What is the process involved in forming a supercell thunderstorm?

Question

Please help! I have a science project due and I am not sure of part of this process.......thanks so much 10 pts to best answer!!

Answer 1

Let me explane. . . .

Deadly and short-lived, tornadoes are an unusual weather phenomenon, as you probaly know. The source of tornadoes are large, severe thunderstorms.Their formation usually starts with warm, moist air encountering a higher layer of cool, dry air. To start a tornadoe formation, wind velocity needs to increase. As warm air rises and condenses , the wind direction and speed fluctuate. Now the winds are creating a horizantal roll that is being fed by the increasing difference of hot\moist and cold\dry air.This will eventually turn the Supercell into a mesocyclone. As the ground tempature begins heating the air from below, the already warm\moist air begins expanding upwards at over 150 mph. Now that the warm tempatures have pushed a hole through the colder air,the rotating horizantal wind system is pulled upward and may be forced into a vertical orientation, settling the stage for the creation of a mesocyclone. Moisture condendes into rain and begins to fall, pushing cool air down. Falling cool air can be cycled back into the Supercell. If a storm is strong enough, it creates a rotating wall cloud, wich has not touched ground yet. The rotating wall cloud finally extends to the ground, forming a tornadoe.
