air current moves upwards, water droplets move downwards
• D. Air current moves upwards, water droplets move upwards

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Air current moves upwards, water droplets move downwards

During the development of a thunderstorm, the air currents move upward while the water droplets move downwards. Air rises upwards due to which the cloud becomes large and the water in the cloud becomes heavy. Raindrops start to fall through the cloud when the rising air can no longer hold them up.
