Geography 1.How are Funnel clouds different from Water spouts? one touches down on the ground, the other touches down on water niether one touches down on the ground or water both touch down on water one does not touch the ground, the other touches down on water2.Why does lightning occur? (Mark all that apply) Enormous electrical discharges buildup of electrical energy polarity between areas within a cumulonimbus cloud buildup of electrical energy polarity between the cloud and the ground
3.When a tornado is just about to form, what happens right before a tornado hits the ground? The air takes a "rolling pin" formation The rolling air takes a vertical axis Surface winds slow due to ground friction A tornado can descend from the mesocyclone
4.What is the scientific term for a thundercloud? Mesocyclone Cloud Rain Cloud Cumulonimbus cloud Stratus Cloud
5.What causes thunder? steep pressure gradients hail formation tornados lightning
6.What is the least powerful type of tornado? F1 1.0 0 F0
7.You are outside playing soccer when you hear thunder in the distance. What should you do? Leave the field because you are in striking distance of lightning. Continue playing soccer, until you can see lightning you are not in danger. Take immediate cover under a tree, umbrella, or metal canopy. Lie down face first in the nearest ditch or low lying area.

Explanation / Answer
Answer to question 1
The difference between funnel clouds and water sprouts is one does not touch the ground the other touches down on water. Funnel clouds if they reach the surface ground they are called tornado and if they touch down on water they are known as watersprouts.
Answer to question 2.
Lightning occurs both by build up of electrical energy polarity between areas within a cloud and also by build up of electrical energy polarity between clouds and the ground.
Answer to question 3
When a tornado is just about to form, right before it hits the ground the rolling air takes a vertical axis.
Answer to question 4:
The scientific term for thunderclouds is cumulonimbus cloud.
Answer to question 5
lightning causes thunder
Answer to question 6
F0 is the least powerful tornado according to the F-scale by Dr. Theodore Fujita in 1971
Answer to question 7.
If we are ouside during thunderstorm, we should leave the field because we are striking distance of the lightning.Lightning can shock people 100 feet away from its striking point. finding shelter is the best thing to do.
Answer to question 8;
Tropical cyclones rotate counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. This is due to the coriolis force.
