Why does the air pressure go down when a tornado is near?
A tornado develops when the rotating updraft of a thunderstorm becomes focused on a smaller area. The updraft of the tornado draws air upwards, creating a center of low pressure.
Why does the wind blow into a thunderstorm?
In a thunderstorm, warm moist air rises. Air ad the ground must then move in to replace it.
How fast is the air in a severe thunderstorm?
The air is very fast. Especially in a severe thunderstorm. The wind can go as fast as 100mph.
Which type of pressure is associated with cool rising air?
low pressure. because warm air is less dense. so it's pressure is also low.( less dense because because of the heat( warm air = hot air) the molecules of the air is very active. so the the are not close to each other which means less dense)
Why are thunderstorm downdrafts cold?
Thunderstorm downdrafts are cold because the air has been cooled by rain. The cooled air then sinks as it has become denser than the surrounding air.
What is the air pressure range of a thunderstorm?
25436546
What is the air pressure of a thunderstorm?
It is 32.12 psi and 1013.2 millibars.
What is the average air pressure in a thunderstorm?
32.12 psi and 1013.2 millibars
How do you know when air is ionized?
During and right after thunderstorm
An area of low pressure and a thunderstorm develop over warm ocean waters The heat given off by the thunderstorm warms the atmosphere This warm air rises causing the air pressure to drop further?
a hurricane
What does clouds in a thunderstorm means?
Well low and high pressure air in the clouds is what's making the thunderstorm. Swirling clouds can make a tornado
Are air currents downward during the final stages in a thunderstorm?
yes
What are spiraling columns of air during a thunderstorm called?
super cell
Can air pressure decreases drastically?
When a Hurricane, Tornado or Thunderstorm, approaches, the barometric pressure falls but I would not ascribe the adjective "drastic" to this.
What sound occurs because of rapidly expanding air during a thunderstorm?
lightning
What happens if air pressure drops?
If the air pressure drops largely, there will be rain and/or a thunderstorm. If the air pressure drops not so much, it will be partly cloudy and/or breezy. If the air pressure barely drops, and stays more of a high air pressure, it will be sunny and calm. If the air pressure is about in the middle of the Anemometer, it will be partly cloudy. Also, I did not use this from any other website, this answer is from common sense (for me). Have a good day! =)
Does air possess potential energy?
Compressed air does, but not air at normal atmospheric pressure
