It actually can hail a long time after a tornado. It hails only for a few minutes because not cold enough or the clouds aren't thick.

Do few tornadoes last more than a few minutes?

Correct, most tornadoes do not last more than a few minutes. Stronger tornadoes tend to last longer than weaker ones, though, so many of the major tornadoes that make national headlines will last more than just a few minutes.


Do tornadoes and hurricanes last the same length of time?

No. A typical hurricane lasts several days, and some last for weeks. A typical tornado only lasts a few minutes, and some last only a few seconds. On very rare occasions a tornado may last a few hours.


When a large hailstone is cut open 4 layers can be seen What conclusion can you draw about the formation of the hailstone?

The presence of four distinct layers in a hailstone suggests that it formed through multiple cycles of freezing and thawing within a cloud, where each layer corresponds to a different cycle of ice accretion. This process likely occurred as the hailstone was carried through varying temperature and humidity zones within the cloud, leading to the formation of the layered structure.


How do hail pellets get bigger?

Hail pellets get bigger through a process called accretion, where supercooled water droplets in a thunderstorm freeze onto a hailstone as it is lifted and falls through the storm multiple times. The hailstone grows as more water freezes onto it, creating layers of ice. The stronger the updrafts in the storm, the more times the hailstone is lifted and falls through the storm, allowing it to accumulate more ice and grow in size.
