Is a weak tornado severe?
Any tornado, is considered to be severe weather. Even tornadoes rated as "weak" still pack strong enough winds to damage man-made structures.
Is Sulfur strong or weak?
weak weak
Why tropical cyclone is not happening at the equator?
The rotation of a large-scale weather system depends on the Coriolis effect, in which moving air is deflected relative to earth's surface. This effect is strongest near the poles and diminishes to zero at the equator. Since this effect is weak at the lowest latitudes, tropical storms generally cannot organize within 5 degrees of the equator.
What factors contribute to global winds identify areas where winds are weak?
Inuncategorized
How is a tornado weak and strong?
The intensity of tornadoes is rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale based on the severity of the damage they cause. There are six levels that fall into three general groups. EF0 and EF1 tornadoes are referred to as "weak," EF2 and EF3 tornadoes are "strong" and EF4 and EF5 tornadoes are "violent." The use of the word "weak" to refer to some tornadoes is a relative term, as they are not as strong as other tornadoes, but can still cause damage with estimated winds of up to 110 mph.
Are doldrums characterized by weak winds or strong winds?
weak winds because doldrums are calm winds on the earth.
Which is the zone at the equator where surface winds are weak and variable?
Unnecessary
Which is a narrow zone at the equator where surface winds are weak and variable?
Unnecessary
What are the characteristics of the doldrums and why do they occur?
The high solar intensity at equatorial latitudes causes intense heating at the equator, which produces powerful convection currents called Prevailing Winds. The Doldrums are where the prevailing winds at the Equator die.
What causes doldrums?
The doldrums are regions near the equator with weak winds due to the convergence of trade winds. This can be caused by the Earth's rotation and the movement of air masses. The lack of wind in the doldrums can make sailing through these regions slow and challenging.
The trade winds of the northern hemispheres and southern hemisphere meet at the equator in a narrow zone of weak variable winds called what?
The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone.
The trade winds of the northern and southern hemispheres meet at the equator in a narrow zone of weak variable winds called?
The ITCZ (inter-tropical convergence zone)
What causes some winds to be strong and some winds to be weak?
pressure gradient forces high in low pressure areas?
How might atmospheric pressure over the pacific ocean affect how the trade winds blow?
In a normal year the weak winds (trade winds) will switch direction because the strong winds (the atmospheric pressure) is strong enough to push the trade winds up and to turn them around.
Is Madison ALl a strong mayor government or a weak mayor government?
a weak- mayor system . no wear near a strong one
Can tornadoes get very weak?
Tornadoes can be considered weak. Those are the ones rated EF0 or EF1. But even an EF0 tornado produces strong winds that can cause damage.
What occurs when cold winds are weak from the east?
