Question: A natural phenomenon wherein a dark funnel shaped cloud reaches the ground from the sky is
Options:
Tornado
Cyclone
Tsunami
More than one of the above.
🔑Key Points:
-The tornado takes the shape of a dark funnel when it reaches the ground.
-A tornado is a fast-moving column of air in contact with both the Earth's surface and a cumulonimbus cloud.
-They are often seen as a condensation funnel rising from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud, with a layer of swirling debris and dust beneath it.
-Different forms of tornadoes include tornadoes, waterspouts, and landspouts.
-Tornadoes can be detected using pulse-Doppler radar, by detecting patterns in the velocity and reflectivity data.
🔴Additional Information:
-Cyclones are caused by atmospheric disturbances around a low-pressure area, which are characterized by rapid and often disruptive air circulation.
-A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, typically an ocean or a large lake.
-An earthquake is the shaking of the Earth's surface, resulting in a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
