-ACTUALLY, Thunderstorms result from the formation of cumulonimbus clouds, which are also called "thunderheads."
Thunder is a sound produced when air expands and contracts quickly. Air is instantly heated when lightning passes through it, causing the expansion. The hot molecules move outward and collide with colder molecules. A giant air wave results that produces the sound known as thunder. (:

∙ 14y agoThunder happens as a result of lightning. Because lightning is so hot, it heats the air around it to temperatures that exceed the surface of the sun. This rapid increase in temperature causes the air to expand rapidly. This rapid expansions causes pressure waves which our ears pick up as the sound of thunder.
