how tornado works?

Answer 1

G'day KK,

Thanks for your question.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air which is in contact with both a cumulonimbus (or, in rare cases, cumulus) cloud base and the surface of the earth. Tornadoes can come in many shapes, but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, with the narrow end touching the earth. Often, a cloud of debris encircles the lower portion of the funnel.

Tornadoes can be the most destructive storms on earth. Most have winds of 110 mph (175 km/h) or less, are approximately 250 feet (75 meters) across, and travel a mile (1.6 km) or more before dissipating. However, some tornadoes can have winds of more than 300 mph (480 km/h), be more than a mile (1.6 km) across, and stay on the ground for dozens of miles (more than 100 kilometers).

They have been observed on every continent except Antarctica; however, a significant percentage of the world's tornadoes occur in the United States. This is mostly due to the unique geography of the country, which allows the conditions which breed strong, long-lived storms to occur many times a year. Other areas which often experience tornadoes are south-central Canada, northwestern Europe, east-central South America, South Africa, and south-central Asia.

I enclose sources for your reference.

Answer 2

FORMATION OF A TORNADO...

Even though the formation of a tornado is not well known. The tornado generally forms in a huge, rotating thunderstorm called a super cell. Super cell thunderstorms form where cold, dry, polar air meets warm, moist, tropical air. When this happens the warm updraft punches through the overlay, stable layer and continues upward into a zone of cool, dry air. This results in producing a powerful motion vortex. This is how the tornado destroys so powerfully.

Answer 3

Warm air rises up through a cold air mass formed within super cell thunderstorm. The air begins to rotate as it rises up through the cold air mass. As it speeds up the ground particles and surrounding cloud formations enclose the sweeping air to for the tornado. Then...get out of the way.

Sorry! Can't help you there! You'd have to research that on the Internet.
