<span>Step1; Like all strong winds and storms, tornadoes begin when the sun heats the surface of the land. As the warm, less heavy air begins to rise, it meets the colder, heavier air above it creating a strong circular wind. A wind shear is when two winds at different levels and speeds above the ground blow together in a location. </span>

<span><span>Step 2: </span>The faster moving air begins to spin and roll over the slower wind. As it rolls on, it gathers pace and grow in size.</span>

<span>
Step 3: At this stage, it is an invisible, horizontal wind spinning and rolling like a cylinder. As the winds continue to build up, stronger and more powerful warm air forces the spinning winds vertically upward, causing an updraft.

<span>Step 4: </span>With more warm air rising, the spinning air encounters more updraft. The winds spin faster, vertically upwards, and gains more momentum.</span>

<span>Step 5: At this stage, the spinning winds, creates a vortex and the wind has enough energy to fuel itself.

Step 6: The tornado is fully formed now and moving in the direction of the thunderstorm winds. When the pointed part of the tornado touched the ground from the cloud, it is often referred to as </span>'touch down'<span>

Why is it essential that the regulatory mechanisms that activate glycogen synthesis also deactivate glycogen phosphorylase? (sel
Alex_Xolod [135]
This is because such a mechanism of regulation prevents the simultaneous addition and removal of glucose monomers, preventing unnecessary reactions. Additionally. the two processes occur in the same location in the sell, thus this regulation makes the net process more efficient. When glycogen phosphorylase is phosphorylated its activity increases and vicevarsa.

1. How do disturbances (or catastrophes) affect ecological succession? Be as specific as possible. Right answers only.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

There are two types of ecological succession:

Primary succession:

Primary succession occurs in areas which were previously devoid of life. There were no organisms living in this area before. For example, lands after new glaciers or volcano  eruptions. Firstly, microorganisms begin to habitat this land, followed by plants like lichens, shrubs etc. Finally, complex life evolved from these.

Secondary succession:

Secondary succession arises in areas where life existed before but was destroyed due to natural circumstances like flood, fire etc. Small grasses inhabit this land first which are taken over by trees over  period of time.
