Flowering plants are a type of vascular plant that produces flowers in order to reproduce. Flowering plants produce seeds within a fruit. The scientific name for flowering plants is angiosperms. Flowering plants follow a specific life cycle.
Cumulonimbus clouds are the âthunderheadsâ that can be seen on a warm summer day and can bring strong winds, hail, and rain.
When they are taller than that, they are called âcumulus congestusâ. The tops of cumulus clouds often resemble cauliflowers. The towering clouds that produce showers of rain, snow and/or hail are called âcumulonimbusâ (from the Latin nimbus, meaning ârainy cloudâ). The tops of these clouds are often anvil-shaped, as shown in the picture below. Cumulus clouds are manifestations of convection.
