What factor determines the classification of a thunderstorm stage?
the wind speed of the storm
How fast can wind in a thunderstorm go?
the AVERAGE speed of a thunderstorm is 30-35 mph. But some tend to go overboard and go 60 mph
What wind speed does a thunderstorm reach?
Many thunderstorms produce very little wind, and wind speeds in most thunderstorms do not exceed 40 mild per hour. In rare cases, though, thunderstorms may produce winds to well over 100 milers per hour.
Where does the force from a tornado come from?
The power of a tornado comes from the thunderstorm that produces it. A thunderstorm is powered by the energy that water vapor releases when it condenses. Differences in wind speed and direction wind altitude, a condition called wind shear, sets these storms rotating. This rotation can then tighten and intensify to form a tornado.
What is the difference between thunderstorm and wind?
Wind is the movement of air. A thunderstorm is a rain shower that produces thunder and lightning.
What are the names of the 5 levels of hurricanes and what is the wind speed of each stage?
thunderstorm, tropical disturbance, tropical depression, tropical storm, and hurricane
Recipe for a thunderstorm?
Atmospheric instability + Wind Shear + Humidity + Air Lifting = Thunderstorm
What does active thunderstorm mean?
An active thunderstorm means that there is currently a thunderstorm in an area indicated. There is probably thunder, lightning, wind, and rain occurring when a thunderstorm is active.
Why does a severe thunderstorm have a tilted updraft in the mature stage?
The tilted updraft is due to wind shear; a difference in the speed and direction of wind with altitude. The tilting of the updraft in a severe thunderstorm separates the updraft and downdraft, which prevents rain-cooled air from choking off the updraft. As a result the storm can become stronger.
How big is the wind in a thunderstorm?
It varies greatly. Some thunderstorms produce very little wind, while in rage cases, a thunderstorm can produce wind gusts to well over 100 mph.
What storms has the highest wind speed--A Mid-latitude cyclonic storm B-Tornado C- Hurricane D- Thunderstorm?
Of these, a tornado produces the fastest winds.
What is the speed of a thunderstorm?
3 miles
