How Clouds Are Formed
I am reading up on how clouds are formed, etc. And, I was wondering if particulates in the air have anything to do with the formation of clouds.

Explanation of how a storm develops
Hi. I have been asked to give a lesson in Relief Society about the word "strengthen". I would like to use the analogy of how a storm forms and how a storm strengthens (what elements and conditions need to be present).. Will you write a short (if possible) explanation on what causes a storm and how a storm restrengthens?

Does thunder always follow lightning?
Thunder is the result of lightning heating up the air to as hot as 50,000 degrees. This sudden heating of the air causes it to rapidly expand and vibrate the air around it. It is a shock wave that expands away from the lightning stroke.
