Question

How does the author make a connection between hailand tornadoes?

A. She connects the spooky Skeleton Lake mystery caused by hail to the ""orinous"" day created by a tornado.
B. She notes that both largely affect the midwestern United States, with regions named for them.
C. She explains that the worst hal is found in Asia, while the worst tornadoes form over the ocean.
D. She connects the size of hail to the size of objects and small animals that can be carried by tornadoes.

Answer 1

The student's question about the connection between hail and tornadoes cannot be answered based on the provided text, which focuses on tornadoes, their rotational motion, and their prevalence in the central United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

The connection between hail and tornadoes is not explicitly mentioned in the provided text. Instead, the passages focus on the phenomenon of tornadoes, their destructive power, and the physics behind their rotation. Tornadoes are described as descending from clouds in funnel-like shapes that spin violently, particularly at the bottom where they are most narrow, producing winds as high as 500 km/h. The text also explains the rotational motion and conservation laws that govern their rapid spinning by comparing it to an ice skater pulling in their limbs to spin faster. Additionally, the high prevalence of tornadoes in the central United States, also known as Tornado Alley, is highlighted.
