The energy for all weather on Earth ultimately comes from the sun. The sun's energy heats the surface of the Earth, which in turn heats the air just above it. Where the sun heats the surface of the ocean, evaporation occurs, which moistens the air. Warm, moist air carries a very large amount of energy that is the power source for thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are what spawn tornadoes, but not just any thunderstorms. The thunderstorms that spawn tornado typically form along a frontal boundary. Given the right setup of wind patterns at different levels of the atmosphere, these storms can start rotating, turning into supercells. The rotation in the storms can then tighten and intensify to form tornadoes.
So, in short, the sun heating the Earth and causing evaporation provides energy that powers thunderstorms. Under the right conditions these storms can start roatating, and their energy can become focused in the form oftornadoes.
What else can I help you with?
Is the suns energy completely absorbed by the atmosphere?
No it is not.
What do you call the energy that comes from the sun?
this is known as radiant energy. the suns radiation does it
Why is 6 of the suns energy scattered or reflected into space?
why
Where do most of the suns energy fall?
The vast majority of the Sun's energy escapes into space.
Do all supercell thunderheads cause tornadoes?
No, not all supercell thunderstorms cause tornadoes. Supercell thunderstorms are known for their rotating updrafts, which can lead to the formation of tornadoes. However, tornadoes are not always produced, as a combination of atmospheric conditions and other factors are necessary for them to form.
Which is cause by the suns energy A weather B earthquakes C mountain building D volcanic eruptions?
D
What factors may have lead to the difference in the number of tornadoes in Oklahoma and Minnesota?
Oklahoma generally gets more tornadoes mostly it has a warmer climate, which means there is more energy available to power the thunderstorms that cause tornadoes.
If a suns ray fell onto an apple what energy is that?
If a suns ray hits an apple what energy would that be
How do the chloroplast get energy?
They get energy from the suns light energy baby
The suns energy is from what type of energy?
nuclear fusion energy
How do you get power from the sun?
The suns power is called Solar Energy. So to get the suns energy we use solar panels.
Is various form of energy from tornadoes?
No it does not come from tornadoes . :] .....
Do tornadoes cause air pollution?
No. Tornadoes can be very destructive, but they do not cause air pollution.
Can tornadoes do lots of flooding?
No. Tornadoes do not cause flooding.
Why do tornadoes comes in the Earth?
Tornadoes come from the energy released in a thunderstorm. As powerful as they are, tornadoes account for only a tiny fraction of the energy in a thunderstorm.
The angles of the suns rays cause the?
it cause erosion
How does plantae get their food?
they get it from the suns energy
