1. What feature is normally associated with the cumulus stage of a

thunderstorm?
A. Beginning of rain at the surface.
B. Frequent lightning.
C. Continuous updraft.
The key feature of the cumulus stage of a thunderstorm is continuous

updrafts that cause the formation of the cloud.
Answer A is incorrect because rain beginning at the surface signals the
beginning of the mature stage. Answer B is incorrect because lightning is
