The formation of tornadoes is complicated.
First, a condition called wind shear, in which the speed or direction of the wind changes with altitude. If the shear is strong enough it can essentially tilt a thunderstorm, this separates the updraft and downdraft of the thunderstorm, preventing them from interfering with one another. This allows the storm to become stronger and last longer.
Additionally, if the wind shear is strong enough it can start the air rolling in what is called horizontal vorticity. This horizontal vorticity can then be turned vertical by a thunderstorm's updraft. When this happens, the thunderstorm may start rotating. The rotation is especially strong in an updraft called a mesocyclone. If the storm intensifies rapidly enough, a relatively warm downdraft called a rear-flank downdraft or RFD can wrap around the bottom part of the mesocyclone. This can then tighten and intensify its rotation and bring it down to the ground to produce a tornado.
What else can I help you with?
What type of tornado is worse super cell or non-super cell?
Supercell tornadoes are usually worse. Nearly all F3 and stronger tornadoes form in supercells.
These systems typically form tornadoes?
Supercell thunderstorms are the types of systems that typically form tornadoes. These storms are characterized by rotating updrafts, which can lead to the development of a tornado under the right conditions.
Another name for a huge thunderstorms and tornadoes?
super cell
What cloud type can be associated with tornadoes when it develops into a super cell?
A cumulonimbus cloud.
What are spiraling columns of air during a thunderstorm called?
They are called tornadoes. Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that extend from a thunderstorm to the ground.
How big is a super cell tornado?
There is no given size. Most are fairly small (in weather terms) ranging between 50 and 200 yards wide. However occasionally these tornadoes can grow to over a mile wide with some exceeding 2 miles.
How many super cell tornadoes happened in 2011?
So far there have been 1560 tornadoes in the U.S. in 2011 (worldwide figures are not available. Since at least 90% of tornadoes are formed in supercells, that would mean there have been about 1400 supercell tornadoes in the U.S. in 2011.
Does gohan kill cell in super saiyan form?
well basically but he killed him in super saiyan 2 form
What can tornadoes come from?
Tornadoes come from thunderstorms, usually, powerful rotating storms called supercells. However, tornadoes can sometimes form with squall lines, hurricanes, and in rare cases, single cell storms.
How large are super cell thunderstorms that produce tornadoes?
A supercell may be in the range of 20 to 30 miles across. Some are larger.
What makes tornadoes and waterspouts wild?
the atmosphere makes tornadoes and waterspouts wild,because in tornadoes anything can change at any time due to measures in a super cell thunder storm either temps,dew points, winds or storm path.
Can tornadoes form?
Yes, tornadoes can form. Hundreds, even thousands of tornadoes form every year.
