The most important factor in thunderstorms development is ________

A. Atmospheric stability

B. Atmospheric instability

C. Abundance of moisture

D. Temperature inversion

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Atmospheric instability is the most important factor in thunderstorm development. Surface heating brings about an element of instability in the warm and moist air lying close to the surface. That is why warm and moist air becomes unstable in spring and summer when it is heated from below. Air mass thunderstorms develop in this way.
