The hops occur when the vortex is disturbed. You've probably seen that it is easy to disturb a vortex in the tub, but then it will reform. The same thing can happen to a tornado's vortex, causing it to collapse and reform along its path. Smaller tornadoes might only thrive for a ...
Not included in the CJJP, but closely aligned with it, is the Stop Climate Polluter Handouts Act. Many supporters view it, in particular, as a companion bill to the Climate Superfund Act, arguing that New York shouldn’t be providing huge subsidies to an industry that is causing so much ...

However, if the runs look different in different places then meteorologists understand something in the atmosphere is causing the weather to misbehave. There is also the aspect of total lightning detection. Since high frequencies of in-cloud lightning can be a warning sign a tornado has formed or...
A levee is typically little more than a mound of less permeable soil, like clay, wider at the base and narrower at the top. These mounds run in a long strip, sometimes for many miles, along a river, lake or ocean. Levees along the Mississippi River may range from 10 to 20 feet (3...
You may have heard that increasing global warming is causing climate change which is responsible for extreme weather events such as longer and more frequent droughts, heat waves, heavy downpours, tornadoes, tropical cyclones, and floods. This climate change poses challenges for governme...
Some people can’t see differences in colours– so calledcolour blindness– due to a defect or absence of the cellsin the retinathat are sensitive to high levels of light: thecones. But the distribution and density of these ...
Why is wind effective in causing erosion in deserts? How is wind shear measured for turbines? How are leeward and windward factors important in desertification? How does wind speed influence the Coriolis force? Why can wind erosion carry loess faster than sand? What is the primary cause of win...
Several large fires—like the LNU Lightning Complex Fire, CZU Lightning Complex Fire, and the Hennessey Fire —are burning across California. What's causing them?
2024 tornadoes struck southern Ohio including Dayton. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and its museum were not spared. Damage was extensive. The National Weather Service describes it as a direct hit. Many historically significant aircraft were damaged, and may be beyond repair. While this is a sad...
