How do you Compare and contrast a marcoburst and a microburst?
A macroburst and a microburst are similar events, but a macroburst exceeds 2.5 miles in diameter.
How do you classify a microburst?
A microburst is a huge downdraft that can happen during strong thunderstorms. Sometimes, they are confused with tornadoes because of their shape and how they touch the ground at some point. After damage is surveyed, it can be seen from an areal view how a tornado's damage track turns and all of the debris are twisted while a microburst knocks down trees and never twists anything up.

What causes a microburst?
A microburst is a powerful downdraft that descend through a thunderstorm. When they reach the ground they produce damaging winds that in some cases can reach as high as 150 mph.

A microburst produces straight-line winds while a tornado produces circular winds.
