In some cases one tornado will dissipate completely, and then a completely new tornado will form afterward from the same thunderstorm. This is called a tornado family.

When an eye of a tornado comes back more severe than the general tornado what is that called?

When the eye of a tornado becomes more intense and destructive than the larger tornado, it is known as a "tornado within a tornado" or a "satellite tornado." This phenomenon occurs when a smaller, more powerful vortex forms within the main tornado circulation.


Tornado disappears then comes back?

There are a few possible explanations. Tornadoes are often made visible by the condensation of moisture inside the vortex. If a parcel of dry air enters the tornado, or if the tornado weakens, the visible funnel may evaporate. In this case the tornado is still present and still dangerous, but it has essentially become invisible. A variation of this phenomenon can happen in multiple vortex tornadoes. Tornadoes like this contain multiple smaller, short-lived vortices within a larger tornado. If the amount of moisture in the air is just right, the smaller vortices will be visible as they form and dissipate, but not the larger vortex will remain invisible. In other cases the processes that cause a tornado to dissipate may start, but not finish, causing a tornado to temporarily lift. In other cases a thunderstorm may go through cycles of strengthening and weakening. In the process it can produce multiple tornadoes one after another.


What happens to the stuff in a tornado when the tornado stops?

If you mean the debris being carried by a tornado, if it hasn't already been thrown out of the tornado it simply gets dropped to the ground once the tornado is no longer strong enough to carry it.


Where does a tornado start?

A tornado typically starts when warm, moist air interacts with cool, dry air, causing instability in the atmosphere. This interaction can lead to the formation of a rotating updraft in a thunderstorm, which may then develop into a tornado under the right conditions.


How does a tornado evolve from a thunderstorm?

First, you need a special kind of thunderstorm called a supercell. A supercell is a thunderstorm with a powerful, rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. As the storm gets stronger a downdraft may descend from the back of the storm. This is called a rear-flank downdraft or RFD. The RFD wraps around the mesocyclone causing it to tighten, intensify, and extend towards the ground, becoming a tornado. This is a somewhat simplified explanation. There are other factors that scientists still don't fully understand.

Who named the tornado?

As with most words, the etymology cannot be traced back to any particular person. The first recorded use of the word "tornado" was in 1556. It comes from the Spanish word "tronada," which means thunderstorm.

What is the role of downdrafts in the formation of a tornado?

Tornadoes usually form from a type of thunderstorm called a supercell, which has a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. A downdraft at the back of the storm, called the rear-flank downdraft or RFD is believed to wrap around the tornado, tightening and intensifying it to produce a tornado.

What would happen if you lived on the moon and there was an eclipse?

The same thing that happens when you're on eartlh and you see a solar eclipse. The sun disappears for a few minutes or seconds and comes back. On earth, it would be called a lunar eclipse, where the earth comes between the sun and the moon. On the moon, it would look like a solar eclipse.
