How can severe thunderstorms cause damage?
Thunderstorms are dangerous storms that include lightning and can: Include powerful winds over 50 MPH; Create hail; and. Cause flash flooding and tornadoes
Do hurricanes produce from severe thunderstorms?
Hurricanes do not form from individual severe thunderstorms. Instead, they develop over warm ocean waters and require specific atmospheric conditions, like low wind shear and high humidity, to form and strengthen into a tropical cyclone. Severe thunderstorms can be a component of a hurricane, producing intense rainfall, strong winds, and tornadoes within the storm system.
What is a powerful storm formed over the equator with winds greater than 75mph?
Violent thunderstorms form over the equator with winds as high as 100 MPH. Hurricanes are defined in part as having winds of 74 mph or greater, but while they are tropical, they cannot form over the equator.
What is the characteristics between of thunderstorms tornadoes hurricanes?
Thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes are all types of storm generally driven by warm moist air. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and some thunderstorms rotate and produce damaging winds. Tornadoes themselves are the product of rotating thunderstorms. Both hurricanes and thunderstorms can produce heavy rain.
What is a group of thunderstorms over warm ocean waters?
A group of thunderstorms over warm ocean waters is known as a tropical disturbance. These disturbances can develop into tropical cyclones under certain conditions, forming hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones depending on their location.
A group of thunderstorms over warm ocean waters are called?
Groups of thunderstorms forming over warm ocean waters are referred to as tropical cyclones, or tropical depressions. Cyclones fall into different categories depending on their severity.
How fast are the winds of a tornado thunderstorm and tropical depression?
Wind speeds in tornadoes and thunderstorms vary widely. EF0 tornado winds officially begin at 65 mph, but tornadoes have been rated with winds estimated as low as 55 mph. At the other end, the most violent tornadoes may produce winds over 300 mph. There is no particular winds speed for a thunderstorm. Some produce no more than a breeze. A thunderstorm is classified as severe if it produces a gust to 58 mph or more. Aside from tornadoes, thunderstorms have produced winds to over 130 mph in rare cases. A tropical depression is defined as a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of less than 39 mph.
How big can thunderstorms get?
Thunderstorms can reach a height of 65,000 feet or more. However, meteorologists do not measure thunderstorms by height alone, but by intensity. This is most often determined by the storm being strong enough to inflict wind or hail damage.
Why do thunderstorms produce damaging winds?
The primary cause of damaging winds in a thunderstorm is something called a downburst. This occurs when a mass of air within a thunderstorm cools and starts to fall. It hits the ground at great speed and spreads out horizontally, producing damaging winds that in some cases can be well over 100 mph.
What would NOT be associated with stable atmospheric conditions?
Turbulent winds and rapidly changing temperatures would not be associated with stable atmospheric conditions. Stable conditions typically involve calm winds and consistent temperatures over a period of time.
Do tornadoes form in a cyclone?
No, tornadoes typically form in severe thunderstorms, not cyclones. Cyclones are large rotating weather systems that develop over warm ocean waters and can bring strong winds and rain, but tornadoes are more commonly associated with severe thunderstorms in a different type of weather system.
