Gravity is present in a tornado, however, for objects that are not too heavy the upward flow of air in a tornado can overpower gravity. Tornadoes are dependent on convection, which requires gravity, but tornadoes themselves are a thermodynamic rather than gravitational event.
What else can I help you with?
What is the role of gravity in a tornado?
nope
What does gravity have to do with tornadoes?
Air masses of low density tend to rise because they are less strongly affected by gravity than cool air masses. Rising warm air masses is the primary cause of convection on earth. Thunderstorms are a product of convection. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms.
What is a satellite tornado?
A satellite tornado is a tornado that touches down near and usually orbits a larger tornado within the same mesocyclone.
What is a cone shaped tornado?
A cone-shaped tornado is simple a tornado whose funnel is cone-shaped. Tornado funnels may also appear rope-like, column-like, or appear wispy. The shape and size of a tornado do not necessarily indicate how strong the tornado is.
Where does a tornado descend from?
A tornado descends from the base of a thunderstorm.
What is the role of gravity in a tornado?
nope
How are a tornado and a black hole different?
The tornado is a weather phenomenon associated with moving air. It will be confined to a planet with atmosphere. The black hole is a point of massive gravity in space. The two are very different indeed.
Does the power or actions of a tornado create enough energy to defy gravity?
Only in the same sense that any other upward motion defines gravity. Tornadoes can lift things off the ground, so in such cases the tornado can apply more force than earth's gravity, but the same can be said when anything rises or is lifted, regardless of what is lifting it. Let's face it: You "defy gravity" every time you pick up a fork from the table, or walk upstairs.
Can a tornado lift a battle tank?
It is unlikely that a tornado would be able to lift a battle tank due to its weight and low center of gravity. Tornadoes are powerful, but they typically do not have enough force to lift heavy military vehicles.
What does gravity have to do with tornadoes?
Air masses of low density tend to rise because they are less strongly affected by gravity than cool air masses. Rising warm air masses is the primary cause of convection on earth. Thunderstorms are a product of convection. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms.
What is the biggest tornado ever recorded and does it obtain the same gravitational pull in the alignment of the stars?
The largest tornado on record was the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013, which was at times 2.6 miles wide. As with any other tornado, it had absolutely nothing to do with the alignment of the stars or their gravity.
Does the wind blow down or up?
The wind can blow in any direction.
How do you say tornado in Portuguese?
tornado in Portuguese is tornado too
Can you stop a tornado with another tornado?
No, it is not possible to stop a tornado with another tornado. Tornadoes are formed by specific weather conditions in the atmosphere, and introducing another tornado would not have any effect on the existing tornado.
What is a name for a tornado?
a tornado?
What is a 7 letter word for a violent storm?
Tornado.
What does spawn a tornado mean?
When a storm spawns a tornado it produce a tornado.
