What causes tornadoes dry climates stationary fronts condensation or wind shears?

Condensation and wind shear are both needed for tornadoes to form. Tornadoes can form along stationary fronts as well.


Which one of the cause a tornado stationary fronts or wind shear condensation dry climates?

Condensation and wind shear are both important in tornado formation. Tornadoes develop from thunderstorms, which are powered by the energy released from condensation. Wind shear is what gives thunderstorms the rotation then need to produce tornadoes. Tornado-producing storms may form along a stationary front, but are more common along cold fronts.


Do tornadoes cause deposition?

No. Tornadoes cause erosion.


Does humidity cause tornadoes?

No. Humidity is an important factor in the formation of tornadoes but it is not a direct cause of tornadoes.


Are tornadoes visible?

Yes. Tornadoes are often made visble by condensation in their funnels and by dust and debris. However, some tornadoes may be obsured from view by rain or the dark of night.


What do most tornadoes have in them?

All tornado contain rapidly rotating winds. Most tornadoes contain a condensation funnel and a whirl of dust and/or debris.


Why is a tornado called a funnel?

Tornadoes typically produce a funnel-shaped cloud of condensation.


Do tornadoes cause air pollution?

No. Tornadoes can be very destructive, but they do not cause air pollution.


Can tornadoes do lots of flooding?

No. Tornadoes do not cause flooding.


What tornadoes cause lightning?

Tornadoes do not cause lighting. However tornadoes form during thunderstorms, so they are often accompanied by lightning.


Do tornadoes have bodys?

No. A tornado is essentially just made out of air with dust, debris, and condensation mixed in.


What are some characteristics of tornadoes?

Characteristics of tornadoes include very strong, often destructive rotating winds which are often accompanied by a condensation funnel and a debris cloud.
