Is a tornado a density dependent factor?
No, a tornado is not a density dependent factor. Density dependent factors are biotic factors that influence population size based on population density, while tornadoes are weather phenomena that are not influenced by population density.
How long are tornadoes usually on the ground?
Tornadoes can be on the ground anywhere from a few seconds to several hours, with the average being about 10-15 minutes. However, some tornadoes have been known to stay on the ground for over an hour, while others may dissipate quickly after forming.
How do tornadoes spin?
Tornadoes themselves form from rotating thunderstorms called supercells. These storm get their rotation when horizontal rolling in the air gets turned vertical by the updraft of a thunderstorm.
Why does Florida have weak tornadoes?
Tornadoes, particularly the strong ones, usually form in powerful thunderstorms called supercells. Supercells form best along boundaries with highly contrasting temperatures and/or moisture content. Florida's subtropical climate means that temperature contrasts are generally small, so especially powerful thunderstorms such as supercells have trouble forming, and when they do form they often have difficulty becoming intense enough to produce strong tornadoes. There are mechanisms where a storm other than a supercell can produce a tornado, which are not uncommon in Florida, but such tornadoes rarely exceed EF1 strength.
Why do many tornadoes appear transparent?
Air is transparent. Therefore the fundamental forming medium of a tornado will be invisible (transparent) it is only when the tornado incorporates water droplets (form the forming cloud) or debris form the ground that it becomes visible / opaque.
Does farming affect to forming of tornadoes?
No.
Does farming affect the forming of tornadoes?
No... is that a joke...
What can one find on the Tornados website?
The Tornadoes website offers a variety of information about tornadoes. These include: types and categories of tornadoes, weather conditions that signify tornadoes forming, and safety tips.
Which is a density independent factor in controlling a poputation?
Tornadoes
What is the possibility that tornadoes could start forming?
If general weather conditions favor the formation of tornadoes then a tornado watch is issued.
Can you predict a tornado?
Different storm centers (National Weather Service as an example) have high tech radars to detect any tornadoes that are forming or are potentially able to form. Meteorologists know the conditions that contribute to the forming of any tornadoes.
Do tornadoes come from inside the earth?
No. Tornadoes come from thunderstorms, which form in the air. The tornado itself starts forming several thousand feet above the ground.
What type of cloud is known as a low cloud that lies just beneath thunderstormsand has strong tornadoes forming?
Strong tornadoes typically descend from a wall cloud.
Can tornadoes hit densely populated areas?
Yes. Population density does not affect the likelihood of a tornado striking. Many tornadoes have hit cities.
Why is there little to no warning when a tornado occurs?
Tornadoes are poorly understood and scientists are still not sure what is involved in forming them. Furthermore, the factors that we do know contribute to tornadoes can be diffdifficult to detect.
Are there many tornadoes in Hawaii?
No. Tornadoes do happen in Hawaii but they are rare.
What was the 5th longest tornado?
That is difficult to determine. Many of the longest official tornado tracks were actually tornado families, series of tornadoes forming in succession, rather than individual tornadoes.
