What type of weather can be produced when warm, humid air rises quickly?

Sunshine
Blizzard
Hurricane
Hailstorm

The correct answer is: Hurricane

When warm and humid air rises quickly, it forms a low pressure system that can generate large amounts of energy. This energy is what drives a hurricane, making it the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because warm, humid air does not necessarily guarantee sunshine, as other factors can contribute to weather conditions. Option B is incorrect because a blizzard is a cold weather phenomenon and requires snow, unlike the conditions that form a hurricane. Option D is incorrect because hailstorms are typically formed by thunderstorms, which do not require warm, humid air to exist.
