A tornado moves with its parent thunderstorm. The storm itself is carried by the winds in the environment it forms in.

What type of motion does a tornado causes a tornado?

It's caused by wind going in circular motion.


What are conclusions of a tornado in a bottle?

A tornado in a bottle is a simple experiment that demonstrates the concept of vortex formation. The movement of the liquid creates a swirling motion similar to that of a tornado. Observing this can help understand how air movements can create tornadoes in the atmosphere.


What causes a tornado to lose its strength?

A tornado can lose its strength when it moves over cooler water or land, or if it encounters strong winds that disrupt its circulation. Additionally, if the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado weakens or dissipates, the tornado will also lose strength.


How does fujita scale measure the intensity of a tornado?

The Fujita scale uses the severity of damage to determine the strength of a tornado.The Fujita scale rates tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they cause. Scientists examine the damage left by a tornado and determine what level (F0 to F5) best fits it. The overall rating of the tornado comes from the most severe damage it causes.


What causes the twister part of a tornado?

"Twister" is just another word for tornado. Most tornadoes develop from a mesocyclone, which is a large, rotating updraft that can be found in some severe thunderstorms. Under the right conditions the mesocyclone can tighten and extend toward the ground. This causes the rotation to intensify, forming a tornado. In some cases a weak tornado may form when a broad, gentle rotation near the ground gets caught in the updraft of a developing thunderstorm.

What element of thunderstorms causes a tornado?

The rotating updraft within a thunderstorm, known as a mesocyclone, is responsible for creating the conditions that can lead to a tornado. When this rotating air column tightens and extends to the ground, it can form a tornado.


What causes a tornado to appear dark when it touches the ground?

A tornado often appears dark were it is touching the ground be cause the powerful winds of the tornado lift dirt from the ground.


How do scientists estimate wind speeds of a tornado?

Scientists use the severity of damage that a tornado causes to estimate wind speed.

What is true low pressure with a tornado causes building to explode?

No, low pressure in a tornado does not cause buildings to explode. That is a common myth.


Why does a tornado have eyes?

A tornado does not have eyes, but an eye. That is because the circular motion causes t to have an opening in the very middle, and they call that an eye.


What does the fujita scale use to rate tornado intensity?

The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to determine its rating.


What causes most damage from a tornado?

The greatest amount of damage in a tornado is caused by extremely strong winds. Additional damage is from flying debris.


What is a vortex related to tornado?

A vortex is a spinning or rotating movement in a liquid or gas. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air and thus is a type of vortex.
