The correct answer is A. Cumulonimbus.

Explanation

Cumulonimbus, also called vertical development clouds, are a type of cloud that is characterized by expanding from the bottom up through the process of convection, that is, the sun's rays cause the water contained in the cloud to evaporate (take a gaseous state), in this way the water rises until it reaches a point where it condenses to precipitate, but different to other clouds it does not precipitate or become rain but the process is repeated making the cloud develop vertically. Additionally, the rains produced by these clouds are usually quite abundant accompanied by thunderstorms. So, the correct answer is A. Cumulonimbus.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

A. and is likely the basis for the Epic of Gilgamesh and the biblical epic of Noah's Ark.

Explanation:

These are two common stories about the great flood. They were also similar circumstances.

Mediterranean water flowed into the Black Sea through its single connection: the Bosporus Strait.

The Mediterranean water that does inflow mixes with fresher Black Sea water, and as its salinity and density decreases, the Mediterranean water forms plume-shaped features. These plumes flow away from the mouth of the strait and descend until their density matches that of surrounding waters, usually at depths of 100 to 600 meters.

This creates some sort of stormy environment, which is reminiscent of the two religious stories.

Hexagonal basalt columns formed from a volcanic eruption. Basalt columns are the result of a cooling process that changes the appearance of the lava.
