A large thunderstorm can release energy equivalent to about 10 billion watts, which is comparable to the output of several nuclear power plants. The total energy produced during a severe thunderstorm can be estimated at around 1 million kilowatt-hours. This immense energy is generated through processes like convection, condensation, and lightning, highlighting the powerful nature of these weather systems.

Why do tornadoes vary in size?

There are various factors that are not fully understood. Part of it has to do with how much energy a storm can put into producing a tornado, as it takes more energy to move a larger amount of air and large tornadoes tend to be stronger. This depends both on how strong the thunderstorm is and how it is organized (i.e. where energy goes and in what forms). A well organized supercell thunderstorm with a lot of energy can produce very large violent tornadoes. Additionally, a key part of tornado formation occurs when a larger circulation, called a mesocyclone , tightens and intensifies. A mesocyclone that is not tightened as much may result in a large but not particularly strong tornado.


Why do tornadoes comes in the Earth?

Tornadoes come from the energy released in a thunderstorm. As powerful as they are, tornadoes account for only a tiny fraction of the energy in a thunderstorm.
