The air in and near a tornado generally follows a spiral path as it moves inward and upward around the tornado's center of rotation. In some tornadoes, however, it is more complicated than this as there may be smaller subvortices embedded in the main vortex. The tornado itself usually moves in a fairly straight line.
A tornado is a violently spinning vortex of wind. In other words, tornadoes twist.
Tornadoes are twisting spirals of air that can cause widespread destruction by flinging debris, knocking down buildings, and uprooting trees. They form from powerful thunderstorms and can have wind speeds exceeding 200 mph, making them incredibly dangerous natural phenomena.
In terms of wind speed, yes. Tornadoes are the only storms on earth that can produce gusts in excess of 300 mph. However, tornadoes this intense are very rare.
Ultimately, the two primary causes of tornadoes are convective instability, which leads to thunderstorms, and wind shear, which gives those storms the rotation they need to produce tornadoes.
Yes, tornadoes do touch the ground. If the don't they are not considered tornadoes. However, in order to qualify the visible funnel does not have to reach ground winds, just the vortex of wind.
A tornado is a vortex of wind. Tornadoes develop from interactions of air currents (wind) within a thunderstorm.
Tornadoes are rated based on the severity they cause, which is then used to estimate wind speed and assign a rating, ranging from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest. Tornadoes are listed in varies databases along with a number of figures such as rating, death toll, injuries, path length, path width, and cost of damage.
Tornadoes are not controlled. Tornadoes are influenced by temperature, humidity, wind, and air pressure, wind interact in complex ways.
sand dunes important in tornadoes as when the tornadoes come the high pressure wind take it to the direction where the wind is blowing
A tornado is a violent whirling wind that moves over a narrow path on land, characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud extending toward the ground. It is a destructive natural disaster capable of causing significant damage in its path. Tornadoes typically form from severe thunderstorms and can have wind speeds exceeding 200 mph.
Tornadoes...
Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that extend from a thunderstorm to the ground, with wind speeds that can exceed 300 mph. They can vary in size and intensity, causing widespread destruction in their path. Advanced warning systems and preparedness plans are crucial to minimize the potential damage and loss of life from tornadoes.
Although tornadoes can cause wind erosion, but are usually not major contributors as exposure to tornadic winds is usually brief. Tornadoes are better described as natural disasters due to their destructive impacts on developed areas.
Tornadoes typically form from severe thunderstorms and are characterized by a rotating column of air that extends from a cloud to the ground. They can have wind speeds ranging from 110 to 300 mph, with the strongest tornadoes causing significant damage to structures and vegetation in their path. Tornadoes can change direction, move erratically, and vary in size and intensity.
Tornadoes happen because there is wind on earth!
tornadoes, wind storms ect.
Tornadoes usually move southwest to northeast.
