What widespread intense low pressure area originating in the tropics to produce a storm with heavy rains and high winds of 75 mph or more?
hurricane
How is low pressure are formed in cyclones?
Yes. Hurricanes are themselves intense low pressure systems. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms most often found in low pressure systems and the tornadoes themselves produce a very localized area of low pressure.
Are tornadoes and hurricanes alike in many different ways?
No, they are similar in only a few basic ways. Both rotate cyclonically, that is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern, both produce intense low baromretric pressure, and both produce very strong winds. In other factors such as size, duration, and formation, they are very different.
What type weather does a high pressure system produce?
High pressure usually generates stable, calm weather.
Which of these processes would not produce liquid rock below the surface?
Decreasing the pressure will not produce liquid rock below the surface.
What widespread intense low pressure area originating in the tropics to produce a storm with heavy rains and high winds of 75 mph or more?
hurricane
What is similar about the air pressure in a hurricane and a tornado?
Both produce intense low pressure.
What are three ways that tornadoes and hurricanes are similar?
They are both storms that produce very powerful windsBoth rotate.Both produce intense low pressure.
Do tornadoes begin as areas of high pressure?
No. Like virtually all stormy weather, tornadoes are associated with low pressure areas. Tornadoes themselves produce intense low pressure.
Do hurricanes develop high pressure areas?
Hurricanes are intense low pressure systems.
Which has higher air pressure hurricane or tornado?
For the most part they are about the same, but in extreme cases it is believed that tornadoes can produce lower pressures. Note that lower pressure actually makes a storm more intense.
Is a tornado an intense area which is a vacuum?
No, inside a tornado the pressure is reduced by several psi, but it is not a vacuum. It only takes a pressure difference of 2 or 3 psi between inside and outside of a tornado to produce intense winds. Most of the damage from tornadoes comes from the winds that can exceed 200 mph.
What causes the strong winds associated with a tornado?
Intense low pressure at the tornado's center produces the wind. Most winds on earth are produce by pressure differences. The greater the difference over a given area, the greater the wind speed. Tornadoes produce a very large pressure drop over a short distance due to a steep pressure gradient.
What type of cloud might produce the most intense the most intense precipitaion?
cumulus
What does a laser produce?
A laser is a device to produce an intense monochromatic beam of coherent light.
How are tornadoes and typhoons similar?
Tornadoes and typhoons are both violent weather events that produce strong winds and intense low pressure. Both rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.
What type of cloud might produce the most intense precipitation?
blah
