Tornadoes are divided into levels on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which uses damage to deliver a wind speed estimates. See the related question for details on each level.
Lower levels of the atmosphere.
No, There is no type of tornado that starts with X. Tornadoes can be divided into supercell tornadoes, landspouts, and waterspouts. Some supercell tornadoes are also multivortex.
To get away from debris.
There are six levels on the Enhanced Fujita scale ranging from EF0 to EF5.
Yes. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which determines the intensity of a tornado based on the severity of damage they cause. There are six levels ranging from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest.
The most common intensity levels are EF0 and EF1, which are also the two weakest categories.
yes, there is 5 levels based on the speed of the wind
Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.
Humidity itself does not cause tornadoes. Tornadoes form from the interaction of different air masses with varying temperature, humidity, and wind conditions. High humidity levels can contribute to the instability needed for severe thunderstorms that can produce tornadoes under the right atmospheric conditions.
"Water tornadoes," which are called waterspouts, are divided into two categories. Fair-weather waterspouts, are structured differently and generally weaker than classic tornadoes. Tornadic waterspouts are ordinary tornadoes that happen to be on water, they are just as strong as ordinary tornadoes.
The Fujita scale rates the intensity of tornadoes. It does not rate states. Tornadoes of all intensity levels on the Fujita scale, from F0 to F5, have ocurred in Illinois.
Yes. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale based on the severity of the damage they inflict. The weakest tornadoes are rated EF0 while the strongest are rated EF5.
