A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground.
Lightning is a massive discharge of static electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm.
No, tornadoes are typically associated with dark or black funnels due to the debris they pick up. The color of a tornado is determined by the materials it has sucked up and the lighting conditions around it.
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.
Tornado clouds are typically dark grey or green in color. The specific color can vary depending on the amount of moisture and debris present in the cloud, as well as the lighting conditions at the time.
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.
A funnel cloud is a rotating column of air that does not reach the ground, while a tornado is a funnel cloud that extends to the ground and causes damage. Both are formed from the same weather conditions and can be associated with severe thunderstorms.
Is there a differance between lighting bug and firefly?
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Lightning is a massive discharge of static electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm.
No. Twister is just an informal word for a tornado.
A strong tornado is one that is EF2 or stronger. A violent tornado is one that is EF4 or EF5.
There is none; twister and tornado are two words for the same thing. Tornado is the preferred scientific term.
A Tornado is swirly fast wind, a flood is rising water levels...
A tornado drill is like a fire drill but for tornadoes: practice for the possibility of a tornado. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been detected or is likely to form soon.
No. While tornadoes and lightning often occur at the same time a tornado cannot be made of lighting, nor are the two directly related. A tornado is a vortex of air; lighting is an electrical discharge.
There is no technical difference between a tornado and a twister; they both refer to the same meteorological phenomenon of a rapidly rotating column of air in contact with the ground. "Tornado" is the more commonly used term in the United States, while "twister" is sometimes used as a colloquial or informal synonym.
a tornado, typhoon, cyclone, twister, and hurricane are pretty much the same.
Tornado Alley - is simply a name given to the relatively narrow area of the states where the majority of tornadoes are found.
Actually there is no difference between lighting bugs and fireflys. People call the little beetles differently depending on the area of which people live.
