get inside the car kitty we need to

hurry up we need to get out of here

quickly

it's coming it's coming

what

the tornado

hey friends you two quickly take shelter

because in today's episode we are

entering the eye of the storm

that is

the tornado

zoom in

the weather has many sides sometimes

cool sometimes hot sometimes pleasant

and sometimes extreme creating

thunderstorms cyclones floods etc

and one of the most extreme

brutal

and potent forms of weather is a type of

a storm we call

tornadoes

a tornado which is also known as

twisters are rapidly rotating columns of

air that reach from a storm cloud to the

earth's surface and when tornadoes are

formed they are a brutal force to reckon

with that can tear apart everything that

comes on its way causing massive

destruction to the surroundings

it's because of this very nature of

tornadoes that scientists have shown a

keen interest in it but the formation of

a tornado is so complex that scientists

still don't completely understand it

as conditions that give rise to one

tornado

does not necessarily be responsible for

forming another one

but what we know so far is that a

tornado is formed under a powerful and

big thunderstorm called supercells

when cold dry air moving from one

direction meets warm moist air coming

from another direction it creates

instability in the atmosphere

and as the cold air is dense or heavier

it slides down under the warm air and

pushes it upwards very fast

the faster moving air begins to spin and

roll over the slower wind creating an

invisible horizontal spinning effect

like a cylinder in the lower atmosphere

as the winds continue to build up

stronger and more powerful warm air

forces the spinning winds vertically

upward causing an updraft

and with an increase in momentum and

speed the spinning winds create a vortex

now the wind has enough energy to fuel

itself and eventually keep going to form

a tornado

and when the pointed part of the tornado

touches the earth's surface from the

cloud it is often referred to as a

touchdown

and then it goes and does what it does

best

that is destroy everything along its

path

give your time

did you know the duration of tornadoes

and the distance they travel varies

most of the tornadoes last only less

than 10 minutes and travel around 5 to

10 kilometers before vanishing

but in some cases however they can last

several hours and cross distances over

150 kilometers

also the deadliest tornado ever recorded

was in bangladesh in 1989

as it sailed through the dhaka region of

the country

more than 20 villages were destroyed and

around 1

300 people were killed

it's question time

here are the winners of the previous

episode

remember my friends

tornadoes are nature's way of showing

anger and there is nothing we can do to

stop it

but if you ever come across one then

quickly run to a basement or get under a

sturdy piece of furniture like a table

and crouch down on your knees and

protect your head with your arms and

stay inside the house until it's safe to

come out

hope you enjoyed today's episode until

next time it's me dr binox zooming out
