Which of the following is a major factor in the formation of a thunderstorm?
A. High pressure
B. Stable atmospheric conditions
C. Subsidence
D. Unstable atmospheric conditions
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Thunderstorms form when there is atmospheric instability, meaning warm, moist air near the surface is forced to rise, leading to convection, condensation, and the development of cumulonimbus clouds.
Explanation:
The lowest atmospheric pressure is recorded during the monsoon season when low-pressure systems (monsoon trough) develop over the subcontinent.
