What is a tornado? A tornado is a violent rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornados are particularly associated with severe thunderstorms because stronger storms make it easier for tornados to form. During a supercell storm‚ characterized by powerful updrafts‚ warm‚ less heavy air begins to rise and meets colder and heavier air above it. Wind shears make tornadoes easier to form. A wind shear is when a warmer air collides with a colder air. Faster air begins to

In the video Blue Gold‚ the water cycle isn’t no longer working because of pollution‚ over pumping and using it‚ and rich people or company privatizing water usage to people.

Hi my name is Emily Davis. In this essay I will be telling you about tornados. Most tornadoes are form from thunderstorms. You need warm‚ moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool‚ dry air from Canada. When these two air masses meet‚ they create instability in the atmosphere. Then‚ when it reaches the ground it is called a tornado. It is not fully understood about how exactly tornadoes form‚ grow and die. Tornado researchers are still trying to solve the tornado puzzle‚ but for every piece that

Although it may seem strange‚ the desert is the home to many plant and animal wildlife. Of course‚ to survive the hot and dry conditions‚ these wildlife have to be specially adapted to capture as much food and water as possible to sustain themselves. In the desert‚ it can get as hot as over 30 degrees in the day and below 16 degrees at night! This project will further explore a few of the plants and animals‚ as well some of their adaptations.

Modern-Day Plague Deforestation is clearing Earth’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area‚ but swaths the size of Panama are lost each and every year. The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. Forests are cut down for many reasons‚ but most of them are related to money or to people’s need to provide for their families.The biggest

Describe the path a molecule of water might follow through the hydrologic cycle from the ocean to land and then back again. The water evaporates from all over the world but let’s say it is evaporates from the oceans to form clouds that are moved over land by many of winds. The rainfall then brings it to earth where it will return to oceans by creeks to river‚ and some lakes then back to the
