Hurricanes are classified on the Saffir-Simpson scale base on their maximum sustained wind speed. They are as follows:
Category 1: 74-95 mph
Category 2: 96-110 mph
Category 3: 111-129 mph
Category 4: 130-156 mph
Category 5: 157 mph or higher
Hurricanes of category 3 or greater intensity are considered major hurricanes.
No. Hurricanes are classified on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes.
False. There is no such thing as the Fujitsu scale. The Fujita scale is a system of rating the intensity of tornadoes, not hurricanes. The intensity of hurricanes is measured on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Hurricanes are classified based on their maximum wind speeds. There are 5 categories, with Category 1 being the lowest strength and Category 5 being the highest strength. Some dangers associated with hurricanes -- especially along the coast -- are storm surges, high winds and large amounts of rain that can cause flash flooding. Sometimes you can even get severe thunderstorms that spin off of hurricanes and produce tornadoes.B.By the intensity of their windsC.By the height of the sea waves that resultThey are classified by the speed of the winds and how much of a flood of water there is.Hurricanes are classified in terms of wind speed and flooding which are measured using the Saffir-Simpson Scale.

No. The Fujita scale is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale.

False. There is no such thing as the Fujitsu scale. The Fujita scale is a system of rating the intensity of tornadoes, not hurricanes. The intensity of hurricanes is measured on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
A magnitude of 8.0 earthquake could be classified as a low intensity by descriptions of damage to buildings and terrain. The intensity is often greatest near the earthquakes epicenter.

No. The Fujita scale is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
The scale that hurricanes are measured on is called the Saffir- Simpson wind scale.
If it can, we have not seen them developing as of yet. The number of hurricanes has risen slightly, but the strength and intensity has been shown to have decreased over the past several decades.
Hurricanes are classified based directly on wind speed from Category 1 to category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Tornadoes are rated based on damage-derived wind estimates, which are used to rate them on the Enhanced Fujita Scale from EF0 to EF5.
Skin is classified according to its pigment.
They are classified according to their wavelength.
