Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The area where thunderstorms frequently occur globally and give reason.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Globally, thunderstorms occur the year-round in tropical regions and in mid-latitude during the warmer months due to the presence of warm air, abundant moisture, and instability.
Explanation of Solution
At a given time, about 2000 thunderstorms occurred globally. Almost 45,000 thunderstorms occurs in a day and more than 16 million occurs around the world annually. Thunderstorms most commonly occur in areas where warm air, abundant moisture, and instability exist. Hence, thunderstorms occur in many tropical areas the year-round. These storms highly become warm-season phenomena in the middle latitudes and they become less common in areas that are farther from the equator.
