How does a tornado ends?

How a tornado ends is not fully understood. It is thought, however, that cold air coming out of a thunderstorm (called outflow) undercuts the mesocyclone, the rotating updraft that drives the tornado. This chokes off the supply of warm air that feeds the updraft.


Why do tornadoes look like spaghetti?

It is rather unusual for a tornado to look like spaghetti. If a tornado does take on such an appearance it most likely means the tornado is dissipating or "roping out." It is believed that this occurs when cold air chokes of the warm air that feeds the mesocyclone, the rotating updraft that drives the tornado. When this happens the tornado begins to shrink and weaken. Winds within the parent storm can somtimes cause a tornado at this stage to bend into unusual shapes.


When does a tornado loose it's strength?

How do tornadoes stop if they form on land?

How tornadoes stop is not fully understood, though it has more do do with the mechanics of the storm that produces the tornado rather than what surface with form on. The best explanation so far is that cold air from the rainy portion of either the tornado's parent storm or a nearby storm undercuts the updraft that sustains the tornado. This chokes of the supply of warm air that feeds the storm tot he point that it can no longer support a tornado.
