Sample FAA Knowledge Exam Question
What clouds have the greatest turbulence?
a. Cumulonimbus
b. Towering Cumulus
c. Nimbostratus
Answer: A. Although towering cumulus clouds are indications of great turbulence, the greatest turbulence is created by cumulonimbus clouds. Thunderstorms are produced from the development of cumulonimbus clouds through stages. The first stage is the cumulus stage, characterized by continuous updrafts. The second stage is the mature stage. It is the stage that separates the cumulonimbus cloud from the towering cumulonimbus. During the mature stage, rain begins to fall. The rain falling down through the cloud pulls the air downward, causing wind shear. Thus, the mature stage is the most violent stage. The third stage is the dissipating stage, characterized by most down drafts.
