Is a tornado a living or a non living thing?

Answer 1

Please tell me you're kidding. It is nowhere near a living thing. Not even close.

Tornadoes are nature's most violent storms. Nothing that the atmosphere can dish out is more destructive. Even though it moves, it is considered a non living thing.

Answer 2

Why, they're living of course. But they are not living organisms in the technical sense, rather they are spiritual entities that are comprised of energy. They are born when warm, rising air mixes with colder, drier air to make a supercell thunderstorm. Then, the tornado will begin to form and once it is born, it will descend gracefully down from the sky to feed. Tornadoes have BIG appetites! Some of tornadoes favourite foods are trees, grass, leaves, branches, and sometimes, the bigger ones can munch their way through cars, houses, and sometimes even people and animals! However, inorganic matter can make the tornado feel bad (it's like junk food) and will make it fat, and angry at its discomfort. Most tornadoes don't really intend to harm anyone - they are just exceptionally clumsy creatures who don't always look where they're going. They vary in size and strength, and some of them can do a lot of damage, which is why many consider them pests, particularly in the southern-midwestern US. Tornadoes' natural habitats are usually wide, open spaces like fields and plains, with lots of trees and things for them to eat which will give them nutrients which they take back up into the atmosphere. The junk food is just thrown back out of it again, like a human throwing up.

Just like us, tornadoes have different personalities, and come in all shapes and sizes. You can get nice ones who mind their own business and do their thing, and you can get mean and angry ones who just want to destroy everything. Usually something has happened which has made the tornado angry. But even the friendliest tornadoes can be quite dangerous, so it's best to stay far away from them and to never approach one out in the wild, as even the most docile tornadoes (EF0 - EF1) can quickly turn violent if provoked and agitated. A tornado can also change direction from its original path just to chase down a person it doesn't like or because it spotted something that looks tasty. EF5 tornadoes are the angriest and most violent, and tend to be much bigger. They are bigger because they have eaten a lot and it has made them fat. This in itself causes the poor tornado great discomfort, which will cause it to throw everything it has munched out of it, causing a lot of destruction. Tornadoes can attack for the strangest reasons and can be petty about what they do and do not want to touch.

When they have calmed down and have finished munching, they will drift back into the clouds, where they will rest, and take in all the nutrients they have gathered.

Tornadoes also have their own complex and beautiful ancient language. To you or I, they may just sound like sounds, such as a waterfall, a jet engine, a hum or buzz, to a freight train, or even whistling. But the tornadoes are actually communicating and there are many subtle nuances that can tell its size, strength, how far away it is, and its mood.

A pleasant whirring sound: usually means the tornado is happy and content.

A low rumble, like thunder: this tornado is hungry, so WATCH OUT!

A jet engine: this is usually when they are eating stuff.

A low, continuous hum or buzz: this can mean it is upset about something.

A freight train: This usually signals that the tornado is very angry or agitated. It can be accompanied by sounds of debris smacking and crashing into things as the tornado throws them around, much like a toddler having a temper tantrum. It's important to stay as far away as possible from an angry tornado!

A whistling sound: this can mean that the tornado is excited.

TORNADO SAFETY

An angry tornado can and will throw things at you if you get too close, and can possibly even pick you up and throw you! This, and the fact that inside the tornado the air pressure is like being on an airplane, and you could get hit with various random flying debris, ranging from roof tiles, tyres, trees, glass, plank of wood with a nail sticking conveniently out of it, etc etc. It's basically the equivalent of the tornado swallowing you and you're getting hit with the things it has eaten before, before it vomits you back up again. So it's best you maintain social distancing rules even with a tornado, should you ever encounter one. The safest minimal distance away is probably about a few hundred yards, depending on its size and strength. It's a good idea to wear a crash helmet in case of flying debris, and to have a safe, fast and effective mode of transport, such as a heavy truck, which is difficult to lift. Tornadoes can be curious and may approach you, not meaning any harm, but they often unaware of their own strength, and may look at people and trucks as toys and fling them around. But you can always make friends with a tornado with a peace offering; this could be a treat such as a tree branch, or a log, and do not approach it but let it come. It'll see you are nice and be less likely to attack you.

Answer 3

A tornado does not have cells or a metabolism, does not reproduce, and does not respond to stimuli.

Answer 4

A hurricane is a non-living extreme weather phenomenon.

Answer 5

No, a tornado is a vortex of wind.

Answer 6

Oh, dude, a tornado is definitely not living. It's just a big swirling mass of air causing chaos like a toddler on a sugar rush. It's like asking if a blender is alive - it's just doing its thing, blending stuff up without a care in the world.

Answer 7

Oh, what a delightful question! A tornado is actually a non-living thing, much like a gust of wind or a wave in the ocean. It's simply a powerful force of nature, swirling and twirling in the sky, bringing change and transformation to the world around it. Just like a brushstroke on a canvas, each tornado is unique and awe-inspiring in its own way.

Answer 8

A tornado is considered a non-living thing. It is a rapidly rotating column of air that forms in severe thunderstorms and is capable of causing significant destruction. While tornadoes exhibit movement and energy, they do not possess the characteristics of living organisms, such as the ability to grow, reproduce, or respond to stimuli. Tornadoes are a natural phenomenon driven by atmospheric conditions and do not have biological functions like living organisms do.

Answer 9

Oh honey, a tornado is about as alive as a rock. It's just a swirling mass of air causing chaos and destruction. So, no, it's definitely not living - it's just Mother Nature showing off her wild side.

Answer 10

Probably

hurricanes are complicated system the spawn due to entropy gradient between the tropics and the poles.

Living things also are thought to exists as patterns that help entropy even out faster
