Cumulonimbus cloud

A waterspout is a tall rotating column of air that is connected to a cumuliform cloud over a large body of water such as the ocean or lake. Waterspouts can sometimes be dangerous to ocean vessels, especially when the waterspouts are of the supercell variety. Waterspouts of the supercell variety share the same formation as the land tornado. Waterspouts not of the supercell variety can start off on the ocean and then move onto land, this can become dangerous if the weather allows the waterspout to…

find out how little the children knew about clouds. Mrs. Ramsey focused on the whole group approach, she give them definitions, names, ideas, and reasons. During the lesson Mrs. Ramsey saw that a majority of the students were struggling understanding the concept. She immediately stopped the lesson and brought a diagram up to show the students. After that we took a trip to the backyard were students look at the clouds and developed the concept of the clouds they were looking at. During the…

with the ground or the convection zone. This particular part of the tornado is called the photosphere. The photosphere creates majority of the damage that is cause by the atmospheric hazard. The tornado also maintains contact with the clouds. Usually a cumulonimbus cloud which is a…

Tornadoes are one of Mother Nature’s most violent of all atmospheric forms. A tornado is a column of vertically spinning air originating from a cumulonimbus cloud that can contact the ground and cause catastrophic damage. The deadliest tornado in U.S. history to date is called the Tri-state Tornado. It occurred in 1925, sweeping through three states for three and a half hours. It killed 689 people and injured 2,000. After many hours of research I have found several interesting facts about…

deep lights of the milky way fall on the harbor. Far off on the horizon large grey clouds emerged with a threatening tone. On any other night I would've sat in the rickety rocking chair on the patio and watched the dynamic sky come to life… but this night was different. I continued driving down the never-ending curvy roads of Acadia National Forrest. I glanced up through the sunroof and saw the large cumulonimbus clouds swallow the glinting stars and all their wondrous light. Part of me was…

INTRODUCTION: Air transport provides fastest mode of journey over land and sea.in the modern times, when time has become the most valuable asset, air transport plays a huge role in the transport of cargo and passengers.it has also overcome the barrier of accessibility as it follows the shortest and direct route as sea, mountains and forests do not come in its way. But having said that, air transport has its inherent disadvantages.it is uncertain and unreliable as it is controlled by weather…

towards the centre. The centre of a tropical cyclone is called the eye, and this is where the conditions are generally calm. The most extreme conditions occur in the area surround the eye, called the eyewalls. Rapidly rising air results in huge cumulonimbus clouds, causing heavy rain and thunderstorms. The further inland a tropical cyclones travels, the harsher the conditions a country will experience. This greatens the impacts of the cyclones on countries.(L. Dilley, J. Earle, K. Euston-Brown,…
