The female cones are located at the top of the tree while make cones are at the bottom. The placement of cones is important in reproduction. Because cross-pollination between trees is desired. Wind will bring pollen from the male cone to female cones from other trees.
From the image given below its clear that the warm is rising upwards and as a result of the collision from the cold winds or front from below, hence the development of clouds that make the thunderstorms appear.
And a result of this turbulent the rising air is pushed and the warm front cycle takes a turn and will lead to either development of cyclone or rainfall.
