Tornadoes vs Hurricanes: Vortexes in Action

Did you know that tornadoes and hurricanes share a lot in common? Not only are they dynamically destructive weather events, but they both are formed by a mass of air that rotates in a circular motion. When a bunch of air or water rotates like this, it’s called a vortex. In a vortex, the fluid on the outside has to move faster than the fluid on the inside in order to keep up. That’s what produces the super fast winds in tornadoes and hurricanes. I was wondering if we could make a simple example of each to see how they move on a small scale. Well, you can use a a couple of bottles and a plastic connector to make a tornado tube that rotates pretty well. And it’s even easier to make a cool model of a hurricane just stirring up some water and then adding some food coloring. Good luck with your storm making.

Whoever made that first animation has clearly NEVER seen a tornado

[rollinz]

That first clip is so beautiful I would walk right in it

[spaceboy]

*tornado spawns from the ground*
law of physics : congrats you broke me

And since hurricanes have the perfect conditions for supercells and severe thunderstorms to form, tornadoes very commonly form in hurricanes, tropical storms and tropical depressions, this is why during tropical cyclones, the storm prediction center will always show a slight (15%) or enhanced (30%), chance of severe thunderstorms.

I accidentally released My mini hurricane. And that's how hurricane Ian was created

[True-gentaleman]

How do you do that with a mesuring cup

[CamacraftHDT]

Bro tornados do NOT form like that (the first clip)

[Moonie_bat_Me_Meow_zeow]

Guys your lucky your not in Florida because if your in Florida then a hurricane could come. If some of you guys are in Florida and the hurricane comes you have to leave recently. But idk where a tornadoes comes from maybe America

Mega, geht Spears auch in Deutschland?

[LavenderlilacYOUTUBE]

The way that tornado formed at the beginning scares me 😐

DID YOU KNOW THAT A HURRICANE IS THE REASON OF TORNADOES SOMETIMES!? The more you know!

[Terraquest-adventures]

I thought they where big towers of wind that just look cool
I thought they were called eruptions

[quarijohnson]

Ah the tornado.. that sprouts from the ground and up

[wm]

I don't need to storm make lol I living right by Lake Erie I see Waterspouts every year lol

[bundlesofbunny]

Whoever made the first clip knows nothing ab tornadoes

[Cog-pdqn]

What? The eye wall has the fastest winds.

[Random_avgeek-wf]

Plot twist: the vortex that was in the bottle and the glass container were hurricanes because tornadoes form on land and hurricanes form in oceans

[ericafraley]

Guys I just learned smth new tornadoes start from the ground

[Stormchazer]

I mean, tornadoes and hurricanes do have some things in common, but comparing a tornado to a hurricane, is like comparing a leaf to a tree.

Edit: Apparently I'm not allowed to point out that tornadoes are much smaller in scale than hurricanes. Thanks, weather nazis.
