Where is the potential energy present before the tornado occurs?

The energy is stored in the air as thermal energy. A supercell thunderstorm turns that into kinetic energy in the form of rotating wind. Under the right conditions that rotation can form a tornado.

Name the form of energy that is present in cellulose?
Chemical Energy
What is energy stored in an object called?
Stored energy is called Potential EnergyStored energy is called Potential energy.
Is water flowing from a waterfall before it hits the pond below kinetic or potential energy?
is water real
How does potential energy become kinetic energy during a hurricane?
That big old tree was just waiting to fall down: that's potential energy. Now those big branches are falling down fast on your head: that's kinetic energy.
Give one example of an object before and after it has gained elastic potential energy?
Elastic potential energy refers to the potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object. An example of this is a spring, which springs back before it has gained elastic potential energy. After a spring gains elastic potential energy, it will be deformed.
How do you use the word potential to make sentences?
She has a lot of potential to become what she wants to be. Potential energy is one type of energy. A tornado watch means there is potential for a tornado.
Does the activated complex have the highest kinetic energy?
No, the kinetic energy that was present before the collision will become potential energy.
What is the energy present in stored form?
Potential Energy
Energy present in stored form?
potential
What is tornado energy called?
If you mean to ask what type of energy is in a tornado it is kinetic energy, the energy of matter in motion. There is also something called CAPE, or Convective Available Potential Energy, which is the amount of energy in the air that can be used by a thunderstorm, including the ones that produce tornadoes. Aside from that there is no particular name for the energy in a tornado.
Is a tsunami stronger then a tornado?
In terms of overall energy output and destructive potential, yes.
Name the form of energy that is present in cellulose?
Chemical Energy
When can potential energy exist?
only when there is gravity present
When does a skydiver have the gratest potential energy?
I'm guessing when their at the top of a mountain when their about to start going down, sorry i couldn't give you a better answer.
What is energy stored in an object called?
Stored energy is called Potential EnergyStored energy is called Potential energy.
What type of energy is used before and after a ball is bounced?
Gravitational potential energy before the ball is bounced which changes to kinetic energy and then to elastic potential energy.
Is water flowing from a waterfall before it hits the pond below kinetic or potential energy?
is water real
