Does a tornado have hail?
Tornadoes are often but not always accompanied by hail. However, the hail is not a result of the tornado itself but the storm that produces the tornado.
What storm produces energy to form a tornado?
Most tornadoes are produced by and get their energy from thunderstorms called supercells. However, no storm actually creates energy; that would violate the laws of physics. The storms get their energy from warm, moist air that has been heated by the sun.
What characeristics does a storm have to have to be categoreized as a tornado?
To be considered a tornado, a storm mustRotateProduce ground level winds strong enough to cause damageBe in contact with both the ground, and the cloud base of a parent storm
What is a parent thunderstorm?
A parent thunderstorm is the main thunderstorm that develops and produces other storms, such as supercell thunderstorms, within its vicinity. It provides the energy and dynamics needed for these smaller storms to form and intensify.
When a storm turns into a tornado what type of cloud does it become?
When a storm develops into a tornado, it is typically associated with a type of cloud called a supercell. Supercells are large, rotating thunderstorms that have the potential to spawn tornadoes due to the strong updrafts and wind shear within the storm.
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.
How many countries have tornados destroyed?
None. A tornado is fairly small compared to other types of storm. While a large enough tornado could destroye a town, not tornado is large enough to destroy a country.
What is a tornado warned storm?
A tornado warned storm is a thunderstorm for which a tornado warning has been issued, meaning that the storm is producing rotation that can spawn a tornado.
What type of storm has the greatest energy hurricane or tornado?
Overall a hurricane has much more energy. Mostly because a hurricane is hundreds of times larger than a tornado.
How is a storm and a tornado similar?
A tornado is a type of storm. A storm is characterized by strong winds, heavy or dangerous precipitation, thunder and lightning, or some combination of those. A tornado produces the fastest winds of any storm on earth.
What does a tornado produce?
A tornado produces strong winds that spiral around a center of low pressure, causing immense damage by lifting and displacing debris in its path. It can also generate lightning and hail within the storm system.
What do you call a severe thunderstorm where a tornado begins?
In most cases the storm the produces a tornado is called a supercell, though in some cases tornadoes can develop in other types of thunderstorm.
