what causes thunderstorms to occur in australia?

Question

and what are the three types of thunderstorms?

Answer 1

For a thunderstorm you need cold moist air over warm ground. The air near the ground warms up and rises. As it rises, moisture condenses out of it, releasing heat and causing it to keep rising. So thunderstorms are much more common in warm places like Australia than cold places. But the air in the centre of Australia is usually dry, so most thunderstorms in Aussie occur in the tropical north during the rainy season.

Answer 2

im not sure but the warm air carries water vaopr up. as it goes up the air is cooler. col air cannot carry water vapor the way warm air can so the gas turn into liquid water. they clump toether forming clouds. after it gets to heavy, it rains and tada!

Answer 3

idiosyncrasies of air currents in which cool currents interact with warm thermals and thus the generation of energy and thus static electricity. bam! thunderbolts! bam bam! two thunderbolts! it is so wonderful!
