You cannot see the air itself, but you can see things that are in the air. The funnel itself is condensation. It consists of tiny droplets of water just like an ordinary cloud. Air entering tornado undergoes a rapid pressure drop which in turn causes a temperature drop. Since the air flowing into a tornado is usually moist, this causes the moisture to condense.
Tornadoes can also lift significant amounts of soil and occasionally larger debris into the air, forming a debris cloud which can sometimes engulf the funnel.
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.
tornado
The tornado itself is a whirling circular mass of air. Condensation of water droplets at the tornado's core forms the funnel.
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%.
The air pressure inside a tornado is very low.
It's not that you see the actually air inside a tornado, but you actually see the debris, dust, and other objects that it picks up along the way. Sometimes, however, you see the tornado because of the moist air that's inside of it, which lets you be able to see it, kind of like a visible cloud.
A tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Because wind is invisible, it is hard to see a tornado .
A tornado made of air is a tornado. Part of the definition of a tornado is "a violently rotating column of air."
No. A tornado is a vortex of air. There is no air in space.
Thunderstorms are likely to occur when warm, moist air and cold, dry air collide. In the United States, this occurs in Tornado Alley, there is a link attached so you can see were Tornado Alley is.
Air is continuously moving up in a tornado. This means that air surrounding the tornado must move in to replace the rising air.
No. By definition a tornado is made of air and there is no air in space.
The air pressure drops sharply in a tornado
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
A tornado is made of air. Air moves into a tornado and spirals upward at high speed.
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.
Air flows into the tornado and forms a rapidly rotating vortex. Inside the tornado air air flows upward. The winds in the tornado are strong enough to damage or destroy structures and vegetation.
