Which processes are associated with the formation of tornados?
check all that apply.
a) water droplets freeze, giving off energy.
b) the storm begins to rotate around a central eye.
c) a funnel cloud forms that reaches down to the ground.
d) warm air rises, resulting in a decrease in air pressure.
e) a cold, dry air mass interacts with a warm, moist air mass.

c) A funnel cloud forms that reaches down to the ground

e) A cold, dry air mass interacts with a warm, moist air mass

Explanation:

The tornadoes occur as a result of the interaction between two different sets of air masses. One of the air masses has to be continental one, cold and dry, while the other one needs to be a maritime one, warm and moist. When they collide, the air starts to spin really quickly, and a funnel cloud forms that manages to reach the ground. The rising air within the updraft is tilting the rotating air from horizontal to vertical. The rotation of the air masses reaches very high speed, which makes a very dangerous natural hazard as it manages to destroy most of the things that are on its way.

A funnel cloud forms that reaches down to the ground.

Warm air rises, resulting in a decrease in air pressure.

A cold, dry air mass interacts with a warm, moist air mass.

b is the right answer for this question.
