Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Jet streams are fast-moving air currents high in the troposphere. They are also the result of unequal heating of the atmosphere. Jet streams circle the planet, mainly from west to east. The strongest jet streams are the polar jets. The northern polar jet is shown in Figure below . Choices: - gale force winds - ocean streams - global winds - jet streams A:

Q: What weather phenomenon is caused by strong warm updrafts from heated ground? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Thunderstorms form when the ground is really hot ( Figure below ). The air near the ground becomes very warm and humid. This is true in some locations in late afternoon or early evening in spring and summer. The warm air rises rapidly, which creates strong updrafts. When the rising air cools, its water vapor condenses. The updrafts create tall cumulonimbus clouds. Winds blow the cloud top sideways. This makes the well-known anvil shape of a cloud known as a thunderhead ( Figure below ). Water droplets and ice fly up through the cloud. When these droplets get heavy enough, they fall. This starts a downdraft. A convection cell develops within the cloud. A mature thunderstorm produces gusty winds, lightning, heavy rain, and hail. Choices: - eruptions - currents - earthquakes - thunderstorms A:
**Answer**
thunderstorms
