When warm air rises and cold air sinks (convection) it plays a role in the formation of severe thunderstorms. If the warm surface air is forced to rise, it will continue to rise, because it is less dense than the surrounding air. it will also transfer heat from the land surface to upper levels of the atmosphere through the process of convection.
ReplyDeleteLightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground.The accumulation of electric charges has to be great enough to overcome the insulating properties of air. When this happens, a stream of negative charges pours down towards a high point where positive charges have clustered due to the pull of the thunderhead.
~Brooke C and Taylar H
I agree with what you said. I also said that Lightning is formed when negative charges in a cloud are attracted to the positive charges in the ground.
DeleteWe agree that the positive charges cluster at a high point from the pull of the thunderhead. That is why you shouldn't be near trees or flag poles during a storm because you could get electrocuted.
DeleteWe agree with all your statements we also wanted to know if you guys knew there were 3 different types of thunderstorms. The three types of storms are organic, frontal, and air mass.
DeleteThunderstorms: There are three main types of thunderstorms, orographic, air mass, and frontal. Warm air rising and cool air sinking plays a key role in the formation of thunderstorms. Two of the most important things for thunderstorm to form are unstable air and moisture.
ReplyDeleteLightening: Lightning is formed when negative charges in a cloud are attracted to the positive charges in the ground. When the connection between the protons is made the protons rush up to meet the electrons. That is when lightening strikes and we hear thunder. Thunder is the sound caused by rapidly expanding air.
We didn't know that there were three different types of thunderstorms.
DeleteWarm air rising and cold air sinking is called convection. That is very interesting that thunder is the sound of rapidly expanding air, I never knew that, it is very cool.
DeleteWe didn't know that the thunder was caused by the sound of rapidly expanding air. We just thought that it occurred as the lightning struck something (tree, fence post, lightning rod, ground, etc.)
DeleteWe also added about the three different types of thunderstorms we thought it was really important.

Convection is one of the main causes of thunder storms, convection is when hot air rises and cold air sinks. There are three main types of thunderstorms; orographic, air mass, and frontal. Orographic thunderstorms are caused by air that is forced up by a mountain or hillside.Air mass thunderstorms are the result of localized convection in an unstable air mass. Frontal thunderstorms occur along the boundaries of weather fronts. Lightning happens when negative charges in the bottom of clouds are attracted to positive charges in the ground. When there are enough negative charges there is force enough to overcome the insulating properties of air and charges down towards the positive charges. At this point the positive charges rush up to meet the negative ones and form lightning.
ReplyDeleteWe don't remember reading about the different types of thunderstorms. We think we might have Frontal Thunderstorms in Cincinnati, but we could also have air mass thunderstorms.
DeleteThunderstorms form somewhat like tornadoes. They form from a combination of conduction, radiation, and convection. First, the sun heats the earth in radiation. Then, since the earth is in direct contact with the air above it, it heats up that air in conduction. Finally, the hot air rises and forces cooler air to sink, in a process called convection. This moving air results in thunder storms.
ReplyDeleteThere are three types of thunder storms. One of them is caused by large mountains or hills pushing the air up, and those types are called orographic. Another type of thunder storm is an air mass storm, and those are caused by convection in an unstable air mass. Finally, frontal thunder storms occur on weather fronts (cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts).
Lightning occurs when the negative charges of the bottom of a cloud are attracted to the positive charges in the ground. Once they connect, the negative and positive charges rush to meet each other and form not only lightning, but also thunder.
Yes, we agree that thunderstorms form somewhat like tornadoes do.
DeleteWarm air rising and cool air sinking, this is called convection, play a key role in forming thunderstorms. Two important ingredients to form thunderstorms are unstable air and moisture. We learned that there are 3 mains types of thunderstorms; orographic, air mass, and frontal. Lightning occurs when negative charges in the bottom of clouds and positive charges in the ground attract. When a stream of negative charges pours down toward the positive charges a connection is made. The protons meet with the electrons causing lightning.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that there had to be unstable air for thunder storms to form.
DeleteFrom the thunder section, we learned that convection is when warm air rises. Also, we learned that conduction is when the sun warms the earth and the earth warms the air above it. Warm air rising, and cool air sinking plays a key role in the formation of thunderstorms. Lightning happens when electrons are attracted to the positive protons on the ground. When protons meet with the electrons, we see lightning and hear thunder. We also learned that thunder is the sound of the air expanding.
ReplyDeleteWe agree with all your statements we also wanted to know if you guys knew there were 3 different types of thunderstorms. The three types of storms are organic, frontal, and air mass.

