Nearly all tornadoes in Kansas rotate counterclockwise,as it is throughout the northern hemisphere.
What else can I help you with?
Why would a tornado start rotate?
Tornadoes rotate because they form from a larger mass of rotating air. In most cases this rotation comes from a mesocyclone, the rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm. The mesocyclone can tighten and intensify to produce a tornado. Some tornadoes form from a broad, weak circulation at ground level, which gets caught in a thunderstorm updraft and turned into a narrower but stronger vortex.
How would the wind blow if the earth did not rotate?
If the Earth did not rotate, the winds would flow from the poles towards the equator in a straight line due to the temperature differences between the poles and the equator. There would be no Coriolis effect to influence the direction of the wind, resulting in simpler and more predictable wind patterns.
How would the moon appear to an observer on earth if the moon did not rotate?
it would still appear to rotate
What direction do the planets rotate?
Most of the planets in our solar system rotate on their axis from west to east; i.e., counter-clockwise as seen by an observer looking down from high above the Earth's north pole. Hence an observer near the equator of the earth, for example, would see the sun rise in the east, and later set in the west. This is the same direction in which they orbit the sun. The exceptions are Venus which rotates the opposite direction, and Uranus which rotates almost "on its side" (axis tilt of about 90 degrees).
Why would updraft start to rotate?
When winds intensify, the force released can cause the updrafts to rotate
Would you be more likely to experience a tornado in kansas or Rhode Island?
Kansas. Kansas is one of the most tornado prone states while Rhode Island rarely gets them.
A storm in kansas with twisting winds would be seen as a?
A tornado
In which state would you be more likely to experience a tornado in Rhode island or Kansas?
You would be far more likely to see a tornado in Kansas. Kansas as the highest number of tornadoes per square mile of any US state.
Is all of Kansas in tornado belt?
Yes, Kansas is located in an area known as "Tornado Alley," which is a region in the central United States prone to frequent tornado activity. However, not all of Kansas falls within the Tornado Alley belt, with certain areas experiencing more tornadoes than others.
In what direction would you travel from kansas to oregen?
You would travel west from Kansas to Oregon.
Which direction will the wind blow when a tornado is near?
That varies. If you are close enough to be in the area of the tornado's inflow then the wind will blow almost directly towards the tornado, perhaps a little to the right of that direction. In that case the wind direction will depend on where the tornado is relative to you. If you are beyond the inflow area for the tornado, then nothing about the wind direction would indicate the approaching tornado.
Which direction does the moon rotate if it orbits anticlockwise?
That means that if you observe from the north, it would rotate counterclockwise - the direction opposite of the rotation of a clock's hands.
Which state would it be better experience a tornado Kansas or Rhode Island?
Depends on what you mean by "better." You are more likely to experience a tornado in Kansas, but most people would not consider that a good thing. The tornadoes in Rhode Island are not as dangerous as the ones in Kansas as they are generally weaker. So it would probably not be as bad to be hit by a Rhode Island tornado as you would be at a lower risk of injury or death.
In which state would you be more likely to experience a tornado Rhode Island or Kansas?
You would be more likely to experience a tornado in Kansas compared to Rhode Island. Kansas falls within Tornado Alley, a region known for its frequent tornado activity, while Rhode Island typically experiences fewer tornadoes due to its location farther from the typical tornado-prone areas.
What would happen if you change the movement of a tornado?
Tornadoes change direction all the time. All that happens is the tornado goes somewhere other than where it was originally headed. It is impossible for a humans to change a tornado's direction.
What if a gun went off in a tornado?
The tornado would not be affected in any way. The bullet would probably have is direction changed by violent winds of the tornado and will eventually either be embedded in something or fall out of the tornado to the ground.
What direction would you travel from Kansas to Oregon?
To travel from Kansas to Oregon you would have to travel North.
