It forms a funnel cloud.
What else can I help you with?
Does a tornado come from a cumulonibus cloud?
Yes. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms, which from from cumulonimbus cloud. Usually a wall cloud and then a funnel cloud develop at the base of a cumulonimbus cloud before a tornado touches down.
What do you call a destructive vortex of rotating winds with a funnel shaped cloud appearance?
That is called a tornado. It is a rapidly rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud.
What are cumulonimbus tornadoes?
There is no such thing as a cumulonimbus tornado. A cumulonimbus cloud is a ver large towering cloud. Most thunderstorms are cumulonimbus clouds, and some of the strongest of these storms are what produce tornadoes.
What is the difference between a cumulus cloud and a cumulonimbus cloud?
A cumulus cloud is a fluffy, white cloud that usually indicates fair weather, while a cumulonimbus cloud is a larger, towering cloud that can bring thunderstorms and severe weather.
What is the name of the cloud that produces thunderstorms?
The type of cloud that produces thunderstorms is called a cumulonimbus cloud. These clouds are large, towering clouds that can reach high altitudes and are associated with heavy rainfall, thunder, lightning, and sometimes hail.
What happens when the spinning of air moves to the bottom of the cumulonimbus cloud?
It forms a funnel cloud.
What has a funnel and is at the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud?
A tornado has a funnel and is at the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud. If its winds do not reach the ground, though it is just a funnel cloud.
What often happens after you spot a cumulonimbus cloud?
The cloud starts turning clockwise then turns into a funnel
Which of these is a narrow funnel of air extending down from a cumulonimbus cloud?
A tornado is a narrow funnel of air that extends down from a cumulonimbus cloud, usually associated with severe thunderstorms.
When a funnel cloud pokes through the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud and makes contact with the ground what does it form?
When a funnel cloud touches the ground, it forms a tornado. Tornadoes are rapidly rotating columns of air that extend from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud to the ground. They can cause significant damage due to their strong winds and intense rotation.
What is a narrow funnel of air extending down from a cumulonimbus cloud?
a tornado :) 100%
What storm forms when funnel clouds poke through the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud and makes contact with the ground?
Such a storm is called a tornado.
What clouds are there in a tornado?
The funnel of a tornado itself is a called a funnel cloud, though this term is usually reserved for when it does not touch the ground. The funnel cloud often emerges from a low-hanging cloud called a wall cloud, which is attatched to the base of a cumulonimbus cloud.
Is a cirrus cloud a funnel cloud?
No. A cirrus cloud is a high, wavy, thin cloud formed of ice crystals. Funnel clouds are usually formed from cumulonimbus clouds (thunderclouds) at lower altitudes.
Which clouds develop tornadoes?
Tornadoes form in thunderstorms, which are composed of cumulonimbus clouds. Usually a tornado will form from a wall cloud that develops are the based of the cumulonimbus cloud, and will develop from a funnel cloud that comes out of the wall cloud.
Sighns of a tornado?
A wall cloud is suspended from a cumulonimbus cloud (mostly during thunderstorms). Then the wall cloud begins rotating counter-clockwise. Then a funnel cloud will drop from it.
What makes a funnel cloud?
A funnel cloud forms when the vortex of a developing tornado draws in moist air. As the air enters the vortex it undergoes a pressure drop, which in turn produce a temperature drop. This causes the moisture to condense and form a funnel cloud.
