CHE SIGNIFICA TORNADO IN INGLESE
Tornado
Un tornado è una colonna di aria che si trova in contatto con la superficie della terra e con una nube di cumulonimbus o, in rari casi, la base di una nuvola cumulata. Essi sono spesso indicati come twisters o cicloni, anche se la parola ciclone è utilizzato nella meteorologia, in senso più ampio, per indicare qualsiasi circolazione chiusa a bassa pressione. I tornado vengono in molte forme e dimensioni, ma sono tipicamente sotto forma di un imbuto visibile di condensa, il cui fine strato tocca la terra e spesso è circondato da una nuvola di detriti e polvere. La maggior parte dei tornado ha velocità del vento inferiori a 110 miglia all'ora, sono circa 250 metri di distanza, e viaggiare a poche miglia prima di dissipare. I tornado più estremi possono raggiungere velocità del vento di oltre 300 miglia all'ora, si allungano più di due miglia e rimangono a terra per decine di miglia. Vari tipi di tornado comprendono il landspout, più tornado vortex e waterspout. Le acque di vento sono caratterizzate da una corrente a vento a forma di imbuto a spirale, collegandosi ad una grande cumulo o nube di cumulonimbus.
