How can tornadoes influence you?
yes
How do tornadoes affect the aquifers?
Tornadoes don't really affect aquifers at all. Aquifers are far enough underground to be beyond the influence of tornadoes.
What influence does a tornado have on climate?
Tornadoes do not have any notable impact on climate.
Are tornadoes caused by dust storm from south America?
No. Tornadoes are, in simple terms, caused by strong thunderstorms encountering wind shear. While there could be some teleconnections that influence tornadoes, we could still have tornadoes with or without them.
How are tornadoes different from each other?
Tornadoes differ in intensity, size, duration, speed of movement and the path that they take. All of these factors influence the magnitude of a tornado's impact.
Does the Coriolis effect make a tornado start to rotate?
No. Tornadoes are too small for the Coriolis effect to influence them.
What kind of landforms do tornadoes effect?
Tornadoes are most often associated with plains areas, but they can occur in any sort of terrain. Climate has a bigger influence on tornado activity than topography does.
Are tornadoes commonly found in the highland areas?
Tornadoes are more often associated with plains, but they are not uncommon in some highland areas. Overall climate has more influence on tornado frequency than topography.
Can an earthquake cause a twister or tornado?
No. Tornadoes are produce by thunderstorms and are an entirely atmospheric phenomenon. Earthquakes have no influence on storms whatsoever.
Can tornados give rise to hurricanes?
No, tornadoes are far to small and short lived to produce or influence something as large as a hurricane. Hurricanes form from large (synoptic scale) storm system over water ocean water. However hurricanes often do cause tornadoes.
Did cloud seeding cause the Moore tornado?
No. The storm that spawned the Moore tornado was not seeded; there was no reason to. There is also no substantial evidence that cloud seeding affects tornadoes. Violent tornadoes are a natural occurence that will happen and strike communites regardless of any of our attempts to influence the weather.
Can an earthquake on the ocean floor produce a tornado?
No, an earthquake on the ocean floor can cause a tsunami (a series of large waves). Earthquakes do not influence weather events such as tornadoes.
