|
| 1 - The sun
provides the heat source, heating up the ground strongly. |
| 2 - The ground
then heats up the air through convection and the air rises. |
| 3 - As the air
rises it cools very rapidly. |
| 4 - Large
clouds develop directly above the rising air as the cool air cannot hold
as much water. |
| 5 - Torrential rain and thunderstorms are caused when the air is cooled to such as degree that water droplets collide with each other in the clouds. Eventually, the individual droplets become so heavy, the air cannot hold them and they fall as rain. |
