The F6 category is purely theoretical. Because Fujita scale ratings are based on damage rather than directly on wind speed, there is no room for a level hihger than F5.

Now that that point is made, the theoretical range of F6 winds is 319-379 mph.

Are tornadoes a big example of wind energy?

Yes. The energy of a tornado takes the form of extremely fast wind. The strongest of tornadoes produce the fastest winds on earth.


Is a tornado a big cloud?

No, a tornado is a violent, rotating wind storm. The funnel cloud formed by a tornado is usually small compared with other clouds.


Is a tornado strong when the eye is big or small?

A tornado's strength is not determined by the size of its eye. The eye of a tornado is typically small and calm, surrounded by a larger area of intense winds known as the eyewall. The strength of a tornado is measured by its wind speed and the amount of damage it causes, not by the size of its eye.


Does wind speed effect how big a tornado is?

To a limited degree, yes. Tornadoes with stronger winds have a tendency to be larger, but this is not always the case, as some relatively small tornadoes have been incredibly violent.


How can you be affected by a wildfire?

If the wildfire is big enough and the wind is strong enough it can produce a fire tornado.


How fast can a 125cc bike go?

as fast or slow as you want, it depends on the gearing, big front sprocket w/ little back sprocket = speed, small front big rear = torque but with a 14/42 you might reach 75-80 w/ wind at your back


How fast must a rock be traveling to strike and kill someone?

All depends on how big that rock is. And how far away that person is. And wind speed. And the gravitational pull of the earth. just kidding


What determine the size of waves?

The force and speed of wind will determine how little and big the waves are.


What element is used in high speed photography?

High shutter speed and fast lens/Big open aperture.


Is it true that wind causes erosion by blowing heavier rocks and leaving behind sand and soil?

Have you ever seen a great big rock flying through the air in the wind? Not unless it's a tornado. Wind does not pick up big rocks. It picks up sand and dirt and other tiny stuff and leaves the big stuff behind.


How do little tornadoes form in a big tornado?

These "little tornadoes" are called suction vortices or subvortices in what scientists call a multiple vortex tornado. A tornado becomes multivortex through a process called vortex breakdown. In some cases a tornado will spin so fast that wind flowing into it cannot reach the center. Instead, a gentle downdraft descends through the tornado's center, creating a calm area similar to the eye of a hurricane. When this downdraft reaches the ground the air spreads out and collides with air flowing in. Since this inflowing air has a lot of angular momentum, its collision with the downdraft results in the formation of smaller tornado-like vortices within the larger tornado.
