Nicole made the model shown below to represent the steps in the formation of a thunderstorm.
The diagram has six boxes. The first box on the top left has the symbol '?' in it, an arrow points from it, over to the left to a box with the text 'Meets coool air'; this box has an arrow pointing down from it to a box with the text 'Condenses'; this box has an arrow pointing to the left to a box with the text 'Clouds formed'; this box has an arrow pointing to the left to a box with the text 'Clouds grow bigger'; and this box has an arrow pointing down from it to a box with the text 'Precipitation'.
