Answer to Question #312660 in English for Margie Rivera

Question

A tornado is a powerful, twisting windstorm. It begins high in the air,

among the winds of a giant storm cloud. People who have watched a tornado’s

howling winds reach down from the sky have said it’s the most frightening thing

they have ever seen. In some parts of the United States, these windstorms are

called twisters or cyclones.

Answer 1

A tornado is a mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds, which have the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud and advancing beneath a large storm system. Tornados are frequently followed by heavy rains while at times it occurs independent of any rains. Some examples of tornadoes include multiple vortex tornado, land spout, cone tornado, wedge tornado, and non-supercell tornados. Tornadoes form when warm, humid air collides with cold dry air making the denser cold air to be pushed over the warm air, producing thunderstorm. The warm air rises through the colder air causing an updraft.
