A
A buildup of condensation
B
A buildup of an electrical charge difference between the top of a cloud
C
A buildup of an electrical charge difference between the bottom of a cloud and the earth due to friction

B
an electrical current
C
an electrical discharge between a rain and cloud.
8) What causes thunder?
A

cool ar moves up and warm air sinks
B
warmer air moves up and cool air sinks - horizontal spinning of air
C
Funnel cloud becomes tornado when it extends to Earth's surface
D
Rising air (low pressure) moves the spinning air to vertical = funnel cloud
