Erhai Lake in Dali, Yunnan Province is now a dragon water-absorbing wonder. What is the reason for the miracle of dragon absorbing water?

Dragons suck water because tornadoes form or move over lakes or oceans, so tornadoes suck water from lakes. The scene is spectacular. The formation of dragon play in water needs three conditions, tornado lake and suitable flat terrain. ?

This time, the spectacular dragon water absorption of Erhai Lake in Dali, China was photographed by many netizens. And posted it online. From the video, we can see that the scene of this dragon absorbing water is very grand, like a sky-high water column, connecting the lake with the sky, which makes people feel scared and deeply shocked. So why did this phenomenon not appear in other places, but happened in Yunnan? This is also related to the weather in recent days, with heavy rainfall and strong convective weather everywhere. Coupled with the special geographical environment in Yunnan, it is easy to form tornadoes, and the area of some lakes is relatively wide, thus forming the famous dragon water absorption phenomenon.

Because most parts of China belong to temperate monsoon climate, there is more precipitation in summer. In addition, the air flow from the ocean is blocked by the Qinling Mountains in China. It is possible to form a tornado, but the phenomenon of dragon absorbing water is relatively rare in northern China, because there are fewer rivers in the north, and it is difficult to form a relatively large tornado in the north because of the terrain.

We can refer to the dragon water absorption phenomenon in North America. For example, the United States is called the country of tornadoes. They have tornadoes every day, which have caused great damage to their houses. At the same time, there are many famous dragon sucks, most of which will stop near the city because the local terrain is flat and the tornado moves faster. When it moves to lakes, rivers and even oceans, it will suck a lot of water into tornadoes and then bring it to the ground through the movement of tornadoes. When it reached the surrounding cities, it was blocked by tall buildings and the tornado stopped. So we see on TV that dragons absorb water in some places, and even fish will fall from the sky. This is not a funny video, it is real, which is the most interesting feature of dragon water absorption.
