The center of a tornado is often referred to at its eye, though a true eye only forms in tropical cyclones (e.g. hurricanes). If such an eye-like structure is detected it is called the weak echo region.
the center of a tornado is called the eye.
Like a hurricane, the middle of the tornado is called the Eye.
The center of a tornado.
The winds in a tornado are actually fastest at the edge of the funnel. Withing that radius the tornado rotates as if it were a solid object, so wind is not as strong at the center as you might expect. The pressure at the center, however, is quite low. In some tornadoes a downdraft descends though the center in a process called vortex breakdown.
Oh, dude, you're talking about the eye of the tornado! It's like this intense swirling vortex at the center of the storm where things get all calm and peaceful... just kidding, it's actually where all the chaos and destruction is happening. So, yeah, it's basically the epicenter of the tornado, where things are spinning like crazy.
A tornado's central pressure is lower than the surroundings. In a strong tornado it may be 50 to 100 millibars lower. The actual pressure will, of course, depend on what the pressure of the surroundings are, which can vary with elevation and the tornado's parent storm system.
No. The eye of a tornado is a calm, clear area at the tornado's center.
Like a hurricane, the middle of the tornado is called the Eye.
The center of a tornado is called the "eye" or "eyewall." It is a relatively calm area with lower wind speeds compared to the strong winds in the surrounding tornado.
Pressure decreases sharply, reaching its lowest at the center of the tornado. This pulls air toward the center of the tornado and then drawn into the tornado's updraft. The tornado spins as it originates from a larger circulation called a mesocyclone.
The center of a tornado is called the eye, and it is typically calm and quiet. This area is surrounded by the most intense winds and destruction within the tornado itself.
The center of a tornado is often informally called an "eye" such as that in a hurricane. In technical terms it is called a weak-echo hole.
Yes. A tornado has a center of rotation.
It is called the eye of the tornadoAn eye
A tornado has a center of low pressure.
It is believed that there is a calm "eye" at the center of a tornado. But mostly the winds in a tornado are very strong.
The center of a tornado.
There is no real term for the tip of a tornado. A small area of intense suction in a tornado may be referred to as a suction spot.
