Thunderstorms effects

Explanation:

Also called as a lightning storm, is a storm created by lightening and acoustic effects of earths atmosphere known as thunder. they occur through a cloud in the form of Cumulonimbus accompanied by strong winds and heavy rains. They pose threats to aircraft flying above as turbulence generated by a thunderstorm can cause the aircraft to violently shake. Lightning can strike a plane but generally doesn't do damage as the bolt enters the aircraft's extremities, such as the nose, tail or wingtips this can impact its landing and take off.
