What Causes a Tornado?

Spread The Viralist



The swirling, funnel-shaped winds of a tornado are easily recognizable—and they can be very dangerous. But what causes these unique and violent weather phenomena?

  1. 1:08 水平渦管が鉛直に立ち上がる時、回転方向の異なる渦の対が出来るけれども、片方が消失するのはなぜですか?
    When a horizontal vortex tube rises vertically, a pair of vortices with different directions of rotation is formed, but why does one disappear?

  2. Perhaps it was right to say that an tornado funnel did reach the ground for example
    A tornado that formed was in the May 12 2014 in Oklahoma City its also worth it to say that

  3. That’s really close for humans
    Hot air at ground level is the hottest dense air it rises like an escalator. It would carry on but the air mass in front is too much and turns it around , high pressure at the top of the escalator grabs it again , the circle is now complete.
    It starts spinnning in a circle .
    The hot air condensed and fuses and becomes visible ( storm cell)
    The cold wet air now spins faster turning to ice . The ice particles collide causing static electricity.
    (supercell)
    If you add electric to hot it gets hotter , if you add electric to cold it gets colder ,
    Heavyweight ice is now spinning high up . Due to molecular connectivity it spins the air mass below , but air is fiscous, so there is a delayed reaction so the storm is spinning Miles ahead of the lower air , when the lower air starts to spin it has alot of catching up to do, making it spin much more violently than high up.
    The tornado takes the air from ground level and uses it to disperse the kinetic energy by attaching protons , this switches off the air conditioning and the ice , eventually the storm ends and there’s no superheated air left at ground level . This stops the earth from dying of heat exposure, of course it also wipes out maybury avenue
