Tornadoes come from the energy released in a thunderstorm. As powerful as they are, tornadoes account for only a tiny fraction of the energy in a thunderstorm.
The energy that powers tornadoes ultimately comes from the sun. The sun heats the earth's surface which in turn heats the lower atmosphere. This heat can lead to thunderstorms, which, under the right conditions, can produce tornadoes.
Tornadoes demonstrate that Earth's atmosphere can hold quite a bit of energy.
Outside of tornadoes the strongest winds on earth occur in hurricanes.
Yes!
Tornadoes happen because there is wind on earth!
No, Canada comes in second for tornadoes.
Tornadoes can cause catastrophic damage to vegetation and man-made structures.
Like all weather events on earth, tornadoes take place within and as a part of earth's atmosphere. They are produced by thunderstorms, which are driven by thermodynamic instability in earth's atmosphere.
No. While most tornadoes rotate in a direction that matches earth's (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern), a small percentage go against this. The origin of the spin in tornadoes is not directly related to earth's rotation. Most tornadoes also move in an easterly direction, but not always.
thay are different because lava comes out a volcano and tornadoes have winds and rain and it twists
Tornadoes can be dangerous to both people and structures on Earth due to their destructive winds and flying debris. However, tornadoes are a natural part of the Earth's weather systems and play a role in redistributing heat and moisture in the atmosphere.
While tornadoes can be destructive, they play a role in nature by helping to maintain the balance of Earth's atmosphere. They can also bring valuable research opportunities for meteorologists to better understand severe weather patterns.
