The appearance of a flat anvil top indicates that the developing thunderstorm cloud (cumulonimbus) has reached a(n) extremely stable portion of the atmosphere.

Strong winds at high altitudes help create anvils in thunderclouds. The flat top of the anvil forms when rising cloudy air meets the highly stable air of the tropopause and lower stratosphere.

This marks the beginning of the second stage (maturation). The term downdraft is used to describe rain and cold air that begins to descend from a thunderstorm. Downdrafts cumulonimbus (as opposed to updrafts) can be thought of as cold air masses in clouds heading toward the Earth's surface.

Where along the 48 states is plate collision currently taking place?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Sometimes an entire ocean closes as tectonic plates converge, causing blocks of thick continental crust to collide. A collisional mountain range forms as the crust is compressed, crumpled, and thickened even more. The effect is like a swimmer putting a beach ball under his or her belly—the swimmer will rise up considerably out of the water. The highest mountains on Earth today, the Himalayas, are so high because the full thickness of the Indian subcontinent is shoving beneath Asia.

The Appalachian Mountains formed during a collision of continents 500 to 300 million years ago. In their prime they probably had peaks as high as those in the modern zone of continental collision stretching from the Himalayas in Asia to the Alps in Europe. But over the past 300 million years, the Appalachians have eroded to more modest heights.
