What is a tornado?

This phenomenon is common in the central regionsUnited States, in India and some other countries. The tornado is formed in storm clouds from the pressure drop, extending downwards to the ground. In some sources, there is a definition of a tornado, such as a water vortex.
About the differences between a tornado and a tornado, read below.

Description of the phenomenon

At the surface, the diameter of the vortex can beabout a hundred meters. The wind speed sometimes reaches five hundred kilometers per hour. Inside the pipe there is a low pressure area where dust or particles of water are drawn. Around the vortex is also usually blowing a very strong wind, which with a root pulls out trees and destroys buildings. The average duration of a water vortex is not high - up to five minutes. But even during this time he manages to inflict enormous damage.

Tornado and Tornado

The tornado, as a phenomenon, can be caused by the ascendingair flows with a strong heating of the earth's surface. Circulation of air along the periphery and forms a movement directed upward. The tornado acts only above the land and consists of dust, particles of earth and objects.

What is a tornado, as a phenomenon? It originates from the cloud from above (lightning) and descends downward in the form of a tube, making inside the rotational movement. It occurs over the water masses, not far from the coast (especially in hot weather).

A dangerous phenomenon of nature

Tornadoes - especially in the US - natural disaster,leading to many disruptions. There were times when cars, boats, people, houses got into the funnels. In these countries, the tornado is under the scrutiny of science, which has learned to predict and anticipate the action of natural phenomena.
