Match each description with the convective weather feature being described. short-lived thunderstorm with a single updraft and downdraft ? [ Choose ] ordinary thunderstorm supercell thunderstorm mesoscale convective complex dry line microburst or downburst derecho contains a rotating updraft produces horizontal wind shear around a thunderstorm [ Choose ] A large cluster of long-lasting thunderstorms [ Choose ] straight line winds that produce damage over considerable distances [ Choose] air mass boundary that typically forms over Texas and Oklahoma in spring [ Choose) [ Choose] :Explanation / Answer
1. Short-lived thunderstorm with a single updraft and downdraft- Ordinary Thunderstorm
Ordinary thunderstorms tend to form in regions of low wind shear. Because of this fact, the storm's precipitation, along with the downdraft, can fall into the updraft.
2. contains a rotating updraft- Supercell Thunderstorm
a supercell as a thunderstorm with a deep rotating updraft (mesocyclone).
3.produces a horizontal wind shear around a thunderstorm- Microburst or downburst
4.A large cluster of long-lasting thunderstorms- Mesoscale Convective Complex
5.straight line winds that produce damage over considerable distances- Derecho
straight-line wind storm that is associated with a land-based, fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms.
6. Air mass boundary that typically forms over Texas and Oklahoma in spring- Dry line
A dry line is a boundary that separates a moist air mass from a dry air mass. Dry lines are most commonly found just east of the Rocky Mountains, separating a warm moist air mass to the east States like Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska frequently experience dry lines in the spring and summer.
