Tornadoes differ in intensity, size, duration, speed of movement and the path that they take. All of these factors influence the magnitude of a tornado's impact.
When two tornadoes meet, they merge into one tornado.
Tornadoes of any intensity can merge, however, it would be extremely unusual for two F5 tornadoes to be in such close proximity. The closest this came to happening in Kansas in 1990. As the Hesston, Kansas tornado was beginning to dissipate the tornado that would later hit Gossel, Kansas was forming. The two tornadoes neared each other and eventually the smaller Hesston tornado, which was in its "rope-out" stage was absorbed into the other, intensifying tornado. Although both tornadoes were ultimately rated F5, neither was at F5 intensity when the two twisters merged.
Generally not. When a weather event produces mutliple tornadoes at a time, they are usually far enough apart that they do not interact, so instead they move on more-or-less parallel paths.
Electric charges that are different in sign attract each other: true. Electric charges which are different in magnitude but the same sign attract each other: false.

Hurricanes and tornadoes are two different types of storm.
When two tornadoes meet, they merge into one tornado.
Not really. While it is not uncommon for a hurricane to produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are the product of mid-latitude storm systems that have nothing to do with hurricanes.
The warm and the cold air collide violently with each other
To see what kind of impact each has on a different segment of land.
No, a sandstorm is caused by to fronts of wind going in different directions hitting each other creating small tornadoes if there is enough heat the small tornadoes will start getting larger and spinning faster to make a sand storm.
Yes. Most often this occurs when one large and powerful tornado produces a smaller, weaker, satellite tornado that orbits it. Tornadoes that come too close to each other may merge.
Ocean currents, hurricanes, and tornadoes all rotate. Tornadoes, are different from the other two, however in that their rotation is not directly due to the Coriolis Effect.

1,200 a year in the U.S. on average. Worldwide figures are not known.
There is no such thing as a lightning tornado. Lightning and tornadoes are two different phenomena. They are both very dangerous, though, each claiming dozens of lives every year.
