Are there any man-made factors in the formation of tornadoes?

Question

For example, we might have factories releasing smoke particles which helps form the tornadoes or whatever.

Answer 1

There was an article in the Wichita Eagle recently about a study regarding wet springs, the growth of winter wheat and the formation of tornados in KS and Nebraska.  It was very interesting and seemed to indicate there was a correlation between winter wheat growth and where the lines of tornados formed.  Winter wheat is very good and taking moisture from the soil and putting it in the atmosphere, increasing favorable conditions for the formation of tornados.

Answer 2

There is a formula that shows  where the monster in a storm comes from. If u have a tea pot on the stove at sea level it will only get to 212 deg. F. Each cc of water that is evaporated will absorb 60 calories of heat. On the reverse side when a cc of water condenses due to the cold front the 60 calories come back as heat to create an updraft. There can be millions of cc condensed suddenly by a severe cold front.

Answer 3

you're right:  whatever

Answer 4

In order to answer this correctly, one would have to be able to prove without a doubt (not theorize) that man-made pollution has a direct and significant effect on the strength of thunderstorms. At that, there are too many other factors that affect tornado development (wind shear, moisture content, the temperature in the different levels of the atmosphere) to really say for sure if pollution or anything else plays a role in it.

(tl;dr:) In short, even with all of the global warming THEORIES out there, no direct PROOF has been found that anything man-made affects severe weather of any sort.

Answer 5

no, tornadoes are completely natural.

however human activity is increasing their strength and size.
