What columns of warm air that are forced up as cold air sinks called?
tornado Thermals, caused by hot ground heating the air close above it. Replaced by cold air sinking from above.
Why doesn't a tornado happen when just cold air meets or hot air meets?
Because warm and cold air alone won't produce the rotation needed for a tornado. First, the warm air mass must be moist so that when the collision occurs thunderstorms form. Second, the speed and/or direction of the wind must vary with altitude in what is called wind shear. This tilts thunderstorms, separating the updraft from the downdraft and thus allowing them to become stronger last last longer. Second, the wind shear creates rolling air masses that can start the thunderstorms rotating. Under the right conditions a tornado can develop from this rotation. How exactly this happens is not fully understood.
What changes cold air to hot air?
Cold air can be changed to hot air through the process of heating. This can be achieved by passing the cold air through a heater, which raises its temperature to make it hot. The process of heating involves adding energy to the air, causing its molecules to move faster and increase in temperature.
What happens when cold air and hot air mix with each other?
Hot air and cold air dont usually collide; hot air rises while cold air sinks, thus separating the two. They occasionally may collide, though. Usually this results in some kind of precipitation, such as fog, rain, thunderstorms, etc. In the most severe cases, colliding hot and cold fronts may form into tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones, etc. This occurs because the fast moving cold air collides with the fast rising warm air. The cold air 'revolves' around the hot air, turning both into a windstorm, but the rising hot air pulls it up to form the conical tornado shape. Hope this helps!
Which is heavier hot air or cold?
Hot air. Because it always rises above cold
What does cold and hot air make?
it makes a tornado
What does Hot and cold air moving make?
When hot and cold air mix, they create convection currents. Hot air rises, displacing the cooler air, which then sinks. This movement of air creates wind and can affect weather patterns.
What does Hot and cold air moving making what?
it makes a tornado
What human activities can increase or worsen the impact of a tornado?
Humans can not effect a tornado. Only nature can make a tornado occur. The cold and hot air curl together and form the tornado.
What is the main reason tornadoes form?
When cold air and hot air mix together it forms a tornado.
What happens when rapidly falling cold air meets rapidly rising hot air?
A tornado forms
Is there radiation in space storms?
Well actually there is radiation. Because space is so cold that when the storm forms they both make radiation. Just like hot air and cold air making a tornado.
Is a tornado cold or hot air?
Tornadoes typically form in a warm air mass, as that is what provides the energy, though it is often near a boundary with a cooler or drier air mass. However, due tot he pressure drop the air in a tornado is cooler than its surroundings.
What are columns of warm air that are forced up as cold sinks are?
tornado Thermals, caused by hot ground heating the air close above it. Replaced by cold air sinking from above.
Do human beings cause tornadoes?
No. A tornado is a NATURAL disaster, not a man-made one. A tornado is caused when equal amounts of hot and cold air mix together.
Does hot or cold air make hair dry faster?
Hot air, but it can damage your hair.
What columns of warm air that are forced up as cold air sinks called?
tornado Thermals, caused by hot ground heating the air close above it. Replaced by cold air sinking from above.
