Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province, now has a "dragon sucking water" phenomenon. What conditions does this scene need?

Dragon water absorption is a kind of tornado, also known as waterspout. The tornado we usually say is actually a tornado, both of which are meteorological disasters. It's all produced by the vortex formed by air rotation, but it happens in different places. Tornadoes on land will suck away dust, leaves and sundries on the ground, while dragons will suck away water when they happen on the water surface. To form dragon water absorption, the following conditions are required:

1. Air forms a vortex.

When the dragon absorbs water, the air rotates rapidly around the central axis of the dragon's water absorption. Because the air pressure of the central axis is lower than the surrounding air, the surrounding air will fill the center while rotating. This phenomenon will form a tornado when it happens on land.

2. Is the water surface temperature at the incident site higher?

Dragon water absorption is generally high in summer, and the temperature is high in summer, which leads to the high water surface temperature where dragon water absorption occurs, and water changes from liquid to gas, that is to say, water becomes steam, and steam is relatively light, so it will spread upward. At this time, if the air above the water surface vortex, it will cause the air and water vapor to rise and rotate at the same time. When the speed of the two reaches a certain level, it will produce a huge suction visible to the naked eye to suck up the water. At this time, you can see a magnificent water column on the horizon.

3. The water is wide.

Where dragon water absorption occurs, the water surface is often very wide, that is to say, there is a lot of water. When the water is absorbed enough, a spectacular dragon water absorption phenomenon is formed, and the top of the water column is often connected with thick clouds.

Dragon water absorption and tornado are extreme natural phenomena. Although they look spectacular and make your heart beat faster, you should never underestimate them. The destructive power of these two things is amazing. Once they get involved in houses and crops, they will destroy our living environment and may get involved in people and cause casualties. So, when we see this phenomenon, don't go near, stay away, and stay in a safe area. Your curiosity may kill you. People in areas with high incidence of dragon water absorption should take preventive measures to protect themselves and their families.
