A tornado can slow down due to a decrease in the wind speed of the surrounding air, friction with the Earth's surface, and changes in the atmospheric conditions that originally fueled its formation. These factors can weaken the tornado's circulation and cause it to dissipate or lose intensity.

What happens after surface winds slow down in a tornado due to ground friction?

When surface winds slow down in a tornado due to ground friction, the tornado may weaken or dissipate altogether. This is because a tornado's strength is dependent on the fast rotation of air at the surface, so when this rotation slows down, the tornado's intensity is reduced.


Is it true ater slows down the rotation of a tornado?

No, water does not slow down the rotation of a tornado. Tornadoes form due to a complex interaction of atmospheric conditions, and the presence of water does not significantly impact their rotational speed.


What type of path does a tornado follow once it touches down?

A tornado follows a relatively narrow path that is usually fairly straight but can meander somewhat. Slow-moving tornadoes may have erratic, looping paths.


What is a satellite tornado?

A satellite tornado is a tornado that touches down near and usually orbits a larger tornado within the same mesocyclone.


Can a typical tornado move from 10 to 20 miles per hour?

10 to 20 mph would be a slow moving tornado. A typical tornado travels at 30-35 mph.
