Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Supercell thunderstorms are characterized by a long-lasting, rotating updraft, which distinguishes them from ordinary cell thunderstorms that typically have shorter-lived, non-rotating updrafts. This rotation and longevity contribute to the supercell's potential for severe weather phenomena, such as large hail, strong winds, and tornadoes.
