What is a landspout?
A landspout is a type of tornado that forms when a rapidly rising air mass initiates a rotating updraft near the ground. Unlike traditional tornadoes that form from supercell thunderstorms, landspouts generally develop from non-supercell storms and are typically weaker in intensity. They are also usually shorter-lived and less destructive.
How does a landspout that flatens crops form?
A landspout is a type of tornado that forms from the bottom up, unlike traditional tornadoes that form from the top down. When a landspout touches down over crops, the swirling winds can flatten them due to the strong rotational forces it generates. This can occur when the touchdown point of the landspout coincides with a field of crops, leading to damage from the intense winds.
