Quran’s scientific miracle in revealing the presence of “Cumulonimbus clouds”
By: Mohamad massarweh
"Do you not see that Allah drives clouds? Then He brings them together, then He makes them into a mass, and you see the rain emerge from within it. And He sends down from the sky, mountains [of clouds] within which is hail, and He strikes with it whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The flash of its lightening almost takes away the eyesight" 24:43
Stormy winds drive cotton-like clouds known as "Cumulus clouds" stacking and heaping them to form giant dense towering vertical clouds named " Cumulonimbus clouds" (Do you not see that Allah drives clouds? Then He brings them together, then He makes them into a mass). Well-developed cumulonimbus clouds are characterized by a flat, anvil-like top, caused by wind shear . The clouds' top may precede the main clouds' vertical component for many miles, and be accompanied by lightning. "Cumulus clouds" are formed at altitude from 200 to 4,000 m . typically their peaks reach to as much as 12,000 m Occasionally, rising air parcels surpass the equilibrium level (due to momentum) and form an
Rising air currents carrying water vapour get into these clouds where temperatures are 15-25 c below zero. Isnside the clouds there are powerful upward and down ward air currents that condense wate vapour to become tiny droplets and hail, the cloud's is electrically charged , rising praticles of snow and water collide with downward currents of heavy hail. Consequently ,clouds upper portion is positevly charged while the mid and low parts are negative charged. Thus hail paticles grow bigger as they circulate within the core till they become too heavy and released out as hail storm
