Why does refraction occur? What causes the tornadoes of tornado alley? Why do waves refract? Why does light refract in a prism? Why are there different types of clouds? What causes a tornado? Why does water form droplets? How does wind shear affect thunderstorms?
FEMALE STUDENT: Since you almost always get lightning with thunderstorms, we can pick up VLF waves pretty often, right?You just have to wait until there's a thunderstorm… MALE PROFESSOR: Ah, do you? Have to wait?VLF receivers are very sensitive and VLF mwaves travel very far.So we can...
Why does the Sun look reddish at sunrise and sunset but not at noon? Why does lightning follow a jagged path? Why does high wind shear destroy hurricanes? Why do plants transpire more in the light? Explain. How does wind shear affect thunderstorms? What makes the sky appear blue? Why is...
Most thunderstorms occur later in the day because in the evening, the ground is at its hottest, following an entire day of sun heating, which causes warm air to rise and meet the relatively cooler air up in the atmosphere, leading to instability. Also, daytime heating enhances the air’s ...

economy. In fairness to academia, the discovery that the economy is a dissipative structure did not occuruntil 1996. It takes a long time for findings to filter through from one department to another. Even now, I am one of a very small number of people in the world writin...
Earthquakes, thunderstorms, lightning strikes, tornadoes, hurricanes, forest fires, and volcanic eruptions can strike anywhere at anytime killing thousands of people at a moment’s notice. And on top of all of the different natural disasters that can occur in this life, we also have to deal wi...
Even in the cruise, we are continuously making decisions — a good example is avoidingsevere weather. Thunderstorms are incredible feats of Mother Nature, bringing lightning, hail and severe turbulence. They can grow upwards of 50,000 feet — well above the altitudes airliners are capable of achi...
Squalls (more correctly known as “lake effect snow”) occur as cold air sweeps in over the ice-free Great Lakes in early winter or late fall in the wake of a major storm system. The cold, dry air “picks up” moisture from the, relatively, warm lakes, continues...
than seeing a wall of brown dust approaching in the distance, you will not have much warning before a dust storm arrives. However, they usually precede thunderstorms. If you see large thunderhead clouds and notice the wind is picking up, you can reasonably expect a dust storm to occur. ...
