What kind of storms can cause tornadoes?
Tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms, typically by supercells. Howevere squall lines and multicell storms can sometimes produce tornadoes as well.
What precipitation does a tornado cause?
Tornadoes themselves do not cause any precipitation. The storms that produce tornadoes do. These storms produce heavy rain and often produce hail, some of which can be quite large.
Do tornadoes cause deposition?
No, tornadoes do not cause deposition. Tornadoes are mainly associated with erosion, as they can pick up and carry loose particles and debris within their strong winds. Deposition usually occurs when the wind slows down and drops these materials.
Do tornadoes cause weathering erosion and deposition?
Tornadoes do not directly cause weathering, erosion, or deposition. However, tornadoes can indirectly contribute to these processes by moving and depositing sediment and debris. The strong winds and flying debris associated with tornadoes can impact geological features and accelerate the process of erosion in affected areas.
What are some negatives of cutting down trees?
it will cause soil erosion flash flood landslide
How does a Tropical Storm affect the lithosphere?
Tropical storms can cause erosion.
How do tornadoes impact non living things?
Tornadoes damage and destroy manmade structures and can cause some soil erosion.
How does a tornado affect weathering?
Tornadoes do not cause significant weathering, though they can cause localized soil erosion.
What are some other bad storms like hurricanes?
Other storms that can cause wind damage like hurricanes include tornadoes and derechos
How do tornadoes effect erosion?
Tornadoes can contribute to erosion by removing vegetation cover, disturbing soil, and transporting debris at high speeds. The strong winds associated with tornadoes can lift and carry sediments over long distances, leading to soil erosion in affected areas. Heavy rainfall accompanying tornadoes can also exacerbate erosion by washing away topsoil and causing sediment buildup in waterways.
Can a tornado cause a landslide?
No. In very rare cases tornadoes can scour away a foot or two of soil, but that is the greatest effect they have on the ground itself. It should be noted, though, that tornadoes are often accompanied by heavy rain, which can cause landslides.
What are some specific changes to Earths surface as a result of hurricanes and tornadoes?
Hurricanes can cause significant coast erosion. Flooding resulting from heavy rains can alter river channels. Tornadoes can destroy vegetation, but rarely cause significant amounts of soil erosion.
