Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thunderstorms are convective storms because they are caused by warm air rising and cool air sinking, creating instability in the atmosphere. Adiabatic refers to a process where no heat is exchanged with the environment, stationary refers to a weather system that is not moving, and occluded refers to a type of front. Jet stream refers to a high altitude, fast-moving air current.
