Does a thunderstorm strike a car does a thunderstorm strike on one place how long does a thunderstorm strike?
A thunderstorm does not strike anything, it is "lightening" that does that.
What forms a thunderstorm?
The cumulus stage, in which the thunderstorm develops, the mature stage, in which the thunderstorm is most intense, and the dissipating stage, in which the thunderstorm declines and ends.
What stages form a thunderstorm?
The cumulus stage, in which the thunderstorm develops, the mature stage, in which the thunderstorm is most intense, and the dissipating stage, in which the thunderstorm declines and ends.
What does a thunderstorm symbolize?
thunderstorm symbolize anything that is in a shock
Is a thunderstorm a geological activity?
No. A thunderstorm is a weather event.
Is a tornado part of a thunderstorm?
Yes. A tornado can be though of as part of a larger parent thunderstorm, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
How far from a storm can lightning strike?
Within 10 miles of the parent thunderstorm
Where does the fuel of the tornadoes come from?
The fuel of a tornado is the warm, moist air that powers its parent thunderstorm.
Can tornadoes be seen from a satellite?
yes, Generally not. If vied from space a tornado is blocked from view by its parent thunderstorm.
How does a tornado make dusk?
It is often dark during a tornado not because of the tornado itself, but becasue of the parent thunderstorm. The thunderstorm consists of a very tall cumulonimbus cloud, which blocks out most sunlight.
What causes the movement of a tornado?
A tornado moves with its parent thunderstorm. The storm itself is carried by the winds in the environment it forms in.
How do tornadoes gain force and get bigger?
Tornadoes strengthen as the mesocyclone, or rotating updraft that powers them, intensifies with the parent thunderstorm. The factors governing the strength of an individual thunderstorm are complicated and not fully understood. This is doubly true of tornadoes.
How do tornadoes move around?
A tornado generally travels with its parent thunderstorm. The storm itself is carried along by large scale wind currents.
Do tornadoes change the Earth's atmosphere?
The updraft of a tornado may help somewhat in stabilizing the atmopshere, but the parent thunderstorm normally would do that anyway.
How do tornadoes disappear?
What causes tornadoes to dissipate is not fully understood, but it is believed that cold thunderstorm outflow undercuts the parent circulation (mesocyclone) that drives the tornado, cutting of the warm air that drives the thunderstorm, causing it to weaken to the point that it can no longer sustain a tornado.

How far from the heavy rain of a thunderstorm can lightning strike?
Lightning can strike up to 30 miles from the parent storm cell, though such cases are rare.
