What is the difference between thunderstorm and wind?
Wind is the movement of air. A thunderstorm is a rain shower that produces thunder and lightning.
What wind speed does a thunderstorm reach?
Many thunderstorms produce very little wind, and wind speeds in most thunderstorms do not exceed 40 mild per hour. In rare cases, though, thunderstorms may produce winds to well over 100 milers per hour.
What factor is most helpful in determining where a thunderstorm is coming from and where it may go?
Understanding the movement of weather fronts and wind direction are key factors in determining where a thunderstorm is coming from and where it may go. By tracking the path and speed of these systems, meteorologists can make predictions about the storm's movement and potential impact.
How big is the wind in a thunderstorm?
It varies greatly. Some thunderstorms produce very little wind, while in rage cases, a thunderstorm can produce wind gusts to well over 100 mph.
What storms has the highest wind speed--A Mid-latitude cyclonic storm B-Tornado C- Hurricane D- Thunderstorm?
Of these, a tornado produces the fastest winds.
What is the speed of a thunderstorm?
3 miles
Is high wind necessary for a thunderstorm?
No. Some thunderstorms produce relatively little wind.
Which of the followin does not describe a type of damaging thunderstorm wind?
Land breeze
Do rain and wind have a connection with tornadoes?
Yes. Tornadoes occur during thunderstorms. Rain plays a significant role in the thermodynamic processes of a thunderstorm can help determine whether or not a storm will produce a tornado. A thunderstorm cannot develop the potential for tornadoes if there is not enough vertical wind shear, or difference in wind speed and direction with altitude. A tornado is itself a vortex of very powerful winds.
Which speed does the wind have to travel to be considered a tornado?
The enhanced Fujita scale shows winds for an EF0 (the weakest level) beginning at 65 mph, while the original scale starts F0 at 40 mph. However it is important to note that winds traveling at over 65 mph do not make a tornado. A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air extending from he base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Meaning that if the wind doesn't rotate and does not come from a thunderstorm then it is not a tornado, regardless of wind speed.
What does wind have to do with tornadoes?
A tornado is a vortex of wind. Tornadoes develop from interactions of air currents (wind) within a thunderstorm.
How fast can wind in a thunderstorm go?
Wind speeds in a thunderstorm can vary widely, but they can reach speeds of 50 to 60 miles per hour (80 to 97 kilometers per hour) or even higher in severe cases. Tornadoes, which are often associated with thunderstorms, can have wind speeds well over 100 miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour).