@Brynn, Abby, and Jenny:
ReplyDeleteWe agree with you. We have the exact same information. We think thunderstorms can cause severe damage and can be very dangerous. We find thunder very fascinating by how it is caused, along with lightning.
Same here, we were shocked about how you should avoid getting struck by lightning. You are sopposed to squat down and cover your head in the middle of an open place to avoid getting struck by lightning. We think that knowing about thunderstorms is important for us because we get them a lot in Cincinnati.
DeleteTo tell the truth I knew nothing on how thunder storms form so this was an interesting read. I learned that when the sun heats the earth, then energy from the earth transfers to the air this is called conduction. I also learned that there are three different types of storms, air mass, organic, and frontal. Air mass thunderstorms are the result of localized convection in an unstable air mass. Orographic thunderstorms are caused by air that is forced up by a mountain or hillside. Frontal thunderstorms occur along the boundaries of weather fronts.
ReplyDeleteWith the lightning i knew the basics like how it occurs. Lightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground. But I didn't know that the accumulation of electric charges has to be greater than the insulating properties of air. Lightning heats the air along its path causing it to expand rapidly. Thunder is the sound caused by the rapidly expanding air.
Yeah, we knew nothing about thunder too. It is a quite interesting how thunderstorms can make such a loud BOOM but still be 10-15 miles away! Is it true that if you count in Mississippi after it BOOM's that's how far away it is?
DeleteThere are three main types of thunderstorms; orographic, air mass, and frontal. An intense line of thunderstorms that forms right along or just ahead of a cold front is called a squall line. Supercell thunderstorms occur when very strong updrafts are balanced by downdrafts.

But thunderstorms mainly happens though is something called convection. Sorry bub.
DeleteThunderstorm mainly happen because of convection. Sorry bub.
DeleteThe action of warm air rising and cold air sinking is the key role in the formation of severe thunderstorms.Because it is less dense than the surrounding air, it will continue to rise. We learned that in a lightning/thunder storm, if you were to be stuck in a severe storm, you should squat down in the middle of an open area because you are the highest thing around. Lightning happens when the negative charges in the bottom of a cloud are attracted to the positive charges in the ground. Thunder is caused by rapidly expanding air. When the accumulation of electric charges has to be great enough to overcome the insulating properties of air, a stream of negative charges pours down towards a high point where positive charges have clustered due to the pull of the thunderhead.

