By volume a tornado is probably more than 99% air. The rest is condensation and, in some cases, dust and debris.
No. Winds in a tornado are destructive, and the dust and condensation in the air would preventyou from seeing much.
Yes. A tornado is pretty much made of air. Although pressure inside a tornado is low it is nowhere near being a complete vacuum.
No. A tornado is a vortex of air. There is no air in space.
Air does go up in a tornado and it is cooler than surrounding air due to decompression. However, it is generally fed by warm air. If too much cold air gets into the circulation, the tornado will dissipate.
Air is continuously moving up in a tornado. This means that air surrounding the tornado must move in to replace the rising air.
The air pressure drops sharply in a tornado
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
Air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surroundings. Pressure deficits inside tornadoes have been measured as much as 194 millibars less than the surroundings.
Air flows into the tornado and forms a rapidly rotating vortex. Inside the tornado air air flows upward. The winds in the tornado are strong enough to damage or destroy structures and vegetation.
A tornado is made of air. Air moves into a tornado and spirals upward at high speed.
A tornado is primarily composed of rotating air that forms a violently swirling column extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. This rotating air can reach extremely high wind speeds and is capable of causing significant damage.
