While animals might know that a bad storm is approaching it is doubtful that they can sense tornadoes specifically.

What attracts Tornadoes?

Nothing in particular "attracts" tornadoes in a literal sense. However, they are most likely to form under a certain set of weather conditions. In most basic terms, when thunderstorms encounter wind shear, or differences in speed and direction with altitude, they can start rotating and, in turn, produce tornadoes. Thunderstorms normally develop when warm, moist air exists beneath layer of cold air. The strongest storms, those most likely to produce tornadoes, most often form along fronts, when air masses with different properties collide.


Do dogs know when tornadoes are coming?

There is no hard and fast scientific evidence for this that i am aware of....however dogs, along with many different animals, do seem to have some second sense about approaching severe storms. My American bulldog, as well as numerous previous breeds i have owned, seem able to sense a storm long before i have any notion of it. However, a dog likely does not know whether a specific type of storm is coming.


Why does it go quiet just before a storm starts?

Because animals can sense when it is going to storm, and they will go into their nests, holes, whatever they live in, and be quiet before a storm starts and during it. Insects do this too.

What scale do they us for tornadoes?

There are three scales used for rating tornadoes. All of them use damage to estimate wind speed. The best known scale and first to be developed is the Fujita (F) scale,created in 1971, which goes for F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest most countries today use the Fujita scale. Next is the little-known TORRO (T) scale developed in 1975. It goes from T0 at the weakest to T11 at the strongest. In a sense it divides each level on the Fujita scale in two (T0 and T1 equal an F0, T10 and T11 equal an F5). It is used chiefly in Britain. Finally there is the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, developed in 2007, which goes from EF0 to EF5. It is much like the original Fujita scale and has much the same categories. But it involves more detailed damage analysis and uses different wind estimates as the original one were found to be inaccurate, especially for F4 and F5 tornadoes. It is used only in the U.S.

How many people out of 10 are killed by tornadoes?

The number of people killed by tornadoes is so low that an "out of 10" comparison doesn't make sense. You'd need to get into the "out of ten millions" or even into the "out of hundred millions" Before you'd get numbers that make sense.


Can gerbils sense when a tornado is coming?

Probably not. Although they may respond to signs that storm is coming, perhaps by hearing thunder before we do, it is unlikely that they can sense tornadoes specifically.

In a sense. Some tornadoes, usually the weaker ones, only touch down intermittently.


Do tornadoes sweep?

In one sense, you could say they do. In the most violent tornadoes houses are said to be swept away.


What is como punta llegar?

It is a juxtaposition of three unrelated Spanish words. Como can mean, I eat, how, what, which, or as.Punta means point, the noun. Llegar means to arrive, the infinitive verb. "As point to arrive?" "I eat point to arrive?" "How point to arrive?" If these phrases make no sense in English it's because they also make no sense in Spanish.

Does a tornado build up land or break down land?

Tornadoes can cause soil erosion, though it is usually not significant except in extremely violent tornadoes. So in that sense they break it down.

How did the plains Indians survive tornadoes?

The Plains Indians would have been very in tune with nature and the elements. They would have been able to sense a change in weather and like dug trenches to retreat to when tornadoes happened.


Does a tornado jump?

In a sense. Some tornadoes are only in intermittent contact with the ground, touching down and lifting multiple times.


Do dogs predict tornadoes?

Yes, they do.I have personally owned dogs who can predict tornadoes. I had a Pekingese who was very sensitive to changes in air pressure. This dog was never wrong. I could tell by his behavior when there would be a tornado near our little town.I have since studied this and it seems that they can sense changes in air pressure. They probably sense other factors as well, such as subtle changes in magnetic fields. I am a veterinary technician and I have no doubt that dogs can presict tornadoes.
