Thunderstorms are created by atmospheric instability. They are most commonly caused by warm, moist air colliding with cool, dry air.

Does a hurricane begin as a thunderstorm?

No, hurricanes typically form over warm ocean waters when atmospheric conditions are conducive for development, such as low wind shear and high humidity. Thunderstorms may be part of the hurricane's development once it forms.

When do snow storms occur?

Snow storms occur when moisture in the atmosphere combines with cold temperatures to produce snowfall. Snow storms typically happen in the winter months when these conditions are more likely to occur, especially in regions that experience cold winter weather. The timing and frequency of snow storms can vary depending on geographic location and climate patterns.

What kind of wheater caues tornadoes?

The formation of tornadoes is complicated.First, a condition called wind shear, in which the speed or direction of the wind changes with altitude. If the shear is strong enough it can essentially tilt a thunderstorm, this separates the updraft and downdraft of the thunderstorm, preventing them from interfering with one another. This allows the storm to become stronger and last longer.Additionally, if the wind shear is strong enough it can start the air rolling in what is called horizontal vorticity. This horizontal vorticity can then be turned vertical by a thunderstorm's updraft. When this happens, the thunderstorm may start rotating. The rotation is especially strong in an updraft called a mesocyclone. If the storm intensifies rapidly enough, a relatively warm downdraft called a rear-flank downdraft or RFD can wrap around the bottom part of the mesocyclone. This can then tighten and intensify its rotation and bring it down to the ground to produce a tornado.


Do more wild fires occur now or in the past?

Wildfires are occurring more frequently now than in the past due to a combination of factors, including climate change, human activities like land development, and fire suppression practices. These factors create conditions that make wildfires more likely to start and spread.


Why you use lower yielding stress for design rather than ultimate?

when the material will start yielding, it will start becoming weaker and weaker so as a matter of fact for safety, we design for the first point that is likely to occur.
