Is there a neverending tornado on Jupiter?
Yes, but it is more like a hurricane.
Why during Hurricane Sandy were there 'explosions' that looked like blue huge balls of light?
Those are power flashes. They often occur when strong winds from a hurricane, tornado, or other powerful storm interfere with power lines, causing electricity to arc.
Does a hurricane look like a large tornado?
No. From the ground a hurricane looks mostly like a very intense storm with extreme wind and torrential rain. Viewed from space a hurricane typically has a spiral shape to it, often with an eye in the center.
How is the center of a tornado similar to the center of a hurricane?
The barometric pressure at a tornado is very low, just like in a hurricane. It is also believed that many tornadoes have a relatively calm center where ari descends. This is similar to the eye of a hurricane.
Are hurricanes kind of like a mix between tsunamis and tornadoes?
In some ways they can be thought of that way, though that concept is not quite accurate. While both a tornado and a hurricane involve low pressure and powerful, rotating winds a hurricane is several orders of magnitude larger than a tornado and is its own storm system. In both a hurricane (through what is called the storm surge) and a tsunami seawater moves onto land. Like a tsunami a hurricane also involves large waves. However, a tsunami is far more violent and travels further inland than a storm surge or storm driven waves of the same height. Overall a hurricane is more close related to a tornado as they are both weather events, though of very different sorts while a tsunami is produced by geologic forces.
Is there a neverending tornado on Jupiter?
Yes, but it is more like a hurricane.
Why do storm chasers like to experience hurricanes?
Hurricanes have high winds-like a tornado. Plus, a hurricane has the potential to produce a tornado.
What to pack when there's a tornado near by?
You don't pack when a tornado is coming; you take cover immediately. You don't have time like you do with a hurricane.
What is it called in the middle of a tornado?
Like a hurricane, the middle of the tornado is called the Eye.
What is the difference between hurricane and thunderstrom?
a hurricane is like a tornado but on water while a thunderstorm is electricity built up in the clouds waiting to strike
Why during Hurricane Sandy were there 'explosions' that looked like blue huge balls of light?
Those are power flashes. They often occur when strong winds from a hurricane, tornado, or other powerful storm interfere with power lines, causing electricity to arc.
When do you receive money from a budgeting loan?
when if was like an hurricane or a tornado and you lost things or if your house got fludded
What are conditions like on the ground before during and after a tornado?
before a tornado it is usally calm after a strong tornado there is lots of debris and during a tornado there are things flying everywhere
Does a hurricane look like a large tornado?
No. From the ground a hurricane looks mostly like a very intense storm with extreme wind and torrential rain. Viewed from space a hurricane typically has a spiral shape to it, often with an eye in the center.
Is the worst part of a tornado the eye?
No. Like the eye of a hurricane, the eye of a tornado is calm. The worst part of tornado is the suction vortices. These are smaller circulations, almost like mini tornadoes, that circle the center of a tornado and can add more than 100 mph to the wind speed.
Does every tornado have a name?
No. No tornado has a name. Every hurricane, gets a name , though, with the exception of one hurricane in 1991 which was simply called "the Perfect Storm."
How is a tornado scale different to a hurricane scale?
Hurricane scales, such as the Saffir-Simpson scale rate storms as they are still active using instrumental readings of wind speeds. This is used the give an idea of the storm's damage potential. By contrast, tornado scales such as the Enhanced Fujita scale gives ratings after the storm has passed through, using wind speeds estimated based on the damage left behind. It is much more difficult to measure tornado winds than hurricane winds because tornadoes are much smaller, develop much more quickly, and are much more short lived.
