Do thunderstorms create tornadoes?
Yes, tornadoes form from very strong rotating thunderstorms called supercells.
What are clouds that create thunder and lightning storms and tornadoes?
Such clouds are called cumulonimbus.
What type of front can create violent thunder storms and even tornadoes?
Cold fronts are most often associated with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, but such storms can form along warm fronts, stationary fronts, and dry lines.
What causes tornadoes for kids?
Tornadoes form when a mesocyclone, a part found in some thunderstorms where air twists and moves upward, gets squeezed into a narrower shape. This causes it to spin faster and reach toward the ground to create a tornado.
Can man cause tornadoes?
No, we can simulate tornadoes using fans but we cannot create actual tornadoes.
Do thunderstorms create tornadoes?
Yes, tornadoes form from very strong rotating thunderstorms called supercells.
What landforms create tornadoes?
Landforms do not create tornadoes. Tornadoes are a product of severe thunderstorms.
Are most tornadoes caused by firestorms?
No. Tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms. Intense fires can create vortices called firewhirls but these are not considered tornadoes.
What are clouds that create thunder and lightning storms and tornadoes?
Such clouds are called cumulonimbus.
What clouds would form rain?
Clouds that include the name "nimbus" tend to be the ones that create precipitation. Nimbostratus clouds create falling rain and snow, while cumulonimbus clouds are associated with thunderstorms.
Do Mamma Clouds create thunderstorm?
No. Thunderstorms produce mamma, not the other way around.
How does tornadoes create themselves or something else create them?
most powerful tornadoes form from supercell thunderstorms with a mesocyclone. The mesocyclone is what gives the storm it's rotation and helps form a tornado.
Why are tornadoes not common in Europe?
The climate conditions are not quite right for high frequencies of tornadoes. To form tornadoes usually need a collision of warm moist air with cooler or dried air to create thunderstorms and wind shear to make those thunderstorms into the supercells that produce most tornadoes. This setup does not occur very often in Europe.
What are some hazards water can create?
it causes thunderstorms, especially when accompanied by hail or tornadoes, can damage buildings and ruins crops
Why do tornadoes need thunderstorms to create?
In simple terms, only a thunderstorm can concentrate the energy needed to form a tornado. Most tornadoes from from a thunderstorm with a rotating updraft. Others develop from interactions between turbulence and a non-rotating updraft. Other varieties of whirlwind can develop without thunderstorms, but they are not nearly as strong as tornadoes.
Why does cool air sink and warm air push up?
When a warm front and cold front meet the cool air rises above the warm air which creates lift which causes the moist air parcels to rise into the atmosphere. Then they condense into water droplets and form clouds those clouds will then form into thunderstorms which when the water molecules get heavy enough will fall as rain and then the water molecules and air molecules bounce off each other create the lightning you get with thunderstorms and that lightning creates a sonic boom which is the thunder. So basically a warm front and cold front colliding create thunderstorms which if the atmosphere supports it can potentially produce thunderstorms that produce tornadoes.
What type of front can create violent thunder storms and even tornadoes?
Cold fronts are most often associated with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, but such storms can form along warm fronts, stationary fronts, and dry lines.
