Tornadoes have nothing to do with protecting Earth from the solar wind. Convection currents in Earth's core create a magnetic field that protects against the solar wind.
Landforms do not create tornadoes. Tornadoes are a product of severe thunderstorms.
Tornadoes do not create anything; they only destroy.
Yes, some strong tornadoes create brief satellite tornadoes that circle the main funnel.
Not real tornado. Scientists have produces small vortices in labs that resemble tornadoes, and have simulated tornadoes in supercomputers, but they cannot create real tornadoes.
Tornadoes produce low pressure.
No. Storms and hurricanes can create tornados.
Tornadoes swirl because the storms that produce them rotate. Vertical wind shear is a condition in which there is a difference in wind speed and direction at different altitudes. If there is the right setup of wind shear, it can create horizontally rolling air currents. These currents can then be turned vertical by a thunderstorm updraft, inducing rotation within the storm. Under the right conditions, a portion of this rotation can tighten and intensify, producing a tornado.
Tornadoes occur when strong updrafts and wind shear create a rotating column of air within a thunderstorm. These rotating columns can then touch the ground and cause the characteristic funnel cloud associated with tornadoes. Tornadoes are most common in the central United States, known as Tornado Alley, but can occur in many regions around the world.
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
No. Tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms. Intense fires can create vortices called firewhirls but these are not considered tornadoes.
The devil did not create tornadoes. Tornadoes form from complex interactions in the atmosphere, not any supernatural entity.
Yes, thunderstorms are a common environment for tornado formation. Tornadoes can form when warm, moist air rises rapidly within a thunderstorm, creating a rotating updraft. If the conditions are right, this rotation can intensify and touch the ground as a tornado.
