Tornadoes are produced by strong, rotating thunderstorms called supercells.
Tornadoes can happen anywhere - they're usually formed from severe thunderstorms.
Tornadoes are formed during powerful thunderstorms, which are usually preceded by hot, humid weather and followed by milder conditions.
Tornadoes themselves cannot be seen from space because they are blocked from above by the thunderstorms that produce them. The link below shows a storm satellite of a storm system that was producing tornadoes at the time the picture was taken. The tornadoes themselves formed under the storms that are seen as the right-hand branch of the spiral-shaped system. Again, what you are seeing is the storm that produced the tornadoes, not the tornadoes themselves. At this resolution individual tornadoes would be too small to see anyway.
An in correct and, unfortunately, commonly cited explanation of how tornadoes form is along the lines of "hot and cold air mix together ans swirl." While a collision of warm and cold air often plays a role in tornado formation, it is not a direct cause of tornadoes.
There were no tornadoes reported anywhere in the United States on April 3, 2003. Several tornadoes were confirmed in Texas, Illinois, and Ohio on April 4.
Yes, in fact tornadoes can only be formed by thunderstorms.
Yes.
how do tornadoes stop ? how are tornadoes formed? These are good example questions.
Not directly, but the systems that produce tornadoes do have low barometric pressure.
Tornadoes can happen anywhere - they're usually formed from severe thunderstorms.
Yes. Tornadoes formed over water are called waterspouts.
Yes. It is farily common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes. However, a hurricane will rarely produce tornadoes stronger than EF2.
Many hurricanes have produced tornadoes, it is a fairly common ocurrence. Most hurricanes that have hit the United States in recent years have produced tornadoes.
yes you need to watch out for tornadoes especially when they are formed from a dark cloud. they are not trustworthy!!
Usually tornadoes are found in the southwest quadrant of the thunderstorm, which is the updraft portion, usually at the back of the storm.
Tornadoes are formed during powerful thunderstorms, which are usually preceded by hot, humid weather and followed by milder conditions.
Tornadoes and tsunamis are two very different types of weather events. Tornadoes form when two air masses collide. Tsunamis are caused by movement along the ocean floor.
