Question

drag each tile to the correct box.
arrange the steps in order to explain how a tornado forms.
an extreme difference in wind speed at
two elevations causes wind shear.
the column of air stretches to form a
tornado.
the difference in wind speed causes a
column of air to rotate horizontally.
a strong updraft connects the rotating air
with the clouds above.

Explanation:

To determine the order, we analyze the tornado formation process:

1. Wind Shear Initiation: Wind shear starts with a speed difference at two elevations.
2. Horizontal Rotation: Wind shear causes a column of air to rotate horizontally.
3. Updraft Connection: A strong updraft links this rotating air to clouds above.
4. Tornado Formation: The column stretches to form the tornado.

Answer:

1. An extreme difference in wind speed at two elevations causes wind shear.
2. The difference in wind speed causes a column of air to rotate horizontally.
3. A strong updraft connects the rotating air with the clouds above.
4. The column of air stretches to form a tornado.