ReplyDeleteFirst, we don't agree with your idea of squatting down, it would still make you the highest thing around because if your in an open place you would be the only thing there, so you would be highest. But we do agree with your explanations on how lightning and thunderstorms are formed. We agree with you when you tell us negative charges are attracted and then connect to positive charges in the ground and that's how lightning is formed, and how thunder is formed is our exact words, its the rapid expanding of air.
DeleteI have learned that a key role in thunderstorms forming is warm air rising and cold air sinking, (convection). If warm air that it on the surface that is forced to rise, will continue to rise because it is less dense then the air surrounding it. However two of the important things to make a thunderstorm is unstable air and moisture.
ReplyDeleteLightning happens when the electrons in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the protons in the ground. For lighting to produce the number of electric charges has to overcome the insulating properties of air. If this happens lighting will be produced.
warm air rises and cold air sinks.That plays a key role in the making of thunderstorms.Two of the most important ingredients for thunderstorm formation are instability and moisture.there are three main types of thunderstorms; orographic, air mass, and frontal. Super cell thunder storms appear when there is very strong updrafts are balanced by downdrafts. Speeds in a updraft can be as fast as 90 mph. Some super cell thunderstorms can create tornadoes.
ReplyDeleteFirst the sun warms the earth and the heat rises into the air and condenses. The warm air causes the water to evaporate and it rises into the air. Cold air then condenses the vapor into clouds, if the clouds get big enough they can form a thunderstorm. Lightning comes down when the electrons in the bottom of clouds are attracted to the protons in the earth. The electrons have to overcome the insulating properties of air, and when it does, a stream of negative charge comes down and a connection is made between protons and electrons. And thunder is caused by the rapid expanding of air.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you explain How lightening works and what causes it to occur.
DeleteLightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground. The accumulation of electric charges has to be great enough to overcome the insulating properties of air. When this happens, a stream of negative charges pours down towards a high point where positive charges have clustered due to the pull of the thunderhead. The connection is made and the protons rush up to meet the electrons. On a hot summer day the surface of the Earth is heated by the sun (radiation). Energy is then transferred from the Earth to the air just above the surface through the process of conduction.The action of warm air rising and cold air sinking (convection) plays a key role in the formation of severe thunderstorms. If the warm surface air is forced to rise, it will continue to rise, because it is less dense than the surrounding air. In addition, it will transfer heat from the land surface to upper levels of the atmosphere through the process of convection.
ReplyDeleteWe really like your answer, it has a lot of information in it, we just wish you had included the three types of thunderstorms in your answer. Other than that, great job.
DeleteWe learned that there are three types of thunderstorms orogrphic,air mass and frontal. Super cell thunderstorms are caused by very strong updrafts that are balanced by downdrafts.When condensation occurs heat is released and helps the thunderstorm grow.We learned that
ReplyDeleteLightning happens when the negative charges in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges in the ground.The accumulation of electric charges has to be great enough to overcome the insulating properties of air. A bolt of lighting heats up air around it causing it to expand rapidly.
I learned several things about the formation of thunderstorms. I learned that unstable air is one of the most important factors that contribute to thunderstorms. Air is unstable if it is warmer than surrounding air, its temperature will make it rise. There are three main types of thunderstorms, orographic thunderstorms, air mass thunderstorms and frontal thunderstorms. Orographic thunderstorms form because air is forced up because of a mountain or hill. Air mass thunderstorms form because convection is localized in an unstable air mass. Frontal thunderstorms form along the edge of a weather front. Lightning forms when the electrons in a thunderstorm cloud are attracted by the protons in a high standing object. If the charge is great enough then we will see lightning. The thunder happens because the heat causes the air to expand quickly.
ReplyDeleteElectrons can be attracted to more than just high standing objects they can be attracted to lots of things that are high standing or low standing.
DeleteWe like your answer, its very detailed and many things are what we have. We agree with you when you tell us unstable air is important, its hotter than surrounding air and will then rise. But we didn't put the three types of storms or what they are/do. But we have the same thing for lightning, its formed when negative and positive charges connect, and thunder is the rapid expanding of air.
DeleteWe like your answer, its very detailed and constructive.
DeleteThunderstorms form like tornadoes.They form from a combination of conduction,radiation and convection.First the sun heats the earth in radiation.Then since the earth is in direct contact with the air above it.It heats up that air in conduction.Finally the hot air rises and forces cooler air to fall down in a process called convection.This moving air results in thunder storms.Lightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground.The accumulation of electric charges has to be great enough to overcome the insulating properties of air.When this happens, a stream of negative charges pours down towards a high point where positive charges have clustered due to the pull of the thunderhead.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah negative charges are electrons and positive charges are protons. We completely forgot to mention that.
Delete@ Bailee and Lexi...
ReplyDeleteI agree with your answer. It is very thorough. I feel that you should have explained more about the three types of thunderstorms and how they form. Other than this I really like your answer.

