Which weather phenomena is associated with tornadoes and hurricanes?
Thunderstorms. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms while a hurricane is composed of thunderstorms.
Why do hurricanes and tornadoes happen at the same time whenever?
They don't. While it is fairly common for a hurricane to produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are not associated with hurricanes. The thunderstorms that produce tornadoes may produce strong, even hurricane-force winds, but that does not make them hurricanes.
Does a tornado have rain?
Tornadoes form during strong thunderstorms, so they are usually accompanied by heavy rain, but they do not produce rain themselves. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorm while others are embedded in rain.
Do thunderstorms hurricanes and tornadoes all involve rain?
Yes, although thunderstorms and hurricanes always involve large - sometimes torrential - amounts of rain. Tornadoes may involve torrential amounts of rain, some rain, or very little to no rain at all.
Do thunderstorms go in circles?
No, thunderstorms do not typically go in circles. Thunderstorms exhibit vertical and horizontal movement driven by atmospheric conditions, such as wind patterns and temperature gradients. While they can have rotating updrafts that may produce tornadoes or funnel clouds, the overall movement of a thunderstorm is generally not circular.

Can cirrus and stratus cloud make a thunderstorm or a tornado?
No. Status clouds can bring rain but not thunderstorms and certainly not tornadoes. Cirrus clouds are sometimes torn away from thunderstorms, but they do not cause them. Tornadoes and the thunderstorms that produce them are associate with cumulonimbus clouds.
How are thunderstorms and tornadoes different?
A thunderstorm is basically just a storm, usually in the form of a cumulonimbus or cumulus congestus cloud that can produces lightning, thunder, rain, and wind. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground, with ground level winds capable of producing damage.
Where are tornadoes least likely to happen?
Tornadoes are least like to spawn in very cold or dry climates, where the atmosphere rarely has enough energy to produce the powerful thunderstorms needed for tornadoes.
Do thunderstorms and tornadoes come from nimbostratus clouds?
No. Thunderstorms form from cumulonimbus clouds, and tornadoes form from thunderstorms. Cucmulonimbus clouds develop in highly unstable atmosphere, while nimbo stratus indicates a fairly stable atmosphere.

How are hail and tornadoes formed in common?
Tornadoes and hail are both a product of severe thunderstorms. The most powerful thunderstorms on Earth are supercells, which are characterized by strong, rotating updraft. These thunderstorms are the ones most capable of producing significant hail and tornadoes. The strong updraft keeps hailstones in the air as they form, while the rotation in the updraft is what leads to the formation of tornadoes.
How do you compare and contrast thunderstorms and tornadoes?
Thunderstorms and tornadoes: • both are most likely to occur in the spring and summer months • they can both form over water and land • they can both cause major damage • both are natural catastrophic events... Kinda • both involve water and wind Thunderstorms: • caused by a disturbance in the atmosphere • can produce flash floods or even tornadoes • can involve lightning, thunder, gusty winds, heavy rain, and hail • occurs most often on the gulf coast, especially in Florida • occur mostly in spring and summer months • can cover an area as large as 8 to 16 square kilometers Tornadoes: • it is a rotating column of air • hurricanes and thunderstorms often bring on tornadoes • US has more tornadoes than any other country • most tornadoes happen in "Tornado Alley" • most develope from march to July • diameter is usually between 100 and 600 meters, but can be has large as 4 kilometers • waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water • most of its destructive power comes from its strong winds
Why do tornadoes not happen in Antarctica?
Antarctica is very cold while tornadoes can only form with thunderstorms, which require at least some degree of warm, moist air.
Does the presence of hail indicate that a tornado is imminent?
No, the presence of hail does not necessarily indicate that a tornado is imminent. While hail can be associated with severe thunderstorms that may produce tornadoes, it is not a definitive indicator of an imminent tornado.
Are tornadoes caused by dust storm from south America?
No. Tornadoes are, in simple terms, caused by strong thunderstorms encountering wind shear. While there could be some teleconnections that influence tornadoes, we could still have tornadoes with or without them.
