    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.

    The correct answer is Tornado.

    🔑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.
