Yes, through the observation of weather patterns and climates.
Yes tornadoes can be predicted by using NEXRAD, Doppler, or WSR-88D radar. The radar images show certain motions in the cell thus telling meteorologists a tornado is possible. However, a tornado could not be forecasted for 5-days out.

Yes. Dopple radar can detect the rotation of a tornado, or at least the larger rotation that produces it. Recent advancements now allow radar to detect debris from tornadoes. On top of that, many tornadoes are visible to the naked eye.
There are two levels of forecasting tornadoes: long term and short term.
Long term forecasts are on the scale of hours to days. Here scientists look at conditions such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction at different levels of the atmosphere and what weather system are in the area or will move through the area. The large areas are given an assessment of the likelihood of a tornado occurring within 25 miles of any given location. This can assess the risk of a general area but cannot tell if a particular location will be hit.
On the short term, Doppler radar is used to detect rotation in a thunderstorm, which can indicate the potential to produce a tornado or that one is already occurring. Based on this warnings are issued for specific locations. The average lead time for a tornado warning is 14 minutes.
To a limited degree. Hurricanes can be predicted to some degree a few days into the future.
Tornadoes, which are much smaller and shorted lived are less predictable. On a scale of hours to a couple days scientists can predict where there is potential for tornadoes across a large region, but predictions for specific locations cannot pe issued more than a few minutes in advance.
There is no such thing as a tsunami tornado. Tsunamis and tornadoes are two separate and completely unrelated phenomena.. Both can be predicted to a limited degree.
When an undersea earthquake occurs scientists try to assess whether a tsunami has been triggered, and then issue warnings to places the tsunami might hit.
Tornadoes can also be predicted to some degree by analyzing weather patterns. The potential for a major tornado outbreak can often be seen days in advance. However, for individual tornadoes warning times are measured in minutes.
Yes, but to a limited degree. General conditions can be used to predict tornado outbreaks based on measurements of temperature, humidity and wind speed and direction at different altitudes and on how air masses and weather systems are moving. This can determine risk for a general area, perhaps covering a state or two, up to a few days in advance, but cannot tell if any particular location will be hit.
Doppler radar can detect rotation in thunderstorms that can indicate the potential for a tornado to form, or that one is already occurring with an average lead time of about 14 minutes.
Typhoons can be predicted using weather sattelites up in the air. The people who are watching the sattelites from the screen, will see that it is coming and warn people about it.
we actually use satellites and the force of the wind can tell us if a tornado is going to happen.

weather radar and storm watching
No, tornadoes may be predicted to some degree but not prevented.
Can't prevent them but they are predicted by weather observations. This is called meteorology. Tornados can be predicted but what can't be predicted is how they move or where they will go next.
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.
Obviously it is tornadoes not tornados tornado is singular while tornadoes are plural
Enormous vortices have been observed on the sun that resemble tornadoes. They have been called "solar tornadoes" but they are not tornadoes by the meteorological definition.
No, tornadoes may be predicted to some degree but not prevented.

Many disasters like hurricanes and thunder storms can be predicted. However, many disasters, like tornadoes and earthquakes, cannot be predicted with much accuracy.
Scientists follow tornadoes to track where they are going and warn people in their paths. They also study tornadoes to learn more about them so they can be better predicted.
That is impossible to predict. Tornadoes cannot be predicted in the long term. Lead times in forecasting tornadoes are measured in minutes, not months.
Nobody knows. Many tornadoes occur every year but they cannot be predicted.
Nobody on this site can predict the future. We also can't read your mind to know which country you live in. You'll have to watch your local weather to see if tornadoes are predicted.
In the long term tornadoes are predicted by looking at factors such as temperature and wind speed and direction at different levels of the atmosphere and by monitoring any storm systems that might come through the area. In the short term tornadoes are predicted by scanning thunderstorms with doppler radar and looking for signs of strong rotation.Scientists study tornadoes primarily with doppler radar as well, which can pick up information on the winds inside the funnel it you can get close enough. A few have deployed probes inside of tornadoes to take measurements.
No. The Tri-State Tornado occurred in 1925. There were no efforts to predict tornadoes until the 1940s.
Since tornadoes are a form of weather, they would be predicted by a meteorologist.
Hurricanes can't hit Michigan. It is too far from the ocean. Tornadoes can't be predicted with such precision and earthquakes can't be predicted at all.
