No. A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air extending from the based of a thunderstorm to the ground. In order to be considered a tornado the circulation must:
Because of this, a number of atmospheric circulations are not considered tornadoes.
Since record keeping began in 1950 until the latest finalized record in 2012, Texas experienced 8,117 recorded tornadoes. Note that in the earlier part of this period, most weaker tornadoes were missed. Because of this, there are likely several thousand tornadoes that occurred in Texas, but were never recorded.
There were 37 recorded tornadoes in Florida in 2009.
There were 152 confirmed tornadoes in Texas in 1980.
This cannot be answered simply, as both hurricanes and tornadoes vary greatly in how bad they are. The impacts of both tornadoes and hurricanes can range from negligible to devastating. That said, the very worst hurricanes can be far deadlier and more destructive than the worst tornadoes.
No. First of all, the ratings of tornadoes are based on damage, not size. EF1 is the second weakest category of tornado (there is also an EF0). These tornadoes generally do moderate damage. EF5 is the strongest category. Such tornadoes cause catastrophic damage. Although not always, an EF5 tornado is typically much larger than an EF1.
Rotations of functions can be done in all three dimensions or any combination of them.
The hour hand = 24 rotations per day. The minute hand = 24 x 60 = 1,440 rotations per day. The second hand = 24 x 60 x 60 = 84,400 rotations per day. That;s a total of 87,864 rotations for all three pointers.
Yes. All 50 states have had tornadoes.
All tornadoes are dangerous.
Yes. All tornadoes are produced by thunderstormsYes, all tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms.However, only a small percentage of thunderstorms actually produce tornadoes.

All 50 states have had tornadoes.
All continents except Antarctica get tornadoes.
They are all types of transformations.
It depends on what you mean by extreme. Tornadoes of EF4 and EF5 tornadoes, however are often referred to as violent tornadoes. These account for about 1% of all tornadoes.
Tornadoes happen all around the world and it depend on your location as to how many tornadoes you will have.
Yes, tornadoes can happen almost anywhere that there are thunderstorms.
