Question
Which of the following is the most probable explanation for a thunderstorm forming an overshooting top?
Options:
Leftover momentum from the updraft
Evaporating rain cools the environment air allowing the warm parcel to rise a little further.
Condensing rain warms the parcel air allowing the warm parcel to rise a little further.

3.Condensing rain warms the parcel air allowing the warm parcel to rise a little further.
Explanation / Answer
1. Leftover momentum from the updraft
Explanation:
Updraft means warm rising air
An overshooting top forms when a thunderstorm's updraft, due to momentum from rapid ascent and strength of lifting, protrudes its equilibrium level, forming a dome-like structure on top of the anvil.
Thunderstroms are mostly formed by rapid upward movement of warm moist air.
Then only it cools, condenses and forms a cumulonimbus cloud.
This water vapour condenses into water droplets, which reduces pressure within thunder strom cell.
the droplets collide with eachother & become larger. This will pull cold air and cause strong wind, which associated with thunder stroms
