Do tornadoes produce huge waves or storm surges?
No, tornadoes do not produce waves or storm surges. Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that typically occur over land and do not form over bodies of water like oceans or seas where waves or storm surges are generated.
Do super-cells form a tornado?
Yes. A supercell is the type of storm most likely to produce a tornado.
What type of storm is it if it produces enough energy to form a tornado?
In most cases the type of storm is a supercell..
What part of the storm does a tornado form in?
A tornado usually forms from a mesocyclone, which occurs in the updraft or rear portion of some thunderstorms.
What is a reason a tornado is a severe storm?
A tornado is a form of severe weather because it develops during a thunderstorm and is capable of producing substantial damage.
Why are hurricanes dangerous to coastal areas?
Hurricanes form over water and loose power when they reach land. That means that coastal areas will receive the worst winds. The biggest danger from a hurricane is usually what they call storm surges where the low pressure of the storm raises sea levels and the large waves can then move inland and destroy buildings.
How do tornadoes stop if they form on land?
How tornadoes stop is not fully understood, though it has more do do with the mechanics of the storm that produces the tornado rather than what surface with form on. The best explanation so far is that cold air from the rainy portion of either the tornado's parent storm or a nearby storm undercuts the updraft that sustains the tornado. This chokes of the supply of warm air that feeds the storm tot he point that it can no longer support a tornado.
Is a tornado caused by a thunder storm?
Yes, a tornado is typically formed within a thunderstorm. A tornado forms from a rotating updraft within a severe thunderstorm that creates a funnel cloud extending from the base of the storm to the ground.
What storm forms in midwestern U.S. tornado or hurricane?
Tornadoes form in the Midwest. Hurricanes can't form over land.
What are some similarities between tornado's and hurricanes?
All are potentially dangerous types of storm that can produce strong winds and derive their energy from warm, moist air. It should be noted that tornadoes need thunderstorms in order to form.
What storm has very fast winds that form a funnel- shaped cloud?
A tornado is a storm that has very fast winds that form a funnel-shaped cloud. Tornadoes are characterized by rotating columns of air that extend from a thunderstorm to the ground, causing extreme damage in their path. It is important to take cover and seek shelter when a tornado warning is issued to stay safe.
Is a tornado's a storm?
tornadoes are part of a giant thunderstorm called a supercell. they form in the mesocyclone which is also part of the supercell.
