Wind shear can cause a formation of what?
wind shear causes the formation of a tornado if you have a strong thunderstorm.
What is a change in speed and direction of the wind at different altitudes in the same column of air?
wind shear
What is wind shear?
A wind shear is basically the wind speed and direction over a short distance. There are vertical and horizontal components to a wind shear.
Do hurricanes form over warm oceans in tropical areas where there is high wind shear?
No. Hurricanes form over warm oceans in tropical areas when there is little to no wind shear. Strong wind shear will prevent a hurricane form organizing.
Which type of fault is the result of shear?
Strike slip faults are formed as a result of shear stresses. However strictly speaking all faults are in a shear stress state as there is usually movement in differing directions along both sides of the fault however in the other cases, compressive or tensile stresses are the cause of the initial fault formation.
Wind shear can cause a formation of what?
wind shear causes the formation of a tornado if you have a strong thunderstorm.
Is wind shear the cause of a tornado?
Not directly, but it is a very important component in tornado formation.
Can fluctuation of wind cause a tornado?
Not directly. But changes in wind speed and direction in altitude, called wind shear, plays an important role in tornado formation.

How does the amount of wind affect hurricane formation-?
Wind shear is one of the most critical factors in controlling or even destroying hurricane formation, the more wind, the more powerful the hurricane. Conversely, if the wind is blowing in the opposite direction of the hurricane, it can slow it down or destroy it.
What is created in a severe thunderstorm when wind in the upper part of a cloud blows in a different direction than wind in the lower part of the cloud?
This is directional wind shear. It contributes to the formation of, ultimately, tornadoes.
What creates a wind shear?
Wind shear is when wind speed and direction are different over a short period of time. Shear can be vertical or horizontal.
Which one of the cause a tornado stationary fronts or wind shear condensation dry climates?
Condensation and wind shear are both important in tornado formation. Tornadoes develop from thunderstorms, which are powered by the energy released from condensation. Wind shear is what gives thunderstorms the rotation then need to produce tornadoes. Tornado-producing storms may form along a stationary front, but are more common along cold fronts.
What has the author Gaston Beaulieu written?
Gaston Beaulieu has written: 'The effects of wind shear on aircraft flight path and methods for remote sensing and reporting of wind shear at airports' -- subject(s): Flight paths, Wind shear
