Which term describes a rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstrom to the ground?

A tornado is a rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground, characterized by high wind speeds and a funnel-shaped cloud.


What is a column of air that spins rapidly?

A column of air that spins rapidly is called a tornado. Tornadoes typically form during severe thunderstorms when warm moist air meets cold dry air, creating a rotating column of air that extends from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground.


What is the funnel of a tornado called?

tornado is often made visible by a distinctive funnel-shaped cloud. Commonly called the condensation funnel, the funnel cloud is a tapered column of water droplets that extends downward from the base of the parent cloud. It is commonly mixed with and perhaps enveloped by dust and debris lifted from the surface.


Why is the value of atmospheric pressure compared to mercury?

The common method to measure atmospheric pressure employs an inverted column submerged in a fluid to determine the level at which the column has to be raised to equalize the external atmospheric pressure and the internal column pressure. The height at which the fluid inside the column ceases to increase is correlated to atmospheric pressure. Due to mercury's high density, this level is on the order of inches (~30 inches of mercury at atmospheric pressure). If water were to be used the column would have to be ~32 feet tall in order to develop the equalized pressures between the column and atmosphere.


What is the Standard pressure if the pressure exerted by a column of mercury?

The standard pressure is 1 atmosphere (atm), which is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a column of mercury that is 760 mm (millimeters) or 29.92 inches high. This pressure is commonly used as a reference point for measuring other pressures.

How tall is the atmosphere column?

The atmosphere column extends about 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) above the Earth's surface. The atmosphere is divided into different layers based on temperature variations, with the troposphere being the layer closest to the Earth's surface and extending up to about 7 miles (11 kilometers) high.

What unit would you use in the metric system to weigh a column of air?

Air is relatively light so if your column does not have a large cross section or a great height maybe grams would be a good choice. The column of air above a one square meter area at sea level that extends to the top of the atmosphere should probably use the unit kilograms.

What column of violently rotating air in the shape of a funnel that extends from the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud to the ground?

This is called a tornado.


What is one source of air pressure?

One source of air pressure is the weight of the air column above a given point. As the atmosphere extends up into space, the weight of the air above pushes down on the air below, creating air pressure at the surface.


What part of the atmosphere do you live in?

I live in the deepest, thickest, warmest, most dense part of the column of atmosphere located over Chicago.
