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'.

Answer:

The correct answer is - warms, moist air rises.

Step-by-step explanation:

When moist warm air rises and meets with the surface of cool air the more dense air that is cold air end up below the warm moist air in the troposphere it condenses as it rises.

The condensation of the warm, moist water leads to the formation of cloud formation. This cloud gets bigger and bigger until it precipitates and rain fall occurs.
