Storm formation begins when warm, moist air rises and cools, leading to condensation. This process creates clouds, and as more moisture accumulates, the clouds grow larger and darker. When the air continues to rise, it can lead to the development of thunderstorms, which are characterized by heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds. As the storm intensifies, it can produce severe weather conditions, such as tornadoes or hurricanes. These phenomena occur when there is a significant difference in temperature and pressure in the atmosphere. The interaction of these elements can lead to powerful storms that can impact large areas.
