The primary force at work in a tornado is a pressure gradient force. Pressure inside a tornado is lower than it is outside, which causes the path of any air near it to curve toward the center of the tornado. Slight variations in that pressure can affect how a tornado behaves, which is part of what makes tornadoes so hard to predict.

What are the four categories of motions in the parliamentary procedures?

The four categories of motions in parliamentary procedures are main motions, subsidiary motions, privileged motions, and incidental motions. Main motions introduce new business or proposals for discussion. Subsidiary motions modify or affect the main motion, while privileged motions address urgent matters that require immediate attention. Incidental motions deal with procedural issues that arise during the consideration of other motions.
