Answer to Question 1

Answer: mesoscale convective system

Answer to Question 2

Answer: With diameters that range from about 20 to 50 km (12 to 30 mi), supercells are smaller than either squall lines or MCCs. On the other hand, they are usually more violent and provide the setting for most very large tornadoes. Unlike MCCs and squall lines, a supercell storm consists of a single, extremely powerful cell rather than a num-ber of individual cells. Supercell storms also undergo a large-scale rotation absent from squall lines and MCCs. The typical life span of a supercell is 2 to 4 hours. Despite their single-cell structure, supercell storms are remarkably complex, with the updraft and downdraft bending and wrapping around each other due to strong wind shear.
