The air in and near a tornado generally follows a spiral path as it moves inward and upward around the tornado's center of rotation. In some tornadoes, however, it is more complicated than this as there may be smaller subvortices embedded in the main vortex. The tornado itself usually moves in a fairly straight line.

What path does a tornado follow in New Jersey?
Tornadoes do not follow any predetermined path. That being said, tornadoes in the US tend to occur in advance of, and track parallel to, cold fronts, which means that they often move from southwest to northeast.
Are tornadoes the fastest storm?
In terms of wind speed, yes. Tornadoes are the only storms on earth that can produce gusts in excess of 300 mph. However, tornadoes this intense are very rare.
What type of information is used to predict tornadoes?
Temperature, Doppler radar, and wind direction are some of the types of information used to predict tornadoes.
What does wind have to do with tornadoes?
A tornado is a vortex of wind. Tornadoes develop from interactions of air currents (wind) within a thunderstorm.
How is a tornado measured and recorded?
Tornadoes are rated based on the severity they cause, which is then used to estimate wind speed and assign a rating, ranging from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest. Tornadoes are listed in varies databases along with a number of figures such as rating, death toll, injuries, path length, path width, and cost of damage.
How are tornadoes controlled?
Tornadoes are not controlled. Tornadoes are influenced by temperature, humidity, wind, and air pressure, wind interact in complex ways.
Why are sand dunes important in tornadoes?
sand dunes important in tornadoes as when the tornadoes come the high pressure wind take it to the direction where the wind is blowing
What are examples of wind?
Tornadoes...
Why tornadoes happens in your world?

What are the ethicals of wind energy?
tornadoes, wind storms ect.
What path do tornadoes take across the US?
Tornadoes usually move southwest to northeast.
How are tornadoes dangerious?
They can destroy anything in their path.
Are tornadoes a type of wind energy?
Yes. Tornadoes are violent windstorms and their energy is in their wind. However, this energy cannot be harnessed because tornadoes are too difficult to predict and would likely damage or destroy any wind turbines.
What causes tornadoes dry climates stationary fronts condensation or wind shears?
Condensation and wind shear are both needed for tornadoes to form. Tornadoes can form along stationary fronts as well.
Are their tornadoes on Venus?
As far as we cal tell, there are no tornadoes on Venus. There are certainly high wind speeds, at higher altitudes, but no tornadoes.
