What is the name for a small storm that forms when a thunderstorm meets high-altitude horizontal winds?
A small storm that forms when a thunderstorm meets high-altitude horizontal winds is called a microburst. It is a localized column of sinking air within a thunderstorm, which can produce strong winds at the surface.

How does a tornado start and end?
There are aspects of both that are not fully understood. For formation: First, a condition called wind shear, in which the speed or direction of the wind changes with altitude. If the shear is strong enough it can essentially tilt a thunderstorm, this separates the updraft and downdraft of the thunderstorm, preventing them from interfering with one another. This allows the storm to become stronger and last longer. Additionally, if the wind shear is strong enough it can start the air rolling in what is called horizontal vorticity. This horizontal vorticity can then be turned vertical by a thunderstorm's updraft. When this happens, the thunderstorm may start rotating. The rotation is especially strong in an updraft called a mesocyclone. If the storm intensifies rapidly enough, a relatively warm downdraft called a rear-flank downdraft or RFD can wrap around the bottom part of the mesocyclone. This can then tighten and intensify its rotation and bring it down to the ground to produce a tornado. For how tornadoes end, it is thought 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 the updraft feeds the updraft.

What are facts about the fourth station of the cross?
the fourth station of the cross is the point given when Jesus carring the patibule of the cross ( wich is the horizontal part that forms the cross shape) meets his sorrowfull mother face to face.
Why does a twister form?
A twister, or tornado, forms when warm, moist air near the ground meets cooler, drier air above it. This creates instability in the atmosphere, leading to a rotating column of air that descends from a thunderstorm cloud. When this rotating column touches the ground, it becomes a tornado.
What is at zero degrees altitude?
At zero degrees altitude, you would be at ground level or sea level. This position marks the horizon line where the sky meets the Earth.
What geometric term describes the place where the ceiling meets a wall?
An edge. A horizontal edge, to be more precise.