In addition, it will transfer heat from the land surface to upper levels of the atmosphere through the process of convection. We learned that speeds in an updraft can go up to 90 mph, and that warm air rising and cold air sinking (convection). Also my group learned that thunderstorms can be very dangerous and deadly so take cover if you hear a BOOM!
ReplyDeleteThe BOOM you say is actually the sound of contact of lightning to the earth. So yes if you hear it take cover under something not metal or conducting
DeleteWe learned that thunderstorms form when warm air rises and cold air sink, the two most important "ingredients" in making a thunderstorm is moisture and unstable air. There are 3 types of thunder storms. The first one is Orographic thunderstorms, they air formed when air is forced up by a mountain or hillside.The next one is an Air mass thunderstorms and they are the result of localized convection in an unstable air mass. And the final one is the Frontal thunderstorm which occurs along the boundaries of weather fronts (e.g. cold front). We learned that lightning is formed when there is negative charges in the bottom of a cloud and there is positive charges in the ground. The charges have to be greater than the insulating air and then the connection is made and the protons meet the electrons. That is when you hear and see thunder and lightning.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't know that there were 3 types of thunderstorms, we agree with your post. It gives a lot of information that we didn't know before.

ReplyDelete@ Sam Gunther and Charlie Raines...
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Your answer was very thorough and well said. I feel that you should have added at the end that the rapid expanding of air causes the thunder. I like how you talked about the Super cell thunderstorms; I did not put this in my answer.
The action of warm air rising and cold air sinking is what makes thunderstorms form.If warm air is forced to rise, it will keep rising because it's less dense than the air around it. Also, it will transfer heat from the land surface to upper levels of the atmosphere through convection.
ReplyDeleteLightning happens when electrons at the bottom of clouds are attracted to protons on the ground. When the build up of electricity overcomes the insulating properties of air. When this happens, a stream of negative charges goes down to a high point where positive charges have clusters due to the pull of the thunderhead.
Thunderstorms are formed by warm air rising and cold air sinking. The warm air is forced to rise, because it's less dense than the air surrounding. Heat will transfer from the land to the upper levels of the atmosphere through the process of convection. We have learned that the warmer the air is, the more the severe the storm is. Lighting is formed when the negative charges in the bottom of the cloud, are attracted to the positive charges in the ground. The accumulation of charges are great enough to overcome insulating the heat transfer of the air properties.
ReplyDeleteLightning forms when negative charges are attracted to positive charges in the ground and over time the energy in the ground gets strong and it creates lightning.
ReplyDeletewe learned ...

Deletei wonder how thunderstorms start i know about the water cycle but the lightning i have no idea about so i do not know how lightning starts
ReplyDeletelightning start from static electron's and they start going down then start to branch and when it get's to the ground the lightining starts to light up.

What I learned from the website was that thunderstorms occur from density & weather & that lightning forms when negative electrons connect with positive electrons on the ground.-Dominic Deutsch

DeleteMya Hill,
DeleteI agree with your post but you didn't really explain how thunderstorms form and how they are caused.Your post also could have had more detail.
thunder storms are formed by warm air rising and cold air sinking and that a key role in the formation of thunder storms. thunder storms impact our lives by causeing chaos. thunder storms can also form when srtong updrafts are balanced with downdrafts. lightning happens when the negative charges electrons in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges protons in the ground. one way the rotation appears to happen is when winds at two different altitudes blow at two different speeds creating wind shear.
ReplyDeleteLightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground. thats how lighting is formed.. thunder storms are formed by the temp of the weather, if hot meats cold then there would be a thunder storm.. thats how thunder storms are formed.

