What is a multiple vortex volcano?

There is no such thing as a mutliple vortex volcano. However, there is such a thing as a mutliple vortex tornado. A tornado itself consists of a vortex. A mutliple vortex tornado contains smaller vortices, called subvortices within the main vortex. Subvortices in a tornado are usually continuously forming and dissipating. Based on historic reports, as many as eight may be present at a time, though there are usually no more than two or three. These vortices circle the center of the tornado, moving with the tornado's rotation. As a result, the rotational speed of the tornado is actually added to the rotational speed of the subvortex. This can result in wind speeds over 100 mph faster than in the rest of the tornado. Such a difference in wind speed can result in significant varation in the severity of damage. This is one reason a tornado can destroy one house while leaving one next to it with only minor to moderate damage.

What is the difference between a multiple vortex tornado and a single vortex tornado?

A multiple vortex tornado has smaller, short-lived vortices moving around inside of it. The suction vortices have stronger winds than the rest of the tornado and are noted for cutting narrow curved swaths of intense damage. A multiple vortex tornado sometimes has the appearance of two or more tornadoes moving circles. A single vortex tornado is simply one vortex of tornadic wind.

What causes a tornadoes to spilt?

Tornadoes don't exactly split, but there are multiple vortex tornadoes. A multiple vortex tornado may appear to be composed of several smaller tornadoes but is still in fact one tornado. The process by which this happens is not fully understood, but it begins when a downdraft is forced down the center of the tornado, widening it. If the tornado has the right ratio of rotational speed to vertical speed it can develop a multiple vortex structure.


Are volcanoes vortexes?

No. In simple terms, a vortex is a body of fluid (liquid or gas) that rotates. A volcano is a vent or hole in the ground through which molten rock and hot gas may erupt. The molten rock erupted by a volcano is generally to viscous to support a vortex. Examples of natural disasters that are vortexes include tornadoes and hurricanes.

What country calls tornadoes suction vortexes?

No country does. A suction vortex is not a tornado; it is a feature that can develop in a tornado. A tornado itself is a vortex but can sometimes contain smaller vortices (vortexes) called suction vortices. Such a storm is called a multiple-vortex tornado.


What does Multiple vortex mean?

This term most likely refers to a multiple-vortex tornado. A tornado is itself a vortex that can sometimes contain two or more smaller vortices that move with the tornado's rotation. These vortices pack stronger winds than the rest of the tornado, and often result in areas within a tornado's path where damage is more severe than it is elsewhere.


Is Taal Volcano a shield volcano?

No. It is a complex volcano, with multiple features resulting from varying types of eruption.


How often does a volcano explode?

It depends, a volcano can erupt once and never erupt again. Or, a volcano can erupt multiple times a day.


Is vent a volcanoes name?

No. A vent is the part of the volcano from which material erupts. One volcano can have multiple vents.


What does A vortex have to do with an tornado?

A vortex is a spinning flow of air or liquid. In a tornado, a vortex forms when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating a rotating column of air that extends from the base of the storm cloud to the ground. This rotating vortex is what gives a tornado its destructive power.


What was it meant by multiple vortices?

When water (or any fluid) is stirred in a circular motion it will form a vortex or vortices. A vortex is a region in which the fluid flows in a circular motion around a vertical axis. Common examples are smoke rings, whirlpools - including those seen behind the oars of boats or hot drinks that have been stirred, water going down a plughole. Often the fluid forms more than one vortex - these are multiple vortices.
