Various types of tornadoes include the landspout, multiple vortex tornado, and waterspout. Waterspouts are characterized by a spiraling funnel-shaped wind current, connecting to a large cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud.

When a certain temperature threshold unique to each substance in the universe is crossed, a phase change will result, changing the state of the matter.he point at which matter subjected to a particular temperature under conditions of constant pressure begins to change its phase is called the phase change threshold. At this temperature, every bit of the substance exposed to the heat will change its state.
Matter can be uniquely identified by using two main categories of properties, they are physical and chemical. Physical properties of matter refer to characteristics of a substance that can be observed WITHOUT changing the actual âmakeupâ of a substance. Some physical properties include mass, volume, color, boiling point, how hard a substance is, and even taste. Many things that we come in contact with can be accurately identified by just using some physical properties that we observe about it.
