This term most likely refers to a multiple-vortex tornado. A tornado is itself a vortex that can sometimes contain two or more smaller vortices that move with the tornado's rotation. These vortices pack stronger winds than the rest of the tornado, and often result in areas within a tornado's path where damage is more severe than it is elsewhere.

What is the difference between a multiple vortex tornado and a single vortex tornado?

A multiple vortex tornado has smaller, short-lived vortices moving around inside of it. The suction vortices have stronger winds than the rest of the tornado and are noted for cutting narrow curved swaths of intense damage. A multiple vortex tornado sometimes has the appearance of two or more tornadoes moving circles. A single vortex tornado is simply one vortex of tornadic wind.


What causes a tornadoes to spilt?

Tornadoes don't exactly split, but there are multiple vortex tornadoes. A multiple vortex tornado may appear to be composed of several smaller tornadoes but is still in fact one tornado. The process by which this happens is not fully understood, but it begins when a downdraft is forced down the center of the tornado, widening it. If the tornado has the right ratio of rotational speed to vertical speed it can develop a multiple vortex structure.


What country calls tornadoes suction vortexes?

No country does. A suction vortex is not a tornado; it is a feature that can develop in a tornado. A tornado itself is a vortex but can sometimes contain smaller vortices (vortexes) called suction vortices. Such a storm is called a multiple-vortex tornado.


What does A vortex have to do with an tornado?

A vortex is a spinning flow of air or liquid. In a tornado, a vortex forms when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating a rotating column of air that extends from the base of the storm cloud to the ground. This rotating vortex is what gives a tornado its destructive power.


What was it meant by multiple vortices?

When water (or any fluid) is stirred in a circular motion it will form a vortex or vortices. A vortex is a region in which the fluid flows in a circular motion around a vertical axis. Common examples are smoke rings, whirlpools - including those seen behind the oars of boats or hot drinks that have been stirred, water going down a plughole. Often the fluid forms more than one vortex - these are multiple vortices.
