Generally, it doesn't. Air generally moves up in a tornado. When the funnel of a tornado descends, the air is not moving down. The funnel itself is due to the pressure drop inside a tornado. This cools the air that is drawn into it, causing moisture in it to condense into a cloud. As the tornado forms and intensifies, the pressure and core temperature drop, allowing condensation to occur at a lower altitude. In some tornadoes, however, air does move down in the center of a tornado. This occurs when a tornado is spinning so rapidly that air spiraling in from the sides cannot reach the center. Instead, air is drawn downward through the center.

Do i say move slightly down or move slightly downward?

You can say either "move slightly down" or "move slightly downward" – both are correct. The choice between "down" and "downward" is a matter of personal preference, as both words are adverbs that can be used to indicate direction.


When a cold air mass and a warm air mass meet and neither can move the other the result is a?

A stationary front is formed when a cold air mass and a warm air mass meet but neither can move the other. This results in a boundary where the two air masses remain in place, creating a mix of weather conditions along the front.

What is to move downward?

To move downward is to descend or lower oneself from a higher point to a lower point in space. It often involves moving in the direction of gravity.


Why do you need to use force to move a ball up a ramp when it moves downward by itself?

The force of gravity makes the ball move downward. To move it upward, you need to supply enough force to compensate for this (to stop the downward motion) plus a little extra (to cause the ball to move upward).
