Thunderstorms

Storms form when warm air rises from below the floor that causes the vapor to rise into the clouds and evaporate. Each water droplet or ice droplet and ice crystal carries electricity. There are billions of water and ice droplets. It takes five seconds for the sound of thunder to travel a mile. Hot air electricity forms lighting and lightning forms sound waves. Light travels fast so it would take two seconds to get to the moon. If you are in a car stay in there! The electricity of lightning can travel through the car but not you! A thunderstorm can rip off the wings on a plane. Planes can be turned upside down. Water vapor cools in a cloud. A storm cloud can be ten miles high. Cold air falls from the cloud and at the same time water is evaporating up into the cloud.

Here are 4 types of thunderstorms:

Single-cell

multi-cell is a cluster of storms

Squal line- a line of storm hundreds of miles long

Supercell- most intence storm it is also capable of Tornados.

  1. Hi Sophie,
    You captured a lot of information from the resources and shared the information in three parts: How the storms form, how the electricity forms and escapes with such force and the power of Thunderstorm can actually have.
    You listened and watch carefully to share what you had learned.
