What else can I help you with?
Can tornadoes come together to form a big tornado?
Yes. It is possible for tornadoes to merge and form a larger tornado, though this is a fairly rare occurrence.
How fast does it take a tornado to form?
Tornado formation can happen very quickly, often within minutes, when the right atmospheric conditions come together. However, the exact amount of time it takes for a tornado to form can vary depending on the specific conditions present in the storm.
Can a tornado and hurricane collide?
No. Hurricanes and tornadoes operate on completely different scales, so they can't exactly collide. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to form in the outer rain bands of a hurricane.
How does a tornado come out of nowhere?
A tornado's formation can be sudden and unexpected because it requires the right combination of atmospheric conditions, such as warm, moist air meeting cooler, drier air. When these conditions come together, it can create a rotating column of air that can quickly develop into a tornado. This is why tornadoes may appear to come out of nowhere.
What is the main reason tornadoes form?
When cold air and hot air mix together it forms a tornado.
Does a tornado form dangerous storm surges?
No, that would be a hurricane.
Has a tornado collided with a hurricane?
Tornadoes are smaller in scale compared to hurricanes and are typically embedded within them. So while a tornado can form within or near a hurricane, a direct collision between a tornado and a hurricane as two separate weather events is highly unlikely.
Can tornadoes come together to form a big tornado?
Yes. It is possible for tornadoes to merge and form a larger tornado, though this is a fairly rare occurrence.
What can form with little or no warning a tornado or a hurricane?
That would be a tornado. Once the process starts, a tornado can form in a matter of seconds. Hurricanes, by contrast, usually take several days to form and are easy to track.
What makes hurricane photos different than tornado photos?
You can photograph a whole tornado form a camera on the ground. To photograph a whole hurricane you need to have your camera located in space.
Has a tornado ever hit a hurricane?
While rare, it is possible for a tornado to form within a hurricane. These tornadoes, known as "tornadoes embedded in hurricanes," can be particularly dangerous due to the already intense weather conditions from the hurricane.
Can a tornado happen in a hurricane?
Yes. It is not uncommon for tornadoes to form in the outer bands of hurricanes.
Which forms over an ocean is it a tornado or a hurricane or a blizzard?
Any one of these can form over the ocean, but only a hurricane does so exclusively.
What are three differences between a hurricane and a tornado?
A hurricane is an independent storm system while a tornado is dependent on a parent storm cell.A hurricane is typically several hundred miles wide while a tornado is usually no more than a few hundred yards wide.Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water while tornadoes usually form over land.
What storm forms in midwestern U.S. tornado or hurricane?
Tornadoes form in the Midwest. Hurricanes can't form over land.
What do cool air masses do when they come in contact with warm air masses?
The cool air sinks, while the warm air rises. If it does so with enough force and torque, a tornado or hurricane will form.
What will happen if a tornado and hurricane collide?
A hurricane and a tornado can't exactly collide as they operate on entirely different scales. A hurricane is its own storm system typically several hundred miles wide while a tornado is a relatively small scale vortex usually no more than a few thousand feet wide and is dependent on a parent thunderstorm. In fact it is fairly common for the storms in the outer bands of a hurricane to produce tornadoes.
