When an area of low pressure air is surrounded by high pressure air what is it called?
it is a tornado
What type of pressure system is a tornado?
A tornado produces low pressure, but it is not a pressure system in and of itself.
What is the center pressure of a tornado?
A tornado's central pressure is lower than the surroundings. In a strong tornado it may be 50 to 100 millibars lower. The actual pressure will, of course, depend on what the pressure of the surroundings are, which can vary with elevation and the tornado's parent storm system.
Why does a tornado cause low pressure areas?
Air in a tornado is rapidly drawn upward. This creates low pressure as more air rushes in to replace it. However this can ever completely fill the pressure deficit until the upward movement stops.
The pressure ina hurricane and in a tornado?
Both a hurricane and a tornado have centers of intense low pressure.
Is the center of a tornado characterized by low or high pressure?
A tornado produces very low pressure.
When is an area of low pressure is surrounded by high pressure is called?
it is a tornado
Does high atmospheric pressure usually accompanies a tornado?
No, tornadoes are accompanied by low pressure.
When an area of low pressure air is surrounded by high pressure air what is it called?
it is a tornado

it is a tornado
When an area of low pressure air is surrounded by high pressure air it called?
it is a tornado
When an area of low pressure air is surround by high pressure air it is called?
it is a tornado
When an area of low pressure air is surrounded by high-pressure air it is called?
it is a tornado
Does a tornado have very low pressure?
Yes, very low, that is why the winds are so high.
Are tornadoes associated with high or low pressure?
Tornadoes and other forms of severe or stormy weather are associated with low pressure.
How high can air pressure reach in a tornado?
A tornado actually produces low pressure rather than high pressure. The greatest pressure drop recorded in a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%. However, this was recorded from a probe at the edge of the tornado, and even then, there have been stronger tornadoes than that one.
What will happen when a high pressure area is much cooler than a low pressure area is next to it?
Tornado
