Answer:

4.Tornado

Explanation:nvgnbgjb gbngjbng

Tornadoes are whirlwinds of wind that arise and develop, under some cumulonimbus clouds. Under certain conditions, part of the downdrafts that occur inside the cloud can rotate, dragging a large amount of energy with them.

A tornado is a very low pressure center, very small in size, generated under a cumulonimbus, with a pressure on the axis of the funnel that may be much lower than the pressure around it, lower than that of its surroundings. That low pressure causes the funnel and associated hose, which accompanies tornado formation, to act as a vacuum cleaner. Tornadoes can destroy buildings and houses, drag cars, uproot trees, and create deadly flying debris.

Answer:

Tornado.

Step-by-step explanation:

They form during lightening thunderstorms. When cool-dry airmass collide with warm- moist air mass, the gradient in densities creates a front as the warm air starts to rise above the cool air. Changes in wind direction make front to cycle and transform into a funnel and the winds start rotating around a center at very high speeds. The low pressure (compared to the normal) in the center of the funnel is what causes the tornado to fling objects and destroy.
