name 1 stage Thunderstorms have in their life cycle
The developing stage, the mature stage, and the dissipating stage.
what Measures humidity
Psychrometer/Hygrometer
how hurricanes form
For one to form, there needs to be warm ocean water and moist, humid air in the region. When humid air is flowing upward at a zone of low pressure over warm ocean water, the water is released from the air, as creating the clouds of the storm. As it rises, the air in a hurricane rotates.

what Carries a weather tool up in space to observe where we can’t
weather baloon
how hail forms
Hail forms when a thunderstorm updraft lifts a water droplet above the freezing level in the atmosphere. The frozen water droplet then accretes super-cooled water or water vapor, which freezes once it comes in contact with the frozen droplet. This process causes a hailstone to grow.

what Measures air temperature.
Thermometer
how does thunder happen
Thunder is created when lightning passes through the air. The lightning discharge heats the air rapidly and causes it to expand. The temperature of the air in the lightning channel may reach as high as 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun.
what Measures air pressure
