Air is continuously moving up in a tornado. This means that air surrounding the tornado must move in to replace the rising air.
The tornado sucked the car right up into the air. The vortex below those rapids sucked my canoe right out from under me!
A vortex is a spinning flow of air or liquid. In a tornado, a vortex forms when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating a rotating column of air that extends from the base of the storm cloud to the ground. This rotating vortex is what gives a tornado its destructive power.
No. A tornado is a vortex of air. There is no air in space.
A vortex is a spinning or rotating movement in a liquid or gas. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air and thus is a type of vortex.
There is no such thing as an actual tornado underwater, as a tornado is, by definition, a vortex of air. However, a vortex underwater is called a whirlpool.
Yes, every tornado has a vortex, which is the rapidly rotating column of air that extends from the base of the storm clouds to the ground. This vortex is what causes the destructive winds associated with tornadoes.
A tornado has low pressure at its center and a powerful updraft. As a result air rapidly rushes inward and upward, sometimes carrying things with it.
Tornadoes cannot form in space. A tornado is a vortex of air. There is no air in space.
Air in and near a tornado spirals inward and upward very rapidly. The strong winds can pick up objects to carry with them.

No. A whirlpool is simply a vortex in water. A tornado is a very specific kind of vortex that by definition take place in air.
maelstrom (whirlpool), though it should be noted that this should be called an underwater vortex as, by definition, a tornado is a vortex of air.
