Question 758Navigation General
70% to passCumulonimbus clouds can produce _______________.
The correct answer is A) gusty winds, thunder, rain or hail, and lightning. Cumulonimbus clouds are large, vertically developed clouds that can reach high altitudes and are associated with thunderstorm activity. These clouds can produce a range of hazardous weather conditions, including gusty winds, heavy rain or hail, thunder, and lightning. This is due to the intense vertical air currents and rapid condensation and precipitation processes within cumulonimbus clouds. The other options are incorrect because: B) is associated with the approach of a warm front, not cumulonimbus clouds; C) describes the weather patterns associated with a cold front, not cumulonimbus clouds; and D) describes the conditions associated with fog, not cumulonimbus clouds.
