Not really, there is a such thing as a multiple vortex tornado. These tornadoes have smaller, stronger vorticies moving around inside of the tornado. Sometimes a multivortex tornado can have the appearance of being two or more tornadoes but it still is one tornado.
Tornadoes do not split. However, a tornado can have smaller vortices, almost like smaller tornadoes, inside of it. Sometimes these are visible as multiple funnels. This is called a multiple vortex tornado.
no but it can lose strengths by the loss of strong updrafts that help maintain tornado rotation that made one reason why tornadoes parent thunderstorm weaken then the tornado weaken or dissipate but theres many ways that an tornado can dissipate by due to the its parent thunderstorm weakening
There are a few circumstance where a tornado may look like it is splitting though. First there are multivortex tornadoes which have a number of smaller, more intense suction vorticies moving around inside the main circulation. Sometimes it creates the appearance of 2 or more tornadoes but is still in fact one tornado.
There are also satellite tornadoes which circle around outside a stronger tornado, though these satellite tornadoes form next to the parent tornado rather than splitting off from them.
There is no real evidnce of tornadoes actually splitting. However, there are multiple vortex, or multivortex tornadoes. These are tornadoes with two or more smaller vortices, sort of like smaller tornadoes, moving around inside the main circulatio. These are somtimes visible as separate funnels.
It is believed that this phenonmenon occurs when a downdraft is forced down the center of a tornado, causing it to expand and then break down. This same effect has been reporduced in simulated tornadoes.
If you mean can tornadoes merge, then yes. It is rare, but it happens.
If you mean can multiple tornadoes form in one event, the answer is also yes. Such incidents are known as tornado outbreaks.
Not really, but there are is a such thing as a multiple vortex tornado.
These are tornadoes with multiple smaller vortices moving around inside with stronger winds than the rest of the tornado. Sometimes a multiple vortex tornado looks like two or more tornadoes swirling around each other, but it still is one tornado.
Some tornadoes can also produce a satellite tornado which circles the main tornado.
Yes, though somewhat unusual this phenomenon has been witnessed and caught on tape.
yes they can just like a tornado in the movie twister. if you have not seen twister it is pretty good but confusing.
When two tornadoes merge, it is just called merging; there is no special term.
When two tornadoes meet, regardless of intensity, they will merge to form one tornado.
Tornadoes can merge together, yes, and vortex physics predict that the combined tornado will be larger than either of the merging tornadoes. However, most tornado mergers involve a large tornado absorbing a small one, so the larger tornado is not affected very much.
When two tornadoes merge they form a larger tornado. There is no special term for the product of such a merger. In most cases it is not even considered a new tornado but rather a continuation of whichever of the original two tornadoes was larger.
Sometimes a hurricane can produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not produced by hurricanes.
If two tornadoes come together they merge into one tornado.
When two tornadoes merge, it is just called merging; there is no special term.
Yes. It is possible for tornadoes to merge and form a larger tornado, though this is a fairly rare occurrence.
Tornadoes can merge, though it is a rare event.
If 2 tornadoes collide they will merge into one tornado.
If two tornadoes came together they would merge to form a single, larger tornado. Such instances are rare, but they have happened. In most tornado mergers a large tornado absorbs a small one.
Yes. If two tornadoes collide they will merge to form one tornado.
When two tornadoes meet, they merge into one tornado.
They merge into 1 tornado
When two tornadoes meet, regardless of intensity, they will merge to form one tornado.
It is rare for tornado to actually merge, and when it does happen it usually involves a large tornado absorbing a smaller one. In the rare cases that tornadoes do merge they simply form one bigger tornado.
Yes. While it is a rare event, tornadoes have been known to collide, in which case they merge to form a single tornado.
