No. Waterspouts are generally weaker than normal tornadoes, usually equivalent to no more than a low EF0 tornado.
Yes. A tornado on water is called a waterspout.
Yes, a waterspout can occasionally move over land if it forms over a body of water and then moves inland. As it moves over land, it is known as a tornado rather than a waterspout. Waterspouts are essentially tornadoes over water.
A waterspout is a type of tornado that forms over water, while a tornado forms over land. Waterspouts are typically weaker and shorter-lived than tornadoes, but can still pose a danger to boats and coastal areas. Tornadoes on land can be more powerful and destructive, causing damage to buildings and infrastructure.
A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water and is connected to a cumuliform cloud. In other words, a tornado on water.
None really. A waterspout occurs on water and a landspout is essentially the same thing on land. Though a smaller percentage of waterspouts are actually classic supercell tornadoes on water.
Because of the lack of heavy debris, tornadoes at sea are not generally dangerous unless they persist as they come ashore. The most common result is a waterspout, which has wind speeds somewhat lower than land tornadoes.
Generally not unless you are on a boat. Waterspouts are typically weaker than tornadoes and usually dissipate quickly if they hit land. However, they can still cause damage and capsize boats.
yes the radius of a regular polygon is always greater than the apothem
There are two ways in which waterspouts form. Some are ordinary tornadoes that just happen to be on water. These are called tornadic waterspouts See the related link below for an answer on that process, called tornadogenesis. But this type of waterspout is less common. The second type is called a fair weather waterspout as they are not typically associated with severe storms. These form when a body of water is warmer than the air above it. This causes convection, which forms clouds which, in turn, can further intensify the convection. If there is any twist to the air near the surface it can be taken up into this convection and intensify to form a vortex that connects with a cloud overhead to become a waterspout.
A tornado can pick up the water and scatter it around the landscape, but the water molecules themselves are still water. This is generally not a significant effect, though, as the water picked up rarely constitutes more than a fine spray. In some cases debris may be thrown into lakes and streams. Overall, tornadoes generally do not significantly affect water systems.
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.
