A video captured of a massive waterspout over the Kama River in the Perm region of Russia! You can see the water being pulled up from the river into the sky.
Waterspouts are like the early stages of a tornado, forming over water instead of land.
What is a Waterspout?
A waterspout is a whirling column of air and mist that forms over a body of water. They usually develop from rapidly developing cumulus clouds, and while they can resemble tornadoes, they typically don't have the same destructive power unless they move onto land.
How Do Waterspouts Form?
Waterspouts form when cool air moves over warm water, causing the warm, moist air to rise and create a spinning column. As the air rises and the rotation intensifies, the waterspout becomes visible as it sucks water from the surface into the sky.
Waterspouts vs. Tornadoes
waterspouts:
form over water and are generally less intense. They can occur in fair weather and are usually weaker.
tornadoes:
form over land from severe thunderstorms and are often more powerful and destructive.
