No. Tornadoes are a natural phenomenon. The distribution and frequency of tornado may be altered by climate change, but it is uncertain how.
No. There were tornadoes on earth before humans existed. Some have tried to link an apparent increase in tornadic activity with climate change caused by humans, but in reality there has been no such increase in activity.
Tornadoes are spawned by thunderstorms and so are weather-related.
No. Tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms. Intense fires can create vortices called firewhirls but these are not considered tornadoes.
Nothing. We cannot prevent tornadoes.
Tornadoes are natural events caused by the right setup of weather conditions. Human-caused climate change may affect where and when tornadoes are most likely to occur, but tornadoes remain a primarily natural phenomenon.
Yes. Tornadoes are a type of natural phenomenon.
Tornadoes caused 44 deaths in the U.S. in 2010 and an unknown number worldwide.
Humans cannot start tornadoes.
It depends on the kind of catastrophe. Catastrophes such as hurricanes and tornadoes are caused by weather. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are geologic events. Train wrecks and industrial accidents are human-caused.
None. There is nothing that humans can do to stop tornadoes.
Tornadoes are caused from highly dangerous thunderstorms.
No. Tornadoes are, in simple terms, caused by strong thunderstorms encountering wind shear. While there could be some teleconnections that influence tornadoes, we could still have tornadoes with or without them.
