from the ground into the storm. This warm air carries moisture with it.
Second, we have cool, dry air coming in from another direction. This cool air is denser and wants to sink.
Now, when these two air masses meet, they create a lot of wind and turbulence. The warm, moist air wants to rise, and the cool, dry air wants to sink. This clash in air masses causes a rotating updraft to form within the supercell thunderstorm.
As this rotating updraft tightens and stretches, it can eventually reach the ground, creating a tornado. So, in simple terms, tornadoes form when warm, moist air collides with cool, dry air, creating a spinning column of wind within a supercell thunderstorm.
I hope that helps you understand how tornadoes form, Ryan!
Here are the key facts extracted from the provided text:
1. The experiment involves testing various fruits and vegetables to see if they can power an alarm clock.
2. The fruits and vegetables tested include potatoes, apples, avocados, tomatoes, mangoes, lemons, bananas, strawberries, grapes, and watermelons.
3. Potatoes and apples successfully powered the alarm clock.
4. The experiment involves using magnesium and copper wires to complete a circuit.
5. Avocado, tomato, and watermelon were mentioned as fruits/vegetables to be tested.
6. The experiment explains that the potato clock works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy.
7. Grapes were mentioned as being powerful in the experiment.
8. The text also mentions an unrelated experiment involving pencils poking through a Ziploc bag, making tornadoes in a bottle, and explaining tornado formation during a thunderstorm.
