How do tornadoes dissipate? The details are still debated by tornado scientists. We do know tornadoes need a source of instability (heat, moisture, etc.) and a larger-scale property of rotation (vorticity) to keep going. There are a lot of processes around a thunderstorm which can possibly rob the area around a tornado of either instability or vorticity. One is relatively cold outflow -- the flow of wind out of the precipitation area of a shower or thunderstorm. Many tornadoes have been observed to go away soon after being hit by outflow. For decades, storm observers have documented the death of numerous tornadoes when their parent circulations ( mesocyclones) weaken after they become wrapped in outflow air -- either from the same thunderstorm or a different one. The irony is that some kinds of thunderstorm outflow may help to cause tornadoes, while other forms of outflow may kill tornadoes.

How do tornadoes destroy land?
It is very rare for tornadoes to destroy the actual land. The most violent tornadoes can scour away the surface of the ground, but very few are that strong. The shear force of the wind is enough to tear away sections.
Do tornadoes help the soil?
No. In some cases very violent tornadoes actually damage the soil by scouring away the top layers.
Can tornadoes go downhill?
Yes. Contrary to popular belief hills do not hinder tornadoes.
Do tornadoes always go straight?
no
How do tornadoes related to weathering erosion and deposition?
Tornadoes often bring down trees, which can increase soil erosion. On rare occasions tornadoes can directly scour away the topsoil as well. Overall, tornadoes are not significant contributors to erosion and deposition.
Why do you go to the lowest levels during tornadoes?
To get away from debris.
Could trees make tornadoes go away?
No. Tornadoes, some of them very large and violent, have torn through heavily forested areas unhindered. Even weak tornadoes can snap and uproot trees. In fact one of the largest tornadoes ever recorded struck a forested area.
Do tornadoes make species go away quicker?
Generally not. Tornadoes are generally to rare and too localized to have a significant affect on species. If a species is threatened by a tornado it is likely on the verge of extinction anyway.
Where do birds go when tornadoes are approaching?
Tornadoes do often kill birds, though they can survive, especially if the tornado isn't very strong.
Do tornadoes go off the radar?
Sometimes tornadoes can evade radar detection. This most often happens if the tornado is short lived, and thus is missed as the radar beam rotates, or occurs far away from the radar. Fortunately this occurs less often with strong tornadoes.
Do tornadoes wash away beaches?
No. Hurricanes often wash away beaches but tornadoes, which are not primary a coastal phenomenon, do not cause any significant beach erosion.
How do tornadoes affect bridges?
Tornadoes have caused bridges to collapse on a number of occasions. In some cases pieces of bridges have been carried away by tornadoes.
Do tornadoes cause damage because they cause homes and buildings to cave in?
Tornadoes can cause houses and other buildings to collapse, but most are not strong enough to do that. A typical tornado can tear away parts of roofs, break windows, and topple trees. Entire roofs and walls can go airborne in stronger tornadoes. Weak structures impacted by strong tornadoes often get blown away rather than collapsing. In very violent tornadoes the same thing can happen to well constructed houses.
How do tornadoes destroy land?
It is very rare for tornadoes to destroy the actual land. The most violent tornadoes can scour away the surface of the ground, but very few are that strong. The shear force of the wind is enough to tear away sections.
Do tornadoes sweep?
In one sense, you could say they do. In the most violent tornadoes houses are said to be swept away.
Does tornadoes go away from water?
No. A tornado that meets a body of water will continue out onto it without being significantly affected, becoming a tornadic waterspout.
What Pokemon on Pokemon ranger shadows of almia to get the tornadoes away from hippowdon?
You can't get the tornadoes away from him ,but the dodou in the bottom left corner will help speed up your ride a little bit.
