What Is A Tornado Vortex?

The vortex of a tornado is the funnel like shape of the cloud of winds that if it goes above a certain velocity and reaches the ground then becomes a tornado. Generally the speed of tornado winds is 112 miles per hour though winds in excess of 200 mph are not unknown.

A tornado is typically formed when warm winds in a moist environment rise upwards; these updrafts as they are called sometimes form a cloud of swirling winds due to the change in pressure.

The center of the tornado is a low pressure area that acts like a vacuum pulling in the surrounding air within itself where it is cooled and condensation takes place; this starts a process of convection currents which gives further velocity to the tornado. In some cases the vortex or the funnel cloud that forms in the air does not reach the ground especially if there is a blanket of cold air in the higher strata of the atmosphere that retards the formation process.

A tornado is one of the most destructive forces of nature and often taking shelter in a strongly built structure is the only way to save oneself in case one is unlucky enough to be in the path of one.

A vortex is basically a mass that moves in a circular motion and this creates a vacuum in the center. The formation of this vacuum means that it every thing that comes into contact with the air moving in circles will be drawn towards the center of the tornado. The motion of air around a center is called a vortex with the highest speed and the lowest pressure in the center. The vortex posses a large amount of energy and the tornado ends when all of this energy has been dissipated. One tornado can have multiple vortices but these will quickly merge to form one vortex.

It is a very strong tornado, with heavy winds swirling around crazily, and it can reach to speed of 100mph and more

Well?!the one who is asking the question is me
