What else can I help you with?
Does a tornado or a hurricane have the steepest pressure gradient?
Definitely a tornado. A hurricane produces a large pressure drop over a distance of hundreds of miles. A tornado produces a similar, possibly larger pressure drop over only a few hundred feet.
Which would likely have the greatest range of pressure between a hurricane and tornado?
A hurricane would likely have a greater range of pressure than a tornado. Hurricanes are much larger and more intense weather systems, with lower central pressures compared to the smaller and less intense tornadoes. The pressure gradient in a hurricane can vary significantly across its wide expanse, resulting in a greater overall range of pressure compared to tornadoes.
Is hurricane and tornado in a bottle the same thing?
If you mean a hurricane in a bottle then yes, a hurricane in a bottle and a tornado in a bottle are the same thing. In shape, however, the vortex bears more resemblance to a tornado than a hurricane.
Are hurricanes and tornadoes both spinning storms that start over water?
No. While they are both spinning storms, tornadoes, unlike hurricanes, can and frequently do form over land.
What is several hundred miles in diameter a tornado or a hurricane?
A hurricane. A tornado is usually no more than a quarter of a mile wide.
Which has a faster air pressure fall between a hurricane or tornado?
A tornado produces a greater pressure drop over a shorter distance than a hurricane.
What is similar about the air pressure in a hurricane and a tornado?
Both produce intense low pressure.
Does a tornado or a hurricane have the steepest pressure gradient?
Definitely a tornado. A hurricane produces a large pressure drop over a distance of hundreds of miles. A tornado produces a similar, possibly larger pressure drop over only a few hundred feet.
Is a hurricane a water tornado?
No, a hurricane is not a tornado over water. A tornado and a hurricane are quite different. A hurricane is a large-scale self-sustaining storm pressure system, typically hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm rarely over a mile wide. A tornado on water is called a waterspout.
What kind of air pressure is in a tornado and hurricane?
Tornadoes and hurricanes both produce low pressure.
Which would likely have the greatest range of pressure between a hurricane and tornado?
A hurricane would likely have a greater range of pressure than a tornado. Hurricanes are much larger and more intense weather systems, with lower central pressures compared to the smaller and less intense tornadoes. The pressure gradient in a hurricane can vary significantly across its wide expanse, resulting in a greater overall range of pressure compared to tornadoes.
Is hurricane and tornado in a bottle the same thing?
If you mean a hurricane in a bottle then yes, a hurricane in a bottle and a tornado in a bottle are the same thing. In shape, however, the vortex bears more resemblance to a tornado than a hurricane.
How is the center of a tornado similar to the center of a hurricane?
The barometric pressure at a tornado is very low, just like in a hurricane. It is also believed that many tornadoes have a relatively calm center where ari descends. This is similar to the eye of a hurricane.
How can hurricane chris become the deadliest tornado?
It can't. A hurricane can't become a tornado.
What kind of pressure system usually comes before a thunderstorm tornado or hurricane?
Storms of all kinds are generally associated with low pressure.
Does a hurricane or a tornado have the lowest pressure?
Some of the lowest atmospheric pressures ever recorded at ground level or sea level were recorded in tornadoes and hurricanes. The lowest sea level pressure recorded at any United States-certified observing station was 892 millibars (26.34"), recorded at Matecumbe Key, Florida on September 2, 1935 in the "Labor Day Hurricane". The world record goes to Typhoon Tip when, on August of 1979, it recorded a central pressure of 870 millibars (25.69").It is not known how low pressure in a tornado can get because very few measurements have been actually taken from inside a tornado.The lowest pressure recorded in a tornado was approximately 688 millibars in Tulia, Texas on April 21, 2007.However, this was not a sea level measurement and would likely have been higher if the tornado had occurred at sea level.
Can a hurricane be shaped as a tornado?
No, a hurricane is a huge storm hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is tiny by comparison.
