What develops when cold dry air becomes warm and moist?
A tornado.
What is the effect of a warm air mass and a cooler air mass converging at earth's surface?
tornado
Can moist air and warm air make a tornado?
Moist air and warm air are important factors in tornado formation, but they alone do not directly create tornadoes. Tornadoes are typically formed in the presence of a strong updraft within a supercell thunderstorm, where rising warm, moist air can be horizontally spinning at different speeds. The interaction of various atmospheric conditions, such as wind shear and instability, are also crucial in tornado development.
What kind of air masses are colliding over tornado alley?
The colliding air masses in Tornado Alley are warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico, cool air from Canada, and dry air from the Rockies. This collision is just part of the recipe for tornadoes.
What type of front forms when a warm air mass is trapped by 2 cold air masses?
Stationary Front
Is the warm air mass forming a tornado a tropical air mass?
Yes. The warm air mass that often plays a role in tornado formation is called a maritime tropical air mass.
What is cool air rising and warm air sinking?
tornado
Where does warm air come from that produces a tornado?
The warm, moist air involved in tornado formation usually comes from a warm body of water. For the United States it is usually the Gulf of Mexico.
What feeds a tornado?
A tornado is poweered by the thunderstorm that porduces it. This storm is fueled by warm, moist air.
What causes a tornado to start dying?
A tornado may start dying due to a decrease in the warm, moist air feeding into the storm, or if it becomes wrapped in rain-cooled air that stifles its rotation. Additionally, if the parent thunderstorm that spawned the tornado weakens or moves away, the tornado may dissipate.
What type of air travels to tornado alley from the gulf of Mexico?
The Gulf of Mexico provides warm, moist air.
What is the source of the warm moist air that generates tornadoes in Tornado Alley?
The Gulf of Mexico supplies most of the warm, moist air.
What develops when cold dry air becomes warm and moist?
A tornado.
Where does the warm air come from in a tornado?
The warm air usually originates from a tropical or subtropical latitude, usually from over a warm body of water such as the Gulf of Mexico.
When does tornado occurs?
When warm air moving above mixes in with cool air moving below.
What is the effect of a warm air mass and a cooler air mass converging at earth's surface?
tornado
Is a tornado cold or hot air?
Tornadoes typically form in a warm air mass, as that is what provides the energy, though it is often near a boundary with a cooler or drier air mass. However, due tot he pressure drop the air in a tornado is cooler than its surroundings.
