A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes generate very powerful winds that can badly damage or destroy buildings. The main hazard in a tornado is flying debris.
Lightning is a massive discharge of static electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm. Most of the time lightning travels within a cloud or between clouds, but it can strike the ground. The main hazard from lightning is electrocution, though it can also start fires.
the sheet lightning is more mild then the ball lightning
Lightning is light energy, or electromagnetic energy. And thunder is sound energy.
Yes, very often tornadoes are preceded by heavy rain and lightning. Tornadoes usually form near the back of a supercell thunderstorm.
Well, whirlpools are vortices of water. Tornadoes are vortices of air that extend from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground and are strong enough to produce damage.
Such clouds are called cumulonimbus.
the difference between lightning and a taser is i have no idea
Tornadoes don't actually have lightning in them, but they are frequently accompanied by lightning because tornadoes form during thunderstorms.
Both Tornadoes and lightning are produced by thunderstorms.
No. Since tornadoes form in thunderstorms they are usually accompanied by lightning, but they do not actually cause lightning.
Tornadoes do not cause lighting. However tornadoes form during thunderstorms, so they are often accompanied by lightning.
the sheet lightning is more mild then the ball lightning
On average tornadoes kill more people than lightning
Lightning is caused by a voltage difference between the clouds and Earth, or between clouds.
Nothing. Heat lightning is just lightning too far away to be heard.
Both tornadoes and lightning are produced by thunderstorms.
Since tornadoes are spawned by thunderstorms they are often accompanied by lightning. Additionally, some survivors have reported seeing the inside of a tornado frequently lit up by lightning.
There is no such thing as a lightning tornado. Lightning and tornadoes are two different phenomena. They are both very dangerous, though, each claiming dozens of lives every year.
