What Are Tornadoes ? Tornadoes are columns of violently rotating air developed in a convectional cloud and are in contact with the ground. Tornadoes usually.

Natures delivery system.  Thunderstorms are usually a rain shower in which thunder and lightning occur. INFO: Weather 101.

Weather Patterns Air Mass: A large body of air that has properties similar to the part of Earth’s surface over which it develops. Air masses cover thousands.

By. Amber Summey Science Mr.Shepard. Before thunderstorms develop, a change in wind direction and an increase in wind speed with increasing height creates.

Tornadoes Spinning Lows. Low Pressure System Warm air has low density and it rises (forced upwards by surrounding denser air) As the air rises it cools.

Tornadoes By Haleigh Miller Picture: Daphne zaras NOAA

What are Tornadoes? Tornadoes are destructive vortex's with violent rotating winds, with a funnel appearance extending from a thunderstorm cloud. info:Virginadot.org/travel /tornadoes

The Conditions Tornadoes form in unusually violent thunderstorms when there is sufficient instability and wind shear present in the lower atmosphere. Instability refers to unusually warm and humid conditions in the lower atmosphere, and possibly cooler than usual conditions in the upper atmosphere. info:Virginadot.org/travel/t ornadoes

Time frame for a tornadoes Tornadoes usually last just a few minutes. The shortest last for only a few seconds, but the longest (and most dangerous) can last for over an hour (but these are extremely rare)! info:Enchantedlearning.com

What time of the year do they occur Tornadoes can occur at any time of the year. In the southern states, peak tornado occurrence is in March through May, while peak months in northern states are during the summer. Tornadoes are most likely between 3 and 9 p.m. but have been known to occur at all hours info:Virginadot.org/tr avel/tornadoes

Damage to property F0: Gale tornado (40-72 mph). Light damage. F1: Moderate tornado ( mph). Moderate damage. F2: Significant tornado ( mph). Considerable damage. F3: Severe tornado ( mph). Severe damage. F4: Devastating tornado ( mph). Devastating damage. F5: Incredible tornado ( mph). Incredible damage info:Virginadot.org/travel/to rnadoes
