No. Stronger tornadoes (which are usually larger) have lower pressure than weak ones.

How do water temperatures affect air pressure?
The lower the pressure then the lower the temperature that is required to make it boil. Water at the top of Mount Everest boils well below 100 degrees centigrade due to the lower atmospheric pressure.
How are mass and air pressure related?
Pressure is directly proportional to moles only for ideal gases at constant temperature and volume. The ideal gas law is PV = nRT, where P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R is a gas constant that depends only on the units being used, and T is temperature (in degrees Kelvin). Solving for pressure gives P = (RT/V)n. The ideal gas law is a decent approximation for most cases, but it becomes less accurate for larger molecules and at lower temperatures. That's because it assumes that the gas particles' only interaction is to bounce off each other in perfect elastic collisions. Larger particles tend to "bounce" in more complicated ways, and at lower temperatures the particles are moving slowly enough that intermolecular forces begin to become significant.
Explain why a helium weather balloon expands as it rises in the air Assume that the temperature remains constant?
When the helium balloon starts gaining height, the pressure decreases and as the gas molecules are very freely movable (higher than the normal). They move apart from each other in the mean while they make the balloon to expand. The decrease in atmospheric pressure relative to pressure inside the balloon causes it to expand.
Describe the direction that winds appear to blow between centers of high and low pressure?
Near the Earth's surface, air will spiral from high to low pressure at a rate determined by the pressure gradient (and at an angle relative to that gradient). The Earth's rotation turns the air as it moves from high to low pressure, so the air doesn't make a bee-line from high to low as it would if the Earth didn't rotate. Higher up in the atmosphere, the air is deflected at nearly a 90 degree angle, so the air flows almost parallel to the pressure gradient.
Does pressure decrease as you go up through the atmosphere?
No; rather the reverse, as you rise up into the atmosphere, the air pressure decreases. Why? Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above you. (If air did not have weight, it would all drift away into space and we'd be in a vacuum.) As you ascend, there is less air above you to make that pressure, so the pressure decreases. What does ascend mean?
How does the sun make a balloon shrink?
it isn't the sun that causes the balloon to shrink. its the pressure. the higher the altitude, the higher the pressure.
Can two tornadoes join together to make a bigger one?
Yes. any number of tornados, can colide with each other to form a larger one. Try watching a video of it on YouTube™ its really neat.
How do you make water freeze at higher temp?
Increase the pressure. Ray
Why do big strings make low sounds Why do small strings make higher sounds?
The smaller the surface area the higher the pressure so vice versa
What effect does pressure have on a bottle rocket?
it pushes the rocket into the air to make it go higher.
How can you make water boil at a higher temp than 100 C?
put it under pressure
Which chambers make up a persons blood pressure?
Blood pressure is not made up of chambers. Blood pressure measurements include the systolic number, indicating the higher pressure when the ventricles contract, and the diastolic pressure, the pressure when the ventricles relax.
Does cooler air make a high pressue area or a low pressure area?
Cold air becomes more dense, hence it produces higher pressure.
Why is the boiling point lower on the top of Mt. Everest?
Because of the pressure. As you higher the ground the pressure increase which make the boiling temp of liquid lower that expected.
Why does air pressure make your ears hurt on an airplane?
When you climb higher the air pressure changes and the pressure inside of you hasn't changed so the pressure makes your ears hurt. After a while the pressure balances out and your ears wont hurt. That is why cabins are pressurized to help reduced pain from pressure difference.
Why do smaller objects make higher sounds?
Sound is created by the vibration of air. The faster the vibration, the higher the sound. Smaller objects can vibrate faster than larger objects (of the same kind) and therefore have a higher pitched sound.
To earn a higher interest rate what trade off will you likely have to make?
A money market account is an account that earns a higher rate of interest when you carry a larger balance, resulting from large deposits.
