What is an ice pellet with a diameter larger than 5 mm?
An ice pellet with a diameter larger than 5 mm is called a hailstone. Hailstones are formed when updrafts in thunderstorms carry water droplets high into the atmosphere where they freeze. As more water freezes onto the hailstone, it continues to grow in size until it eventually falls to the ground.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze a surface of a fresh water lake?
The ocean is larger than a lake. Therefore, being larger it can absorb more heat. That is why a lower temperature is needed to freeze it.
Can tornadoes travel over a body of water?
Yes, tornadoes on water are called waterspouts.
Can tornadoes form over water?
Yes. Tornadoes formed over water are called waterspouts.
Do hurricanes and tornadoes both spin in the storm and start over water?
Hurricanes and tornadoes both exhibit rotational movement; hurricanes spin in a cyclonic pattern due to the Earth's rotation and form over warm ocean waters, while tornadoes typically develop from thunderstorms on land. Hurricanes require warm ocean water to strengthen, whereas tornadoes can occur over land or water but generally form in severe weather conditions. Both phenomena are distinct in their formation processes and locations, with hurricanes being larger and more sustained than tornadoes.
How does temperature effect water tornadoes?
Temperature can impact the formation and strength of water tornadoes. Warmer temperatures can create unstable atmospheric conditions that lead to the development of more powerful water tornadoes, while cooler temperatures can suppress their formation. Additionally, temperature differences between the air and water can influence the formation and intensity of water tornadoes.
What type of surface area do tornadoes and hurricanes form?
Hurricanes can form only open warm ocean water with a temperature of least 80 degrees or 26 celsius. Tornadoes can form over land or water. A tornado formed over water is called a waterspout. Tornadoes can almost anywhere in the world with the right weather conditions. Their have been tornadoes on six continents. Hurricanes form in the tropics and then follow paths that take them either over land or they or they stay over the open ocean.
How far can tornadoes travel over water?
A large body of water, such as an ocean or one of the Great Lakes can have an impact, but it is difficult to predict. The water may cool the air, causing the storm to weaken which can cause a tornado to narrow or dissipate. However, the added moisture cloud also cause a storm to intensify, allowing a tornado to continue longer and/or grow larger.
What is the diameter of cold water pipes?
That would depend on the application as some are larger then 48"
When steadily flowing water flows from a larger diameter pipe to a smaller diameter pipe what happens to its pressure?
When steadily flowing water transitions from a larger diameter pipe to a smaller diameter pipe, its velocity increases due to the principle of continuity, which states that the flow rate must remain constant. According to Bernoulli's principle, as the velocity of the fluid increases, its pressure decreases. Therefore, the pressure in the smaller diameter pipe is lower than in the larger one.
How is the diameter of a water wheel determined?
The diameter of a water wheel is determined by several factors, including the intended power output, the flow rate of the water, and the height from which the water falls. A larger diameter can increase the potential energy harnessed from the water, but it also requires more water flow and may need a larger structure. Additionally, the wheel's design and the type of application—such as milling or generating electricity—also influence the optimal diameter. Ultimately, balancing these factors helps achieve efficient performance and functionality.
One column of water has twice the diameter as another column of water. If the pressure is the same at the bottom of each column. How do the heights of the two columns compare?
The column with the smallest diameter has greater pressure and the column with a larger diameter has less pressure.
Has there ever been a water tornado?
There are no tornadoes that are made of water, but tornadoes do touch down on water fairly often. Tornadoes on water are called waterspouts.
How much does water weigh in 100' of pipe with a diameter of 3inches?
That would depend on the temperature and is this fresh or sea water? About 305.72
Is a tornado least responsible for the weathering of rocks?
Yes, tornadoes are not a significant factor in the weathering of rocks. Tornadoes mainly cause physical erosion by moving and transporting rocks and sediment. Other factors like water, wind, and temperature fluctuations play a larger role in the chemical and mechanical weathering of rocks over time.
What is an ice pellet with a diameter larger than 5 mm?
An ice pellet with a diameter larger than 5 mm is called a hailstone. Hailstones are formed when updrafts in thunderstorms carry water droplets high into the atmosphere where they freeze. As more water freezes onto the hailstone, it continues to grow in size until it eventually falls to the ground.
How big the water well pipes have to be for a business gas station?
The water well pipes have to be at least 12 inches in diameter in order for a gas station to operate legally. If they are larger than this, that's fine, but they can't be larger than 18 inches in diameter. This varies from state to state.
