What are two characteristics of a thunderstorm that lead to hail formation?
First water droplets exist in the liquid state in the parts cumulonimbus cloud.second is strong updrafts and downdrafts exist side by side with in a cloud
What are the factors that lead to hurricane formation?
Hurricanes develop when a cluster of thunderstorms moves over warm ocean water with plenty of warm, moist air.
What can thunderstorms in the desert cause?
Thunderstorms can cause sand or dust storms. They can also lead to flash flooding.
How many thunderstorms lead to tornadoes?
About 1% of thunderstorms produce tornadoes. That translates to about 1,000 tornadic storms each year.
Do low pressure areas lead to thunderstorms?
Low pressure systems often produce thunderstorms if the atmosphere is unstable enough.
How can thunderstorms lead to both flooding and fire?
Thunderstorms are often followed by rain. So you have the lightning in the thunder that can start fires, and the rain that can cause flooding.
Is this true or false areas of low pressure usually lead to thunderstorms?
true
Why do tornadoes show up during hurricanes?
Hurricanes are enormous convective systems that produce thunderstorms. Because of friction, low-level wind speeds in a hurricane are slower than those in the higher levels. Such a condition is called wind shear. In some cases, this can cause some of the thunderstorms in the storm bands of a hurricane to start rotating. This rotation can then lead to the formation of tornadoes.
What type of weather conditions are dangerous in a tornado?
Tornadoes form during severe thunderstorms. Therefore they are usually accompanied by lightning and by heavy rain which can lead to flash floods, reduced visibility, and a risk of hydroplaning. These storms can also produce damaging non-tornadic winds and large hail.
What do thunderstorms tornadoes and hurricanes affect?
Hurricanes, thunderstorms, and tornadoes can all cause damage to vegetation and man made structure through their winds. Hurricanes and thunderstorms both produce rain, which can sometimes lead to flooding. It should be noted that hurricanes produce thunderstorms and thunderstorms, including those found in hurricanes, are what produce tornadoes.
Can blizzards and avalanches occur at the same time?
Not in the same place. Tornadoes and hail often occur together and may be accompanied by flooding, but blizzards require much colder conditions that cannot lead to the formation of tornadoes and hail. It is, however, possible for the same storm system to produce tornadoes in one region and blizzard conditions in another.
How does other extreme weather get in tornadoes?
Other forms of extreme wather do not occur in tornadoes, but they do often occur during the same weather events. Tornadoes form during very powerful thunderstorms with strong updrafts. The strong updrafts may lead to the formation of large hail. The moisture in these thunderstorms can also lead to masses of rain-cooled air, which rapidly sinks, creating powerful gusts of wind when they reach the ground, which can sometimes rival the intensity of a moderate tornado. The storms that produce tornadoes can also produce torrential rain, whic can lead to flash flooding.
