O QUE SIGNIFICA TORNADO EM INGLÊS
Tornado
Um tornado é uma coluna de ar que roda violentamente que está em contato com a superfície da terra e uma nuvem de cumulonimbus ou, em casos raros, a base de uma nuvem cumulus. Muitas vezes, eles são chamados de twisters ou ciclones, embora a palavra ciclone seja usada na meteorologia, em um sentido mais amplo, para designar qualquer circulação fechada de baixa pressão. Os furacões vêm em muitas formas e tamanhos, mas são tipicamente na forma de um funil de condensação visível, cuja extremidade estreita toca a Terra e muitas vezes é cercada por uma nuvem de escombros e poeira. A maioria dos tornados tem velocidades de vento inferiores a 110 milhas por hora, tem cerca de 250 pés de diâmetro, e percorre algumas milhas antes de se dissipar. Os tornados mais extremos podem atingir velocidades de vento de mais de 300 milhas por hora, esticar mais de duas milhas de distância e ficar no chão por dezenas de quilômetros. Vários tipos de tornados incluem o landspout, o tornado vortex múltiplo e o waterspout. Waterspouts são caracterizados por uma corrente de vento em espiral em forma de funil, conectando-se a uma grande nuvem cumulus ou cumulonimbus.
