A Landspout Tornado over Kansas
Explanation: Could there be a tornado inside another tornado? In general, no. OK, but could there be a tornado inside a wider
dust devil? No again, for one
reason because tornados comes down from the sky, but dust devils
rise up from the ground. What is pictured is a
landspout, an unusual type of tornado known to occur on the edge of a violent
thunderstorm. The
featured landspout was imaged and identified in
Kansas,
USA, in June 2019 by an experienced storm chaser. The
real tornado is in the center, and the outer sheath was possibly created by
large dust particles thrown out from the central tornado. So far, the only planet known to create tornados is
Earth, although
tornado-like activity has been
found on the Sun and
dust devils are common on
Mars.
