Can a big shockwave disrupt a tornado and cease its formation?
In: Planetary Science
Think about the water running down your shower drain. If you want to disrupt the whirlpool effect, you can with a good kick, but it’ll reform pretty fast.
Now, your kick involved way more energy than the whirlpool, right? The atmospheric equivalent would level cities and rip roads from the ground. Levels if destruction greater than a nuclear bomb. If we even have access to that kind of power, which is unclear, we’d be doing more harm than good.
