What forms the shape of a tornado?
a tornado is formed by a thunderstorm
Where does a tornado descend from?
A tornado descends from the base of a thunderstorm.
Is a tornado part of a thunderstorm?
Yes. A tornado can be though of as part of a larger parent thunderstorm, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
Can a thunderstorm cause a tornado?
Yes, a severe thunderstorm can create the conditions necessary for a tornado to form. Thunderstorms with strong updrafts and rotation can produce tornadoes when other factors align, such as atmospheric instability and wind shear.
What rotating air mass is in a thunderstorm cloud?
A tornado
Does a hurricane have a larger thunderstorm than a tornado?
Hurricanes themselves are much larger than any thunderstorm or tornado.
Why don't tornadoes cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?
The air inside a tornadic thunderstorm (a storm that produces a tornado) does spin. But it is that spinning air that causes the tornado, rather than the tornado starting the air spinning.
What is the difference between weather warning and weather watch?
A tornado/thunderstorm watch means that weather conditions are good for tornado/thunderstorm. A tornado/thunderstorm warning, however, means that conditions are extreme and a thunderstorm or tornado is likely. Conditions for either storm are very good at this stage.
What forms the shape of a tornado?
a tornado is formed by a thunderstorm
Where does a tornado descend from?
A tornado descends from the base of a thunderstorm.
Which is bigger cyclones or tornadoes?
A cyclone is bigger than a tornado by far, but a tornado is usually more violent.
Is a tornado bigger than a twister?
No. A tornado and a twister are the same thing.
Is a tornado part of a thunderstorm?
Yes. A tornado can be though of as part of a larger parent thunderstorm, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
Can a tornado be caused by thunderstorm?
Yes, tornadoes can be caused by thunderstorms. Specifically, tornadoes can form within supercell thunderstorms, which are intense rotating thunderstorms that have the potential to produce tornadoes due to the combination of wind shear and instability in the atmosphere.
Does a severe thunderstorm warning occur a tornado?
Most severe thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes. If a tornado is detected or it is believed a storm might produce one a tornado warning is issued, which is more serious than a severe thunderstorm warning. A thunderstorm that produces a tornado is automatically classified as severe even if other severe weather (damaging non-tornadic wind or large hail) does not occur.
How a tornado evolves from a thunderstorm?
well the thunderstorm builds to a super cell which is a sever thunderstorm then all it needs is a rotation
What is another name for a rotating thunderstorm?
A rotating thunderstorm is also known as a supercell.
