🔍 Key Concepts

• Different parts and features of cumulonimbus clouds • Where waterspouts and tornadoes most often develop in relation to a storm cloud • Meteorological terms for cloud appendages vs. precipitation types

💭 Think About

• Which option describes a specific cloud formation/feature hanging from the base of a thunderstorm, rather than ice or frost on surfaces? • Think about which term you have seen in diagrams of severe thunderstorms, often labeled near the base of the cumulonimbus. • Eliminate any terms that are clearly related to ice crystals, frost, or general thunderclouds instead of small mounds on the cloud bottom.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice refers to a feature of cloud structure, not a type of ice or precipitation. • Recall that waterspouts and tornadoes are associated with severe convective activity and often form under the base of strong cumulonimbus clouds. • Before picking, ask: can this term be drawn as a lumpy, pouch-like bulge on the underside of the cloud? If not, rule it out.
