What happens to air pressure when the density of air decreases?

it creates a big tornado


What are the air pressures during a tornado?

A tornado creates an area of low pressure. Pressure as much as 100 millibars lower than in the surrounding air have been recorded.


Why does a tornado cause low pressure areas?

Air in a tornado is rapidly drawn upward. This creates low pressure as more air rushes in to replace it. However this can ever completely fill the pressure deficit until the upward movement stops.


What type of air pressure do tornadoes have?

The air pressure inside a tornado is very low.


How air pressure change by the type of tornado?

If by type you mean Fujita (F) scale rating, then generally the stronger the tornado the lower the pressure.


How does air pressure changes in tornado?

The air pressure drops sharply in a tornado


Describe the pressure flow and condensation level of tornado?

A tornado creates an area of low barometric pressure. Air spirals into the tornado and then spirals upward within it. The low pressure in a tornado cools air flowing into it, causing moisture to condense into the characteristic funnel. In many cases, though not all, the condensation reaches all the way to the ground.


How does the air chase itself in a tornado?

A tornado forms from the rotating updraft of a thunderstorm. The updraft of the tornado creates low pressure that causes air to spiral inward (usually counterclockwise int he northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern) and then upward.


What is the tornado air pressure?

The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.

How does air pressure affect the environment please answer?

Air pressure affect the environment as by creating a type of force and just like liquid creates a pressure .


Is air pressure inside a tornado is lower than outside a tornado?

The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.
