A tornado becomes a tornado when the circulation reaches the ground.
When two tornadoes combine, it is known as a tornado outbreak. The resulting tornado can become larger, stronger, and more destructive as it merges with the energy and circulation of the other tornado. The combined tornado can create a wider path of destruction and pose an increased threat to affected areas.
A tornado and a twister are actually the same weather phenomenon; both terms are used interchangeably to refer to a violent rotating column of air. The damage caused by a tornado or twister can be extensive and devastating due to its strong winds, which can result in destruction of buildings, uprooting of trees, and displacement of debris.
A tornado is a very intense vortex of air. Air spirals in towards the low pressure at the center of the tornado and is then drawn upwards. Most tornadoes form from a larger vortex called a mesocyclone, which is part of the updraft of some thunderstorms. At some point this vortex tightens and intensifies to form a tornado.
The pressure inside a tornado is low compared to its surroundings, though exactly how low pressure can get in a tornado is unknown as few measurements have been taken, but it is generally accepted that the lower the pressure in a tornado, the stronger it is. Wind in a tornado moves in a circular fashion very rapidly, so the tornado is actually a type of powerful vortex. On rare occasions these winds can exceed 200 or even 300 mph (320 or 480 km/h). In addition winds in a tornado move upward very quickly at speeds similar to those of the rotation. Air near the tornado spirals inward
An F-0 tornado is the weakest on the Fujita scale, with wind speeds of 40-72 mph. While it may cause some damage to trees and buildings, the destruction is generally minimal compared to stronger tornadoes.
It can't. A hurricane can't become a tornado.
Tornadoes cannot collapse in on themselves. In many cases a tornado will become much narrower as it enters its dissipating stage, and is said to be "roping out." During this stage the winds in the tornado may actually speed up as angular momentum is conserved. It is still considered a tornado until it dissipates completely.
Yes. There actually was a tornado in Edmonton about 20 years ago.
Fairly poorly. Although a simulator can create a smaller, non-violent vortex that resembles a tornado it cannot mimic the larger-scale dynamics that actually drive a real tornado.
Twister and tornado are two words for the exact same thing. A tornado is considered such when the violent winds reach the ground.
A tornado cannot actually be made of water. A tornado can occur on water and suck water into it, but it will still be mostly made of air.
If there is a tornado watch what you have to remember is that it does not mean there is an imminent threat of tornadoes. Even when you area is under a tornado watch, your chances of actually having a tornado are still quite small.
An infamous tornado is one that is know for being particularly devastating. A number of tornadoes have become infamous, including the Tri-State tornado of 1925, the Wichita Falls tornado of 1979, and the Oklahoma City tornado of 1999.
It is inevitable that Orlando will eventually have a tornado, as it is in a tornado prone area. However we won't know when the next one will be until it actually happens.
The only cloud you will actually find inside a tornado is the condensation funnel. Other clouds, such as the wall cloud and cumulonimbus are outside the tornado itself.
Actually it is called tornado alley. It is the wide strip in the Midwest of the US where tornadoes are most likely to form.
The tornado move is actually in the first game, not the second. And in order to get the tornado move, you have to keep upgrading Aang's offensive moves every time your experience levels up until you get to the Tornado
