We are so glad that you have never been in a tornado.We're so glad you shared what you thought about the video, Joe. (If you visualize this, it is rotating clockwise as you look northward... horizontally, as the stronger winds at about 2000 to 5000 feet make the vortex spin "over the top". This means that most tornados will spin clockwise in the southern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the north because that is the way the thunderstorms spin.The large majority of the tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise (cyclonically), but about 1 in 100 tornadoes spin clockwise. Subscribe to Wonderopolis and receive Although Speaking of twisting ominously, some of our Wonder Friends have been WONDERing about how twisters So, the simple answer to our Wonder Friends' question is no, not all tornadoes In a nutshell, the Earth's rotation around its axis causes winds in the northern Tornadoes are too small and begin and end too quickly to be directly influenced by the Coriolis We're glad you took today's Wonder of the Day for a whirl. We thought the dramatic music in the tornado video was perfect! "The farthest south we have seen a hurricane or tropical storm form in the Atlantic is about 7 or 8 degrees north of the equator," Landsea said. We hope you achieve your dreams!As in a painting? Have fun!Yeah, we definitely hope we don't see a tornado up close. The video and article both taught me about: Tornadoes can get really big bigger then I thought also they can have lightning and thunder also wonderopolis taught me about a lot of vocabulary words that I didn't know like "ominous". What do you WONDER about when you think of tornadoes?Thanks for visiting and WONDERing with us today, lala.Hi, kayleigh! Global Business and Financial News, Stock Quotes, and Market Data and Analysis. We're so glad you took the time to share some of your learning from this Wonder with us today. I have never seen or been in a tornado.

The large majority of the tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise (cyclonically), but about 1 in 100 tornadoes spin clockwise. It did damage,” said Nolan. We have a plan in place in case a tornado is near Wonderopolis.

cool And of course I learned what the Cooriolis effect is. I learned that tornados usally rotate counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. We appreciate you stopping by and WONDERing with us!

:)Hi, Wonder Friend! We're thankful that scientists are developing ways to detect tornadoes faster, so people can get to safe places.Hi, Lenny! We agree, the video is cool!We agree that tornadoes can be very scary, Adeline. As the air rises, it leaves an area of low pressure near the surface of the water. Finally I learned what ominously means. In the Northern Hemisphere, winds moving north are diverted eastward, and winds moving south are diverted westward. Storms in the Southern hemisphere (like cyclones) rotate clockwise and it all has to do with something called the Coriolis effect.

Wiki User.

A tornado -- in the Northern Hemisphere -- usually spins counterclockwise but on rare occasions it can twist clockwise and is called an anticyclonic tornado. There are more than 1,500 Wonders on the site. But occasionally, it would seem, northern hemisphere tornadoes do rotate clockwise: S. Flora's book "Tornadoes of the United States" cites an 1890 article in the American Meteorological Journal.

However(and they actually showed one and mentioned how rare they are) there are instances of tornadoes turning opposite to the norm...it has to do with wind direction when it is forming...And they did say it is really rare for it to happen.How do you think about the answers? We're glad you liked this Wonder! Do tornados spin in the same direction????

Sometimes we encourage our Wonder Friends to go on their own Wonder Journey! and on do tornados twist in the same direction? Sometimes when you plan ahead things don't seem so scary.Thank you for your question about tornadoes Wonder Friend! In the Southern Hemisphere, winds traveling toward the equator will move eastward, and winds traveling toward the South Pole will curve west. Thanks wonderopolis for teaching me all those things!!!!!!

If there were no Coriolis effect, air would simply rush into the low pressure center, "since nature abhors a vacuum, and a low pressure area is a partial vacuum," said Chris Landsea, a Science and Operations Officer at the National Hurricane Center.

We're glad you liked it! One thing I learned from reading the article is:That it depends what hemisphere your in to find out which direction tornadoes rotate in. I wonder what type of job it is if you study tornadoes up close. A variety of factors influence how hurricanes form. Does your family have a plan? We want everyone to always keep WONDERing and learning!

It's so dangerous but exciting! THIS GAVE ME NIGHTMARES LAST NIGHT NEVER SAY YES TO SERCH TORNADO FOR A TORNADO OR WATCH ONE THERE SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When these winds collide, they will swirl clockwise in the south, and counterclockwise in the north.

All I know is that tornadoes are very dangerous and if one comes where I live......I would be very scared!!

Thanks for visiting Wonderopolis! Thank you for visiting!The video was really cool, Wonder Friend Keoni.
