Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three stages of an air mass thunderstorm are cumulus, mature, and dissipating. In the cumulus stage, there is upward movement of air due to solar heating. In the mature stage, the storm has grown larger and rain begins to fall. In the dissipating stage, the storm weakens and eventually dissolves because it has used up all its available energy.
