Why does the bottom of a tornado go to a tip?
The funnel of a tornado is caused by condensation, due to the pressure drop and resulting temperature drop inside it. Temperature and pressure also decrease with increasing altitude, making it easier for condensation to occur and causing the funnel to be wider at the top. At the bottom, the pressure and temperature may only be low enough for condensation at the very center of the tornado.
What is difference between condensation and liquefaction?
Liquefaction is a change to a liquid from either a solid or a gas; whereas condensation is a change only from gas to liquid. Liquefaction takes place at very low temperatures(eg-Air is liquefied at -200degrees c) whereas condensation does not need such low temperatures, it occurs when water vapor changes to droplets of water on a glass of water taken out of a fridge.
What form of matter is a cloud?
clouds are actually a LIQUID because when water vapor is formed, it moves up to the sky.Then while it goes up, condensation happens.condensation is a part of the water cycle.during condensation, the water vapor which is a gas turns back to liquid.so, clouds are actually very small droplets of water.
When a warm surface hits a cold vapour does this form condensation?
Yes - the practical experience of many photographers confirms that if you take warm equipment outside into cold conditions that condensation will form on the surface of eg the lens. Interestingly, this result is not predicted by basic theory. In almost every explanation of condensation that you will find, condensation occurs when warm air is cooled by a cooler surface so that the air drops below its "dew point" and can no longer contain all of the water that it is carrying. So, the condensation from cold air on a warm surface is not expected, but is a very real actual effect. Various scenarios can be proposed to explain this apparent anomaly. So far I have not met a satisfying explanation BUT the effect is real.
What are the characteristics of tornadoes?
Tornadoes are violent, rotating windstorms that connect to the base of a thunderstorm and to the ground. They are often made visible by a condensation funnel and debris cloud. Tornadoes can be very destructive. In extreme cases winds may exceed 300 mph (480 km/h). While they are more violent than other types of storm, tornadoes are also usually smaller and shorter-lived.
What are some characteristics of tornadoes?
Characteristics of tornadoes include very strong, often destructive rotating winds which are often accompanied by a condensation funnel and a debris cloud.
You have water coming out of your tailpipe but it only happens when it is cold is that normal?
Very normal. It is condensation. Very normal. It is condensation.
What is the climate in winter spring summer and fall in Paris?
the climate in paris in the summer is mild to warm with occasional heat waves and in the winter very chilly i dont know the rest sorry!
Where is an example of where condensation occurs?
Did you ever take a cold bottle of coke out of the refrigerator on a hot summer day? Did you ever leave that same bottle of coke on the counter? What did you notice? You noticed water dropplets forming on the outside of the bottle. That is "condensation" when something cold meets something warm. If you go outside on a very cold winter day and breath...your breath comes out looking like steam...that is condensation. When you exhale on a cold window the water dropplets that form on the window - that is condensation
Why dont trees in the arctic tundra grow very tall?
spring and summer are shorter and the growing season is too short and unpredictable
Does water vapor change into water when condensation occurs?
Yep. The very definition of 'condensation' is a state change from a gas to a liquid.
Is autumn hot or cold?
That depends on where in the world you are. Autumn can often have very warm days, as warm as some summer days are.
Do Ross Lynch and Selena Gomez know each other?
Yes but they dont hang out very often
What are the summer's like in Cuba?
