What happens to a tornado when it goes over water?

A tornado can weaken or dissipate when it moves over water due to the absence of a stable surface to generate and maintain its circulation. The disruption of the tornado's warm, moist air supply by the cooler water can also contribute to its weakening.


What is an Hypothesis for tornado in a bottle?

Does the tornado move faster or slower near the center? If I place beads in the water tornado then I will see them move faster near the vortex because the tornado has faster moving water near the center.


Is an F9 tornado real?

An F9 tornado is not a real classification on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which is used to rate tornado intensity based on the damage they cause. The EF scale ranges from EF0 to EF5, with EF5 being the most intense. Therefore, an F9 tornado is a fictional or mistaken term that does not exist in meteorological science.


When the sun heats the earths water what happens to this water vapor?

When the sun heats the Earth's water, it evaporates and turns into water vapor. Water vapor rises into the atmosphere where it can eventually condense to form clouds and then fall back to Earth as precipitation. This process is known as the water cycle.


What are the five stages of a tornado in order at which stage is the tornado most destructive?

The five stages a tornado goes through are: The dust whirl stage, when the circulation first touches the ground The organizing stage, in which the tornado grows and intensifies The mature stage. when the tornado is at its largest and typically strongest The shrinking stage in which the tornado begins to lose strength The rope out stage in which the vortex decays and finally dissipates, often twisting and bending as it does so. Of these stages the mature stage is usually the most destructive.

How do people survive when a tornado happens?

People are more likely to survive by taking adequate shelter in the basement or cellar of a sturdy building or in a specially designed tornado shelter. Beyond that survival is often a matter of chance of where the worst of the tornado hits or where a particular piece of debris goes.
