What else can I help you with?
What will be issued if a tornado is possible?
The possibility of a tornado results in a "tornado watch" for a certain area and time.The actual existence of a tornado results in a tornado warning which is effective until cancelled but may be limited in time.
Can you consider a tornado as an act of air pollution?
No, air pollution results from putting chemical substances into the air. A tornado is entirely a physical occurrence.
Is a tornado primary or secondary succession?
A tornado results in secondary succession. The plants on the surface are destroyed, but buried seeds generally stay in place and the soil remains mostly intact.
Is it possible for a tornado to go south?
Absolutely. A tornado usually follows the path of the storm in which it results. So, if a storm is going south, the tornado has a high priority of going south. It is also possible for a tornado to go in a different direction than the storm in which it forms. For example, if a storm is headed west, a tornado could develop and go north. Hope this is helpful.
What happens when a tornado spins faster?
When a tornado spins faster its winds carry more force, so the tornado can cause more severe damage than it could before. Under some circumstances the increase in speed can trigger a phenomenon called vortex breakdown. In this process air at the center of the tornado begins to sink, forcing the tornado to widen. The collision between outward moving air from the center of the tornado and inflow toward the tornado then results in the formation of a series of smaller vortices within the tornado.
A tornado's funnel cloud results when?
A tornado's funnel cloud forms when warm, moist air rises rapidly and creates a rotating column of air. This spinning motion causes the air to condense into a funnel shape, which is visible as the iconic tornado funnel cloud.
Does tornado results in fast or slow changes why?
Tornadoes result in fast changes. A tornado is a relatively short-lived event. In most cases a tornado will not last more than a few minutes and won't be over any given spot for more than a few seconds.
What process keeps the funnel shape of a tornado?
The funnel of a tornado is caused by air decompressing and cooling as it enters the tornado, causing moisture to condense and form a cloud. As the air moves up it cools further, resulting in more condensation. This results in a cloud that is wider at the top than at the bottom.
Has a tornado ever hit an airport?
Yes. Tornadoes have hit airports. When this happens it often results in heavy damage to airplanes.
Which is the most important energy source in a tornado?
The most important energy source in a tornado is atmospheric instability, which results from a combination of warm, moist air near the surface and cool, dry air aloft. This creates an environment where air can rise rapidly and form a rotating updraft, fueling the development and intensity of the tornado.
Why is a tornado's funnel wide at the top and narrow at the bottom?
A tornado's funnel is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom due to the conservation of angular momentum. As air converges and rises into the tornado, conservation of angular momentum causes the rotating air to spin faster and become more tightly compressed at the base, leading to the funnel shape.
How do you say tornado in Portuguese?
tornado in Portuguese is tornado too
