Lesson 5 Storms Review and Reinforce
Worksheet
• 1. Tornadoes come from cumulonimbus clouds,
which are the same clouds that produce
thunderstorms.
• 2. They can conduct electricity from lightning
into your body.
• 3. A lightning bolt can heat the air near it to as
much as 30,000°C. Thunder is the sound of
the rapidly heated air expanding explosively.
• 4. Warm, moist air is what gives a hurricane
energy. Once it’s over land, it no longer has
warm moist air to draw energy from.
• 5. a storm shelter or basement