ReplyDeleteI like how you girls worded you answer and how you two actually explained in full detail what you learned.
thunder start's pretty much the same way as lightning because the thunder is the lightning and the rain start's when the cloud's can't hold all the rain and the cloud's just let go of the rain.

2 of the most important things to form a thunder storm are instability[unstable air] and and moister. There are 3 main types of thunderstorms air mass, orthographic and frontal thunderstorms.
ReplyDeleteAir Mass- The result of localized convection in an unstable air mass.
Orthographic-Caused by air that is forced up by a mountain or hillside.
Frontal-occur along the boundaries of weather fronts.[cold front]
When there's a intense line of thunderstorms its called a squall line.
Super cell- Occur when strong updrafts are balanced by downdrafts so the storm can last for hours.
Lighting happens when negative[electrons] charges in the bottom of a cloud are attracted to a positive charge in the ground.[protons]
the accumulation of electric charges needs to be great enough to overcome insalating properties so when that happens a negative charge goes down where a high point positive charge has clustrared together due to the pull of the thunderhead
When warm air rises and cold air sinks (convection) it plays a role in the formation of severe thunderstorm. Orographic thunderstorms are caused by air that is forced up by a mountain or hillside.First, the sun heats the earth in radiation. Then, since the earth is in direct contact with the air above it, it heats up that air in conduction.

We learned that, Tornado's can happen at any time during a thunderstorm. Tornado's can be very dangerous and deadly. Lighting, can also strike at any time during a thunderstorm. Lighting can kill or injure a person very badly. Lighting usually strike's at tall building's or tree's. That's why you have too be very careful, uring thunderstorm's.

ReplyDeleteSomething we learned about thunder storms is it occur the most in Florida. Its true that the ocean surrounding the state provides lot of moisture, this causes a thunder storm. Thunder storms form because of warm air rising and cold air sinking.Lighting happens when negative charges in the clouds are attracted to positive charges in the ground. When the connection of the negative and positive charges are made protons rush together creating lighting. Something we learned is that if you squat down in the middle of an open area with your feet on the ground you will not get hit by lighting.

DeleteThunderstorms form when the sun evaporates water to from clouds.Then the when the cold air comes down the clouds go up.And then when the temp rises it gits bigger.Last it stores up enough water to state the storm.The positive charge from the tree.And the negative charge from the clouds collide and make lightening.

ReplyDeleteThunder storms happen when cool air sinks and warm air rises. The types are orographic, air mass, and frontal thundestorms
ReplyDeleteIn this article I learned that the action of warm air rising and cold air sinking plays a key role in thunderstorms. there are 3 main types of thunderstorms, orographic,air mass, and frontal. Orographic thunderstorms are formed by air being forced up a hill or mountain. air mass thunderstorms are the result of localized convection in an unstable air mass. frontal thunderstorms occur along the boundaries of weather fronts.
ReplyDeleteI learned that thunderstorms form when warm air rises and the cold air sinks, the warm air continues to rise because it is less dense than the surrounding air. forming thunder storms
ReplyDeleteLightning is formed when the positive electrons from the ground and the negative electrons from the clouds connect forming lightning.
Thunderstorms are when warm air rises and cool air sinks. the warm air rises and forms thunderstorms. Lightning is formed from positive and negative charges when the positive rise and the negative meet.
ReplyDelete.Thunderstorms:The warm surface in the air is forced to rise, it will keep rise because it is less than the surrounding air.There are three main types of thunderstorms: orographic, air mass, and frontal.The Orographic thunderstorms are caused by air that is forced up by a mountain or hillsides.The Air mass thunderstorms are the result of localized convection in an unstable air mass.Frontal thunderstorms occur along the boundaries of weather fronts.E.X:cold fronts.
ReplyDeleteLightening:Lightning happens when the negative charge in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges in the ground.A bolt of lightning heats the air up along its path causing it to expand rapidly. When this happens a stream of negative charges pours down towards a high point where positive charges are more with rise.Thunder is the sound caused by rapidly expanding air
