for what we know...tornadoes do not help the earth.
but...they do turn upside down cars, houses, pull trees from their roots, and kill people.
Tornadoes really don't do anything to help the earth. They are rare occurrences in any given ecosystem and are simply a consequence of several atmospheric controls. Nothing in the world is adapted to them.

∙ 15y agoThey don't help us, they are destructive. ANSWER: They don't help us, not directly. But they do serve a purpose. Have you ever noticed the conditions prior to a tornado are hot, sultry and muggy, and the aftermath weather is more often than not dry and cool? Tornadoes are the most drastic perpetuation of a thunderstorm cell which acts as a heat pump for the planet. Excess heat is drawn up through the storm cell and radiated back out into space. We might not like tornadoes too much but without them we might be Kentucky Fried Human.

Can movement of the Earth's plates cause tornadoes?
No. The movement of Earth's plates can cause earthquakes and tsunamis but is completely unrelated tornadoes. Tornadoes are produced by severe thunderstorms.
How did the F-scale help scientist learn more about unpredictable tornadoes?
The Fujita scale does not help in predicting tornadoes, but it is a useful tool in statistical studies of tornadoes, where singling out stronger or weaker tornadoes is useful.
Do tornadoes always follow the rotation of the earth?
No. While most tornadoes rotate in a direction that matches earth's (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern), a small percentage go against this. The origin of the spin in tornadoes is not directly related to earth's rotation. Most tornadoes also move in an easterly direction, but not always.
How do tornadoes shape the earths surface?
Tornadoes do not effectively shape the earth's surface, they are too fleeting.
Are tornadoes dangerous to the earth?
Yes they can be depending on where they are, but reguarly no they aren't to the whole earth.
What do tornadoes tell you about the earth?
Tornadoes demonstrate that Earth's atmosphere can hold quite a bit of energy.
What is the windiest thing on earth besides tornadoes?
Outside of tornadoes the strongest winds on earth occur in hurricanes.
Can movement of the Earth's plates cause tornadoes?
No. The movement of Earth's plates can cause earthquakes and tsunamis but is completely unrelated tornadoes. Tornadoes are produced by severe thunderstorms.
Does Earth have tornadoes?
Yes!
Why tornadoes happens in your world?
Tornadoes happen because there is wind on earth!
How did the F-scale help scientist learn more about unpredictable tornadoes?
The Fujita scale does not help in predicting tornadoes, but it is a useful tool in statistical studies of tornadoes, where singling out stronger or weaker tornadoes is useful.
Do tornadoes change the Earth's atmosphere?
The updraft of a tornado may help somewhat in stabilizing the atmopshere, but the parent thunderstorm normally would do that anyway.
What are they doing to help stop tornadoes?
Nothing. It is impossible to stop tornadoes. We can only warn people and help them prepare.
How does the earth's atmosphere connect to tornadoes?
Like all weather events on earth, tornadoes take place within and as a part of earth's atmosphere. They are produced by thunderstorms, which are driven by thermodynamic instability in earth's atmosphere.
Do tornadoes always follow the rotation of the earth?
No. While most tornadoes rotate in a direction that matches earth's (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern), a small percentage go against this. The origin of the spin in tornadoes is not directly related to earth's rotation. Most tornadoes also move in an easterly direction, but not always.
How is earth affected by tornadoes?
Tornadoes can cause catastrophic damage to vegetation and man-made structures.
How do tornadoes shape the earths surface?
Tornadoes do not effectively shape the earth's surface, they are too fleeting.
