A current of air which is moving upwards - generally because it is warmer than the air above it.
A large mass of air moving upwards - sometimes quite quickly.
Often associated with thunderstorms ... which will have both up & down drafts.
a strong upward air current
A warm column of rising air in a cloud A+
strong means physically powerful.
Janset
weapon system should be strong. speed should be very good. fuel system should be strong and big.
composite material which mean a combination of material.
Because the gases formed by combustion are lighter than air, so creating an updraft
rain
Usually a tornado will have a strong updraft at its center, but some tornadoes sometimes have a gentle downdraft at the center instead while the powerful updraft is limited to the area surrounding it. This is analogous to the eye and eyewall of a hurricane.
Yes. A strong updraft means a strong thunderstorm in general.
Tornadoes and hail are both a product of severe thunderstorms. The most powerful thunderstorms on Earth are supercells, which are characterized by strong, rotating updraft. These thunderstorms are the ones most capable of producing significant hail and tornadoes. The strong updraft keeps hailstones in the air as they form, while the rotation in the updraft is what leads to the formation of tornadoes.
A supercell is a kind of thunderstorm cell. A thunderstorm cell consists of a convective unit with its own updraft and downdraft. A supercell is the most powerful type of storm cell with a strong, rotating updraft and distinct updraft and downdraft regions.
Air travels upward rapidly in a tornado. Some tornadoes have a downdraft in their core but it isn't as strong as the updraft.
A hailstorm is a thunderstorm that produces hail, a form of hard, frozen precipitation. A supercell is the most powerful class of thunderstorm on Earth, characterized by a strong, rotating updraft. Because of the strong updraft, supercells are the most likely kind of storm to produce damaging hail.
Hail does not depend on a tornado. Hail forms in thunderstorms with strong updrafts and turbulence. Many of these storms are not even capable of producing tornadoes as they have a strong enough updraft, but not enough rotation for tornadoes.
Hail forms in the strong updraft of a severe thunderstorm, which keeps the hailstones airborne as they form. Tornadoes require a specific type of severe thunderstorm called a supercell. The tornado itself forms from a strong, rotating updraft which can also generate hail.
Hail is formed when ice particles are carried up and down within the updraft of a strong thunderstorm. The pieces of ice pass between air that is above and below freezing multiple times. With each cycle a new layer of ice is added. The stronger the updraft the larger the hail can get before falling. Note the the storm simply needs to have as strong, turbulent updraft to produce hail and does not have to be tornadic.
It is when heated air rises quickly.
No. All thunderstorms require an updraft, but that updraft does not need to rotate. A supercell is not a rotating updraft, but rather a particular kind of thunderstorm with a rotating updraft.
