Now no longer will the root word onym run around anonymously, having no âname,â since at least you will not be fooled! anonymous: without a ânameâ. pseudonym: false ânameâ. synonym: word that shares its ânameâ together with another. antonym: word whose ânameâ is opposite another. patronymic: the fatherâs ânameâ.
A thunderstorm is a storm where you hear thunder and see lightning. Usually there is heavy rain in a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms are electric storms. When there is about to be a thunderstorm, a cumulonimbus cloud forms, often in a clear blue sky. (When a cloudâs name ends in nimbus, it means rain or snow is falling from the cloud.) The cloud increases in size and begins to build up peaks, which become very dark.
Thunderstorms are most likely to form when the temperature of the air decreases with height pretty rapidly; for example, when itâs hot at the ground and cold aloft. Thunderstorms that form at night occur in the absence of heating at the ground by the sun. Consequently, the storms that form at night are usually âelevated,â meaning that they form aloft above the cooler air near the ground, rather than near the ground, which only during the day can get warmer.
