Answer 1

Answer:

hello dear, the question that you posted is incomplete but not to worry I will give you some key points in order to be able to answer this kind of question.

Explanation:

So, since we do not have the complete question, let us proceed this way; we are given that the season is a warm SUMMER day and the atmospheric condition or the weather is HOT, HUMID at noon but later in some few hours the TEMPERATURE DROPPED and then, a thunderstorm occurred.

(1). The fact that the weather is in a humid condition that is relative humidity will make it possible to absorb more moisture.

(2). Also, we have a HOT weather which means that the rate at which EVAPORATION take place is high.

(3). The drop in temperature means that water molecule has been absorb from the surface of the earth which also includes the water molecules that would have adhere to their bodies. The air expands and move up and as the air move up they become colder and later condensed and this is the cause of the THUNDERSTORM -- a conventional rainfall.
