Is a strong storm that has a wind tunnel a tornado?
No. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air the is in contact with both the ground and the cloud base. Violent winds alone do not make a tornado. A wind tunnel effect simply occurs when buildings or terrain funnel the wind to increase its speed.
What would you use to measure wind?
An 'anemometer' measures speed of windAn 'anemometer' measures speed of wind
How fast does wind have to travel to be a tornado?
The definition of a tornado is based more on the behavior of the wind than on its wind speed. A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air that connects to the ground and the cloud base. If a wind event does not meet these criteria, then it is not a tornado, regardless of the wind speed. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, tornadic winds are generally considered to start at 65 mph, but tornadoes have been rated with estimated winds as low as 55 mph. It is rare to obtain actual wind speed measurements from inside a tornado, so most of the time winds are estimated based on the damage caused.
How does the speed of wind affect sediment?
The higher the wind speed, the bigger the particle size.
What is the difference between an anemometer and a wind vane?
Anemometers measure wind speed, wind vanes tell the direction from which the wind is coming.A wind vane measures the direction of the wind.An anemometer measures the speed of the wind.A wind vane tells you which direction the wind is blowing, the anemometer tells you the speed.
What clouds are associated with thundering and lightning?
cumulonimbus cloud
What does a cumulonimbus cloud produce?
A cumulonimbus cloud produces rain.
What forms from a cumulonimbus cloud called a wall cloud?
First. A wall cloud is not a cumulonimbus clouds, but is a smaller cloud that extends from the base of a cumulonimbus. Tornadoes often form from wall clouds.
What causes a cumulonimbus cloud?
What causes a cumulonimbus cloud is the cold and warm fronts that colided.
Where does the cumulonimbus cloud form from the side view of a tornadic thunderstorm?
The entire thunderstorm is a cumulonimbus cloud.
What kind of cloud are thunderstorm cloud?
cumulonimbus
What are cumulonimbus tornadoes?
There is no such thing as a cumulonimbus tornado. A cumulonimbus cloud is a ver large towering cloud. Most thunderstorms are cumulonimbus clouds, and some of the strongest of these storms are what produce tornadoes.
What does cumulonimbus clouds produce?
A cumulonimbus cloud produces rain.
What produced cumulonimbus clouds?
A cumulonimbus cloud produces rain.
Clouds that have vertical development and produce precipitation are called cumulonimbus?
Yes. Cumulonimbus is a dense vertical cloud associated with thunderstorms and severe weather, such as wind gusts, hail, and occasional tornadoes.
What kind of weather does cumulonimbus cloud bring?
the weather that cumulonimbus brings is thunderstorms
What is the name of the cloud that produces thunderstorms?
Cumulonimbus clouds - scientific name for thunderheads (the clouds that produce thunderstorms)
