Introduction:
In this report we willtalk about tornadoes of fire, as they are produced, their main features.
We choose this natural phenomenon because it did not seem very impressive and we wanted to know how they behaved.A whirlwind of fire, also called tornado of fire, is a rare phenomenon in which the fire under certain conditions, acquires a vertical and forms vertical swirl like a tornado.
Development:
A fire tornado is a curious natural atmosphericphenomenon that originates and is in a similar manner to conventional cyclones, but withthe peculiarity that these vortices vortices are composed of burning fire. A fire that is drawn and rotated as aresult of different pressures and temperatures that occur in the formation of vortex. It is an extraordinary phenomenon that shows its power in the devastation oflarge fires, and unfortunately most forest.
An example of the effects it can have a phenomena of this kind happened in 1923 during the Great Kanto Earthquake, which triggered a firestorm on the size of a city and was a whirlwind of firethat killed 38,000 people in fifteen minutes the region of Tokio.4Hifukusho-Ato
Another example were the many swirls of fire emerged from the collapse of a beam in a tank ofoil near San Luis Obispo California on April 7, 1926, which caused substantial damage to structures away from fire and killed two people.
Most of the largest tornadoes of fire arising from forest fires which arepresent warm air flow upward and converging. Usually have 10 to 50feet tall, a few meters wide and last only a few minutes. However, some may have more than one kilometer high, contain winds inexcess of 160km/ persist for more than 20 minutes.
The whirlwinds of fire can destroy trees up to 15 meters high.
Conclusion:
Well as we saw in this report on the tornadoes of fire, we realized...
