Icebergs are produced when large pieces of ice break off from the front of a glacier during a process called calving. This can happen due to a variety of factors like melting from rising temperatures or the natural movement of the glacier.


Are strong storms the same as severe storms?

The short answer is no. Or rather a severe storm is a very strong storm. The National Weather Service uses the term "severe" when a thunderstorm produces winds of 59 MPH or greater and/or large hail 3 quarters of an inch in diameter or greater. The National Weather Service usually describes storms as "strong" when they're not quite to those levels but still significant.


Describe the weather that can be produced be a supercell?

Like other thunderstorms, a supercell produces heavy rain, thunder and lightning, and often produces strong winds. However, compared with other storms a supercell carries a much higher risk for large hail and tornadoes.


Which statement about supercell storms is false?

Supercell storms are characterized by a persistent rotating updraft called a mesocyclone, which is a key feature that distinguishes them from other types of storms. These storms can produce severe weather such as tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds. One false statement about supercell storms is that they typically have a short lifespan and do not last for an extended period of time.


What conditions cause winds and rotating storms?

Wind is caused by uneven heating and pressure differences. Air tends to move toward an area where warm air is rising and away from an area where cool air is sinking. Similarly, air is pulled towards low pressure and away from high pressure.. However, as a consequence of earth's spin, in large scale systems air moves to the right of the direction of pull in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in the southern hemisphere. This causes large scale weather systems to rotate. Large scale storm systems are low pressure systems. Smaller scale rotating storms, such as supercells and the tornadoes their produce get their rotation from wind shear, or differences in wind speed and direction at different heights.

Which of these storms are produced by large rising columns of warm moist air?

Thunderstorms are produced by large rising columns of warm moist air. This process leads to the formation of cumulonimbus clouds and can result in heavy rainfall, lightning, thunder, and sometimes severe weather such as hail or tornadoes.


What storms are produced by large rising columns of warm moist air?

Small area storms formed by the strong upward movement of warm, moist air are called storm surges.


What is the name of spinning columns of rising air of tornadoes?

The tornado itself is a spinning column of rising air. They usually form froma large rotating column of air called a mesocyclone.


Why are super cells produced in tornadoes often produce large hailstones as well?

Supercells are not produced in tornadoes. Tornadoes are produced in supercells. Supercells, especially tornadic supercells are very strong storms with powerful updrafts. A very strong updraft in a thunderstorm is one of the most important ingredients in producing large hail.

An effect of solar storms that can be viewed with the naked eye?

The northern lights have been seen by human beings for thousands of years. They are caused when solar storms eject large bursts of solar wind into the Earth's magnetic field. Radiation, including ultraviolet radiation, is also produced by solar storms. But ultraviolet radiation cannot be seen by the naked eye. Thunder and lightning are not caused by solar storms.
