Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tropics are characterized by frequent thunderstorms and heavy rain showers, which are typically associated with cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds form as a result of convective activity, in which warm, moist air rises and cools, leading to the formation of towering cumulus clouds that eventually develop into thunderstorms. Therefore, option D, which describes cumulonimbus clouds forming as a result of convection, is the best choice.
