Thunderstorm

(How Thunderstorms Form). The sound that occurs after lightning is thunder. The sound waves of thunder don’t move as fast as lightning, which is why it isn’t heard until after lightning is seen. Thunder is caused by hot air expanding and releasing shock waves. Once the air moving downward during the storm brings cooler air into the cloud and causes warm air to no longer rise, the thunderstorm dissipates. Not all thunderstorms are the same and some are classified as severe. A severe thunderstorm has

Tornado Tornadoes are usually caused when different temperatures and humidity meet, from there, they form mainly of thunderstorms. In the United States, warm, wet winds travel north from the Gulf of Mexico in the spring and summer, then they meet cold, dry, south-moving Canadian fronts. Most tornadoes occur in the United States, usually in flat dry terrarians. Not all tornadoes are visible, but their high wind speeds and rapid rotation often form a visible funnel of condensed water. The direction

Supercell Thunderstorm: A Supercell Thunderstorm is an extraordinary and uncommon type of storm that can carry on for hours. These storms are responsible for most all of the momentous windstorms and hailstones, greater the size of a golf ball. Other referred names are called Rotating Thunderstorms. Supercells are regularly secluded from other rainstorms, and can change the weather conditions up to 35 kilometres away. With the severe climate, these Supercells are also well-known to produce dangerous

the question is what dynamics create severe thunderstorms, and the safety precautions that the public need to be aware of. The National Weather Service defines a severe thunderstorm as having large hail at least three-quarter inches and/or damaging winds, at least 58 mph. Thunderstorms are most likely in the spring and summer months and occur in the late afternoon and at night in the Plains states. Three basic ingredients are required for a thunderstorm to form: moisture, rising unstable air (air

THUNDERSTORMS-Mother Natures unhealthiest weather condition! How Thunderstorms affects the human body A thunderstorm is only considered a thunderstorm when lightning is present. These storms can play an important role in physical pain and mental suffering. Lightning is made from cold air and warm air inside a cloud that meets. The warm air has water droplets that goes to the top of the cloud and the cold air has ice crystals goes to the bottom of the cloud. When a storm forms the droplets and crystals

Thunderstorms Long ago, before rain, humans’ only source of water was from lakes and oceans, they used it to water their crops. They would need to walk miles and carry buckets of water back to their farms. After a while the lakes and oceans dried up and there was no water left in the world. The gods and goddesses in Mount Olympus saw all the empty lakes and oceans and decided that they had to do something. Each god/goddess had their own idea about how to get enough water for the people, they were

Renee Penzkover Survey of Meteorology: Final Project Describe why ordinary thunderstorms have a short lifetime and seldom reach severe conditions Thunderstorms are a weather phenomenon that requires a massive amount of atmospheric energy. This energy is released when saturated air rises rapidly into the atmosphere, occasionally rising so quickly they briefly overshoot the tropopause and penetrate the stratosphere. They not only require massive amounts of energy but also specific environmental conditions

Each year about a thousand tornadoes hit the United States, much more than any other country. Tornadoes are very dangerous in multiple ways! A tornado is a spinning cloud that has a funnel shape. They can have very rapid and high wind speeds. They sound very powerful! A tornado is made up of many factors. This paper will discuss where most tornadoes occur. How a tornado forms. The various wind speeds of a tornado. Last but not least, the sound of tornadoes. Most tornadoes occur in Tornado Alley

at sea but happens very quickly. One Direction Follow- a nickname for a long wind storm with rain and thunderstorms moving in a straight line, rapidly. If convection didn’t take place, the planet would be very dry with no plants, trees, and forests. This would lead to animals going extinct too because they have no habitat. Without convection taking place, the planet wouldn't have any thunderstorms and/or rain. Since convection is the vertical transport of heat and moisture in the atmosphere, clouds
