The stage of thunderstorm formation which is characterized by updrafts accompanied by downdrafts induced by falling precipitation is called "mature stage."

<h3>What is thunderstorm?</h3>

Thunderstorms are ferocious, brief meteorological disturbances that are nearly always accompanied by lightning, thunder, thick clouds, significant amounts of rain or hail, with strong gusts of wind.

Some characteristics of thunderstorm are-

Layers of warmer, moist air travel in a strong updraft to cooler areas of the atmosphere, whereupon thunderstorms form.
At that location, the updraft's moisture condenses to create imposing cumulus clouds and, subsequently, precipitation.
Cooled air columns then descend to the ground and are met by powerful downpours and horizontal winds.
In parallel, electrical charges build up on cloud molecules (water droplets with ice).
When the electric charge that has collected is sufficiently high, lightning discharges happen.
When lightning strikes, it instantly and intensely warms the surrounding air, creating shock waves that sound like thunderclaps and rolls.
Occasionally, air vortices that are spinning and powerful enough just to create tornadoes are present with intense thunderstorms.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

C. A mass of air that is similar in temperature and humidity

Explanation:

An "air mass" refers to a big volume of air that is characterized by having similar or uniform "temperature" and "humidity" (moisture). They come from different source regions, thus they are classified accordingly.

The "cold air masses" come from the polar areas while the "warm air masses" come from the tropical areas. An air mass may cause a storm, for example, when an air mass moves to a new region and confronts another air mass there with a different humidity and temperature.

How is a wind erosion different from water and glacier erosion?

Naya [18.7K]

Wind erosion is occurred when pieces of the earth are worn away by the strong winds. It occurs in dry bare areas when wind blows and moves the dirt around. Wind erosion causes damage to the crops by removing the soil which crops needed from it. ... Water erosion is the more powerful erosion than wind erosion.

I dont know about Glacier erosion.

hope this helped!
