Technology has led to the creation of doppler weather radar in the past 30 years. This radar can detect the signature of a tornado or its parent circulation, which allows advance warnings to be issued without the need for visual confirmation. More recently, dual-polarized radar was developed, which can distinguish between rain, hail, and tornadic debris. If tornadic debris is detected it means that a tornado is or recently was lifting material into the sky.

How has technology changed the way hurricanes and tornadoes are studied?
Satellites allow us to track hurricanes at sea and study previously unseen features. Doppler radar allows us to directly track winds and precipitation in hurricanes, tornadoes, and potentially tornadic storms.
Which way do hurricanes and tornadoes rotate in the Northern Hemisphere?
All hurricanes and most tornadoes rotate counterclockwise.
Is there a way to prevent tornadoes?
No, not withing human means anyway.
Which natural disasters have changed our lives?
Well... Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Tsunamis, Earthquakes and such benefit us in a good and bad way. They help control the human population, they clear buildings and land masses for newer, more sophisticated buildings and changes.
Do tornadoes spin the same way as hurricanes?
Yes, at least for the vast majority of tornadoes. Both rotate cyclonically, that is, counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. However, a small number of tornadoes (less than 1%) rotate the opposite direction from normal. These are called anticyclonic tornadoes.

What are some technologies that have changed the way you live?
Biological technology, electronics, computer technology, and information technology, for example.
Are tornadoes increasing?
There is no way of saying for certain. The apparent increase in tornado activity over the past 60 or so years is due largely to our improved ability to detect and confirm weaker tornadoes. U.S. statistics for stronger tornadoes show no overall increase in activity.

yo mama is so fat
What is the definition of global technology?
The definition of global technology is a way of producing and diversifying analysis or experiments around the world. Technology has changed the global economic structure and technology has played a huge part in that.
How does technology changed the way that we live?
It makes life easier and comfortable compared in the older times.
Among the multitude of ways technology is inculcating itself in culture and civilization, cite and discuss one such arena where technology will have impact. Speculate such changes and back them with past or current trends?
