The great wind speed of a tornado is driven by a pressure gradient force. The pressure inside a tornado is lower than in its surroundings, so air is drawn inwards. The larger the difference in pressure over a given distance, the greater the pressure difference. Tornadoes produce a very large drop in pressure over a very short distance.
Tornadoes generally move with the thunderstorms that produce them, which are in turn carried along by the large scale wind pattern.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of force does a tornado have which keeps it to have that funnel shaped wind?
The wind in a tornado moves in a circular fashion as it is pulled inward by the pressure gradient force resulting from the low pressure at the center of the tornado.
What happens as a tornado moves?
A tornado moves with its parent thunderstorm. As the tornado moves air flows into it and accelerates to great speeds. Objects caught in the path may be damaged or destroyed.
What type of motion does a tornado causes a tornado?
It's caused by wind going in circular motion.
A violent whirlwind in which the wind moves upward in a funnel is called?
Such a violent whirlwind is called a tornado.
What moves faster hurricane or a tornado?
Tornadoes usually move faster. The average tornado moves at 30-35 mph while the average hurricane moves at about 20 mph.
Is a tornado a force?
A tornado is often described as a "force of nature" but in physics it is not a distinct force. Several forces are in operation in and around a tornado.
What is an adverb that describes how a tornado moves?
Rapidly.
What is a coastal tornado?
A coastal tornado is a tornado that strikes a coastal area. If the tornado moves over water at any point it is called a waterspout for that time.
Have you ever witnessed the destructive force of a cow tornado"?
No, I have never witnessed the destructive force of a cow tornado.
What kind of force that the tornado have like centripetal force centrifugal force?
Hi, Well the force is centripetal force during a body is initially attacked by the tornado,when the body started swinging in the tornado from the surface of the earth,the time when body covers some distance from downward to upward is the time when centrifugal force is applied.... That means tornado have both the centripetal force and centrifugal force..... Thanks you!
Why does a tornado move up instead of down?
Air in a tornado moves up because the tornado forms in the updraft portion of a thunderstorm.
Why do things get sucked up into a tornado?
Objects get sucked up into a tornado due to the low pressure at the center of the vortex, which creates a strong upward suction force. This force can lift and carry debris, dust, and even larger objects into the funnel cloud.
