Air near a tornado is drawn inward ins a spiral, speeding up as it does so. As it enters the tornado it turns upward and circles the center of the vortex. In some tornadoes the inflowing air does not reach ten center and instead there is an area of descending air not unlike the eye of a hurricane. In tornadoes such as these, smaller vortices can form and move with the wind of the main vortex.
What else can I help you with?
What hemisphere does a tornado flow on?
Tornadoes happen in both hemispheres.
Who invented the tornado tube?
The tornado tube was invented by Steve Spangler, a science educator and entrepreneur. He created the tornado tube to demonstrate vortex formation and flow patterns in a simple and engaging way.
What would be the general flow of a tornado moving southwest to northeast?
That is the general direction that most tornadoes move in. The air in a tornado spirals inwards towards the center and upward.
Does a tornado have gravity?
Gravity is present in a tornado, however, for objects that are not too heavy the upward flow of air in a tornado can overpower gravity. Tornadoes are dependent on convection, which requires gravity, but tornadoes themselves are a thermodynamic rather than gravitational event.
What does A vortex have to do with an tornado?
A vortex is a spinning flow of air or liquid. In a tornado, a vortex forms when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating a rotating column of air that extends from the base of the storm cloud to the ground. This rotating vortex is what gives a tornado its destructive power.
Can a tornado form in a valley?
Yes, tornadoes can form in valleys under the right conditions. Valleys can channel and intensify wind flow, which can enhance the development of a tornado. The topography of a valley can also create areas of low pressure that contribute to tornado formation.
Describe the pressure flow and condensation level of tornado?
A tornado creates an area of low barometric pressure. Air spirals into the tornado and then spirals upward within it. The low pressure in a tornado cools air flowing into it, causing moisture to condense into the characteristic funnel. In many cases, though not all, the condensation reaches all the way to the ground.
What way does the tornado wind blow?
The winds in a tornado spin, so the wind itself can come from any direction. Except for rare cases, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
When doing the tornado in a bottle experiment does air flow from the bottom to the top?
Yes. Air moves into the top bottle to replace the volume of water that has flowed into the bottom.
How do you say tornado in Portuguese?
tornado in Portuguese is tornado too
Can you stop a tornado with another tornado?
No, it is not possible to stop a tornado with another tornado. Tornadoes are formed by specific weather conditions in the atmosphere, and introducing another tornado would not have any effect on the existing tornado.
What is a name for a tornado?
a tornado?
