What makes tornadoes and waterspouts wild?
the atmosphere makes tornadoes and waterspouts wild,because in tornadoes anything can change at any time due to measures in a super cell thunder storm either temps,dew points, winds or storm path.
What is the climate when tornadoes do form?
When thunderstorms occur with strong, intense winds. tornadoes form when those winds start to rotate tornadoes form
Which is faster a hurricane or tornado?
In many cases the wind speeds of hurricanes and tornadoes fall into the same range, but tornadoes tend to have faster winds.
What are waterspout's speed?
Waterspouts typically have winds in the range of 60 to 70 mph. On rare occasions they can go much faster, though.
Which one is fast hurricanes or tornadoes?
Both hurricanes and tornadoes produces very fast winds. As to which one has faster winds, it varies. Some tornadoes have faster winds than others and a tornado will vary in intensity during its existence. The same is true of hurricanes. In most cases the wind speeds in a tornado and in a hurricane will fall into the same range. In the most extremely cases, though, the strongest tornadoes produce faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.
Does the speed matter to a tornado?
Yes. The faster the winds in a tornado the worse the damage will be. Weak tornadoes with winds of 110 mph or less cause some damage, but do not devastate communities. The very strongest of tornadoes, those rated EF5 wind winds over 200 mph can annihilate entire neighborhoods.
Is a waterspout a tornado?
Yes it is a tornado over the water. However it is easier for a tornado to form over water and is generally smaller and weaker. Waterspouts are generally not officially counted as tornadoes unless they hit land.
Are waterspouts usually more dangerous than true tornadoes?
Waterspouts are often thought to be less "deadly" than tornadoes because there is not really any property for them to pick up/destroy: They generally are not carrying gigantic amounts of debris to cause destruction, and hardly any human lives are at risk. However, they ARE tornadoes - just on water- They have "deadly" winds (think about how heavy all that water is). While fair-weather waterspouts rarely produce winds over 70 mph, tornadic waterspouts can be just as strong as any tornado.
What are two things how tornadoes damage proerties?
Tornadoes cause damage through their extremely fast winds and through debris carried by those winds.
Which has higher wind speed hurricanes or tornadoes?
There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.
How strong are waterspouts?
Fair-weather waterspouts generally have winds less than 70 mph. Tornadic waterspouts tend to be stronger, through winds still do not usualle exceed 110 mph, though they can become much stronger.
Is an earthquakes faster than tornadoes?
The seismic waves of an earthquake travel faster than the winds of a tornado. But this is not what makes earthquakes destructive.
