What is a ghost tornado? Is there a ghost blowing a whirlwind on the ground? How did ghost dragons form?

Ghost dragons are actually the common name of tornadoes. In some remote rural areas, people always think that the cyclones on the ground and the continuous crossing of various houses or the floating of leaves on the ground are caused by ghosts, so they are often called ghost dragons or ghost dragons, which is actually the same as tornadoes we often see.

What kind of tornado is a ghost tornado? A tornado is what we call a tornado. Tornadoes are caused by the swirling motion of the atmosphere and often appear in unstable weather with strong convection. Most of them are spiral, from small to large, and some are only a few meters in diameter, which will not cause much harm to people's lives. But there are tornadoes with a diameter of 10 km, which are very destructive and often destroy or tear down houses or trees.

Is it a ghost to blow a whirlwind on the ground? In some weather, we often see some leaves or plastic bags blown into the air by the wind, and they begin to circle. This time is actually caused by a cyclone in the air. This weather condition is called dust wind, not ghost. Like tornado, it is a whirlwind, but the scale of dust wind is generally small, mainly due to the strong flow of wind caused by dry air on the ground and uneven solar radiation, which is also commonly known as cyclone.

How did ghost dragons form? A ghost tornado is a tornado. Its formation is caused by the unstable flow of the atmosphere. Generally, when the wet airflow in the atmosphere meets the cold and dry airflow, the wet airflow rises continuously, which is heated due to the high radiation temperature on the ground, further promoting its rise, thus gradually generating positively charged clouds, attracting negatively charged airflow on the ground, causing local depression in this area and forming cyclones under the influence of geostrophic deviation.

Tornadoes often occur in the central part of the United States, so many "wind chasers" were born. They will constantly analyze the weather conditions to determine and track the location of tornadoes and capture first-hand tornado information. Usually, such photos look very shocking, just like the doomsday super thunderstorm.
