What else can I help you with?
What is the density inside a tornado?
Air density inside a tornado is about 5-10% less than that of the air surrounding it.
Does a tornado cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
Why don't tornadoes cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?
The air inside a tornadic thunderstorm (a storm that produces a tornado) does spin. But it is that spinning air that causes the tornado, rather than the tornado starting the air spinning.
Is air pressure inside a tornado is lower than outside a tornado?
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.
What is in the center of a tornado that is very low?
The air pressure inside a tornado is very low.
Do tornadoes have air inside them?
Yes. A tornado is pretty much made of air. Although pressure inside a tornado is low it is nowhere near being a complete vacuum.
What occurs during a tornado?
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.
Can you breath in a tornado?
Yes,a tornado has air inside even though the pressure is lower.
Can The eye of the tornado have oxygen in it?
Yes, the eye of a tornado typically contains air from the surrounding environment, which includes oxygen. The winds inside the tornado can be less turbulent in the eye, allowing for the presence of oxygen in that part of the storm.
Air pressure inside the funnel cloud of a tornado is extremely what?
The air pressure inside the funnel cloud of a tornado is extremely low. The pressure can be significantly lower than the surrounding air, which contributes to the destructive nature of tornadoes as it can cause buildings to implode and objects to be lifted and thrown.
Does the air pressure change inside the tornado?
Yes the pressure drops as the tornado forms and progresses. The tornado's lowest pressure is in the center.
Is it cold inside a tornado or warm?
The air inside a tornado is cooler than its surroundings. This is not due to the wind or the fact that it comes from the sky, but from the fact that the pressure in a tornado is low. As air enters a tornado it is decompressed rapidly, and cools as a consequence. This is predicted by gas laws. In many cases the temperature inside a tornado is less than the dew point, which is why the funnel forms.
