What else can I help you with?
Does thunderstorms form with dry air or moist air?
Thunderstorms require moist air to form. That is where the rain comes from.
Storms that form within large cumulonimbus clouds and produce rain and lightning are called?
thunderstorms
Can the rain from a tornado form massive floods?
Tornadoes do not produce rain, but the thunderstorms that spawn them do. This rain can indeed cause flooding.
When and where thunderstorms typically form?
Typically they form in rain forest usually during spring or summer.
Does a tornado have rain?
Tornadoes form during strong thunderstorms, so they are usually accompanied by heavy rain, but they do not produce rain themselves. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorm while others are embedded in rain.
Why does it rain when there's a tornado?
Tornadoes are produced by very strong thunderstorms. Thunderstorms typically produce rain.
Is rain part of the tornado's formation?
Yes it is. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, and a downdraft caused by rain is one of the things needed to produce the tornado.
Does it have to rain during a tornado?
No. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorms. Some tornadoes form with low-precipitation supercells, which produce little or no rain.
What are thunderstorms and what conditions are needed for one to form?
Thunderstorms are severe weather events characterized by heavy rain, thunder, lightning, and strong winds. They form when warm, moist air rises rapidly in an unstable atmosphere, creating updrafts and cumulonimbus clouds. Additional factors like atmospheric instability, moisture, and a trigger (such as a front or a disturbance) are needed for thunderstorms to develop.
How do thunderstorms form on Earth?
Thunderstorms form when warm, moist air rises rapidly into the atmosphere, cools and condenses to form cumulonimbus clouds. As the clouds continue to grow, they can develop into thunderstorms with lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and sometimes hail. The instability in the atmosphere and the presence of a lifting mechanism, such as a cold front or sea breeze, help to trigger the formation of thunderstorms.
Can cirrus and stratus cloud make a thunderstorm or a tornado?
No. Status clouds can bring rain but not thunderstorms and certainly not tornadoes. Cirrus clouds are sometimes torn away from thunderstorms, but they do not cause them. Tornadoes and the thunderstorms that produce them are associate with cumulonimbus clouds.
Do all tornadoes have to have rain?
No. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorms. Some tornadoes form with low-precipitation supercells, which produce little or no rain.
