Etapas de los tornados
El ciclo de vida de un tornado normalmente consta de 3 etapas:
- Escenario 1 - Storm development. Sunshine heats the ground which in turn heats the air near ground level.
- Escenario 2 - Storm organisation
- Etapa 3 - Tornado formation
Day or night - Loud, continuous roar or rumble, which doesn't fade in a few seconds like thunder. Night - Small, bright, blue-green to white flashes at ground level near a thunderstorm (as opposed to silvery lightning up in the clouds). These mean power lines are being snapped by very strong wind, maybe a tornado.
- Etapa de remolino de polvo. El polvo se arremolina desde el suelo y crece hacia la nube en forma de embudo en el cielo.
- Organizing Stage. Downward extend of funnel and "connection" with dust-whirl on the ground.
- Etapa madura. Tornado en el suelo.
- Etapa de contracción.
- Etapa de decadencia.
And then actually even the smell of tornadoes - if you're in the right place, you get a strong odor of fresh-cut grass, or occasionally, if it's destroyed a house, natural gas. Sometimes you get that raw earth smell, similar to if you run a bulldozer over open land.
Un tornado es una columna de aire que gira violentamente y que está en contacto tanto con la superficie de la Tierra como con una nube cumulonimbus o, en casos raros, con la base de una nube cúmulo.
Tornadoes form when warm, humid air collides with cold, dry air. The denser cold air is pushed over the warm air, usually producing thunderstorms. The warm air rises through the colder air, causing an updraft. When it touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. Identifying nature's dangerous whirlwinds:
- Tornados de cuerdas.
- Tornados de cono.
- Tornados en cuña.
- Tornados multivórtices y satélites.
- Trombas marinas y trombas terrestres.
