Thunderstorms can happen if the air near the Earth's surface is warm and moist and the atmosphere is unstable
No. Tornadoes are produce by thunderstorms and are an entirely atmospheric phenomenon. Earthquakes have no influence on storms whatsoever.
About 1% of thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
Not directly. Condensation can trigger thunderstorm. If these thunderstorms are strong enough and encounter the right conditions then they can produce tornadoes.
Thunderstorms and the tornadoes the produce are associated with cumulonimbus clouds.
Thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes are all types of storm generally driven by warm moist air. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and some thunderstorms rotate and produce damaging winds. Tornadoes themselves are the product of rotating thunderstorms. Both hurricanes and thunderstorms can produce heavy rain.
No. Tornadoes are produce by thunderstorms and are an entirely atmospheric phenomenon. Earthquakes have no influence on storms whatsoever.
About 1% of thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
Tornadoes are most often associate with cold fronts. This is because a cold front can produce convection that leads to strong thunderstorms. Under the right conditions these thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.
No. Only about 1% of thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
Thunderstorms form when a cold front hits a warm front, and the resulting effect creates thunderstorms (Big, dark clouds that produce thunder, lightning, rain, hail, and tornados O.o)
Hot, humid air contains a huge amount of energy. Such conditions often indicate instability,which can lead to thunderstorms powered by this thermal energy. Given a few other conditions these thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.
Less than 1% of thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
No, thunderstorms produce downbursts.
Not necessarily. A collision of warm and cold air will often produce thunderstorms, but other conditions are needed for those storms to produce tornadoes. Additionally, tornadoes can form from thunderstorms produced by other circumstances.
Not directly. Condensation can trigger thunderstorm. If these thunderstorms are strong enough and encounter the right conditions then they can produce tornadoes.
Lightning, flash floods, tornadoes, and damaging straight-line winds.
About 1% of thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
