How is a man skiing downhill of a snowy landscape and a tornado on an ocean kinetic energies different?
The man skiing downhill on a snowy landscape has kinetic energy associated with his motion along the slope, while the tornado over the ocean has kinetic energy associated with its rotational movement in the atmosphere. In both cases, kinetic energy is the energy of motion, but the sources and forms of motion are different.
What type of energy is a tornado?
A tornado is a form of kinetic energy, specifically in the form of mechanical energy. This is because a tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that has both translational and rotational motion, causing it to possess kinetic energy. The destructive power of a tornado is a result of this kinetic energy transferring to its surroundings, causing damage to structures and landscapes.
Where can mechanical energy be found?
Mechanical energy can be found in various forms such as moving cars, spinning turbines, bouncing balls, and swinging pendulums. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
Where is the potential energy present before the tornado occurs?
The energy is stored in the air as thermal energy. A supercell thunderstorm turns that into kinetic energy in the form of rotating wind. Under the right conditions that rotation can form a tornado.
What happens in the center of a tornado?
In most tornadoes the wind moves up in the center of a tornado. However, in others there is a downdraft that forms because the tornado is spinning so fast that winds from the outside cannot reach the center. This creates a calm area similar to the eye of a hurricane.
What are the forms of energy in a tornado?
Kinetic energy. Wind energy and transfered into sound energy.
What forms the shape of a tornado?
a tornado is formed by a thunderstorm

Where is a tornado called a waterspout?
A tornado is called a waterspout anywhere that it forms on water.

What do you call a tornado that forms over a calm sea?
A tornado on water is called a waterspout.
A violent windstorm that forms a rotating column of air called a vortex is a?
tornado
Does a tornado cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
how do tornado get energy from?
they get energy from thunder storms
What molecule that forms large structures are found in all organisms?
energy
Where does hail form in relation to a tornado?
Hail most often occurs ahead of the tornado but it also frequently found in the hook of the storm, which wraps around behind and to the left of the tornado (with respect to its movement) in the northern hemisphere and to the right of it in the southern hemisphere.
Does the air pressure change inside the tornado?
Yes the pressure drops as the tornado forms and progresses. The tornado's lowest pressure is in the center.
