Answer: Cumulonimbus

Explanation: Cumulonimbus (from Latin cumulus, "heaped" and nimbus, "rainstorm") is a dense, towering vertical cloud, forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. These clouds are capable of producing lightning and other dangerous severe weather, such as tornadoes and hailstones.
