The appears to be asking about multiple vortex tornadoes. The process of how a tornado becomes multiple vortex is called vortex breakdown. Thi occurs when the wind in a tornado is spinning so fast that it cannot reach the center. The low pressure instead draws air down the middle. This causes the tornado to expand. When the downward moving air reaches the ground it spreads out. Complex interactions between this outward moving air and air flowing into the tornado leads to the formation of smaller vortices within the tornado.

What characteristic of a supercell would contribute to tornado formation?

The rotation within a supercell, caused by wind shear, is a key characteristic that can contribute to tornado formation. The updraft in a supercell can tilt this rotating column of air into a vertical position, leading to funnel cloud development and potentially a tornado.


What would the formation of a tornado be?

The formation of a tornado is called tornadogenesis.


Is rain part of the tornado's formation?

Yes it is. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, and a downdraft caused by rain is one of the things needed to produce the tornado.


What is the most destructive elements of Joplin?

The Joplin tornado of 2011 was a Multiple-vortex tornado. Inside the main circulation were smaller vortices that packed stronger winds than the rest of the tornado. These subvortices are what caused the most severe damage.


What are most injuries caused by in a tornado?

Most injuries in a tornado are caused by flying debris.


What cloud is associated with tornado formation?

Cumulonimbus


In intro to earth the formation of a tornado would be examined in this discipline?

Since a tornado is a severe weather event, the formation of one would be studied in meteorology.


Where was the last large tornado in the US?

As of November 9, 2012 the last large tornado to hit the U.S. occurred northwest of the town of Newton, Mississippi. The tornado was rated EF3 and got up to half a mile wide.


Can there be two tornadoes beside each other?

Yes, it is possible for multiple tornadoes to form side by side during the same weather event. This phenomenon, known as a tornado family or tornado outbreak, can occur when multiple supercell thunderstorms develop in close proximity with conditions conducive for tornado formation. Each tornado within a tornado family is usually spawned by a different storm cell.

How can a double tornado stay on ground?

A "double tornado" is scientifically known as a multiple vortex or multivortex tornado. In such tornadoes smaller vortices form within the main vortex of the tornado. These subvortices usually do not last long and individually do not impact the overall tornado very much. Rather than indicating a lack of organization in the tornado, a multivortex structure usually indicates a strong tornado.
