What is the difference between a funnel cloud and tornado?
A tornado has actually touched down on the ground - a funnel cloud is a spinning cloud that has not actually touched the ground.
What are violent storms with very strong winds and a funnel shaped clouds called?
um... I think its a tornado ;)
Area of higher pressure with winds that spiral outward?
When an area of low pressure is created with strong winds that spiral towards the center, a tropical cyclone is being formed. The spiral arrangement of thunderstorms produces heavy rain.
Winds spiral out from areas of?
High pressure areas
What Are Extreme Winds?
Very Very High Winds. Very Strong Winds Very Very High Winds. Very Strong Winds
Winds in a tornado rotate in or out?
Winds in a tornado spiral inward and upward.
How strong can the winds in a tornado funnel reach?
On rare occasions winds in a tornado can get to a little over 300mph.
Why do winds spiral towards the center of the hurricane?
Winds move toward the center of a hurricane because of the low pressure generated by the upward motion of the air inside it.

Why do tornadoes have a spiral shape?
Tornadoes take on a spiral shape because the winds in them spin and move upward. This is because tornadoes originate from the rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm. The updraft gets this rotation from wind shear.
Area of higher pressure with winds that spiral outward?
When an area of low pressure is created with strong winds that spiral towards the center, a tropical cyclone is being formed. The spiral arrangement of thunderstorms produces heavy rain.
What does the coriolis effect do to winds in the northern hemisphere?
In the Northern Hemisphere winds spiral to the right; while in the southern hemisphere winds spiral to the left.
Muture stage of a thunderstorm produce?
The mature stage produces heavy precipitation or hail, strong gusty winds, lightning, and possibly tornados or funnel clouds.
What are some characteristics of tornadoes?
Characteristics of tornadoes include very strong, often destructive rotating winds which are often accompanied by a condensation funnel and a debris 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.
How close to a tornado do you have to be to get picked off the ground?
It depends on the tornado. In a weak tornado even the winds inside the funnel may not be enough to lift a person off the ground, though it would still be difficult to stand. For a large, violent tornado you might be a few hundred yards away from the funnel. Note that if you are in a position where the winds are that strong you are already inside the damage path. Even if winds are not strong enough to pick you up, you may still be knocked down or struck by debris.
