cumulonimbus clouds (clouds, earth features, ... Associated Concepts (hierarchy name))

 

Note: The thunderstorm clouds; a heavy and dense cloud in the form of a mountain or huge tower. The upper portion is usually smoothed, fibrous or striated and nearly always flattened in the shape of an anvil or vast plume. Under the base of this cloud which is often very dark, there are often low ragged clouds that may or may not merge with the base. They produce precipitation, which sometimes is in the form of virga.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Donderwolken; zware, dichte wolken in de vorm van een berg of een enorme toren. Het bovenste deel is doorgaans glad, vezelig of gestreept en bijna altijd afgevlakt, in de vorm van een aambeeld of een enorme pluim. Onder de basis, die vaak zeer donker is, komen veelal lage, onregelmatige wolken voor, die soms met de basis samensmelten. Deze wolken produceren neerslag, soms in de vorm van virga.
