You see storms that have a low pressure center and spin, but you don’t see the iconic tight spiral like you do with hurricanes where there’s an eye of the storm and everything. Why is that?
In: Earth Science
Hurricanes require warm, moist air to form. There simply isn’t enough of that on land, so they peter out. And megastorms such as these never form over land in the first place. But, I assume you have heard of tornadoes which are a more localized rotating storm event. Massive inland thunderstorms can spawn hundreds of tornadoes.
