Yes. The winds of a tornado carry an enormous amount of force. That is why they are so destructive. The winds themselves are driven by a pressure gradient.

Is a tornado a force?
A tornado is often described as a "force of nature" but in physics it is not a distinct force. Several forces are in operation in and around a tornado.
What kind of force that the tornado have like centripetal force centrifugal force?
Hi, Well the force is centripetal force during a body is initially attacked by the tornado,when the body started swinging in the tornado from the surface of the earth,the time when body covers some distance from downward to upward is the time when centrifugal force is applied.... That means tornado have both the centripetal force and centrifugal force..... Thanks you!
What forces affect the motions of tornadoes?
The primary force at work in a tornado is a pressure gradient force. Pressure inside a tornado is lower than it is outside, which causes the path of any air near it to curve toward the center of the tornado. Slight variations in that pressure can affect how a tornado behaves, which is part of what makes tornadoes so hard to predict.
Where does the force of a tornado comes from?
gay
What kind of force does a tornado have which keeps it to have that funnel shaped wind?
The wind in a tornado moves in a circular fashion as it is pulled inward by the pressure gradient force resulting from the low pressure at the center of the tornado.
What are gale tornado?
"Gale tornado" is a descriptive term for a tornado rated F0 on the Fujita scale. Such a tornado was estimated to have had winds of less than hurricane force.
Is a tornado destructive or constructive force?
destructive
Is tornado mostly constructive or destructive?
Tornadoes are a destructive force. They cause some erosion but do no build up any features.
Is a tornado heavy?
Not really. The winds of a tornado carry an enormous amount of force, but the tornado itself is composed almost entirely of air.
How can you stop a tornado?
There is no known way to stop a tornado.You cannot stop a tornado. It is a force of nature.
Can an F5 tornado be dangerous?
Any tornado can be dangerous. An F5 tornado is extremely dangerous. Hit by the full force of an F5 tornado, even the strongest houses will be swept away. Many F5 tornadoes are quite large, capable of leveling whole neighborhoods and killing dozens in a matter of minutes.
Will a tornado damage a tank?
The tornado would not directly damage a tank. However, debris that the tornado is throwing around might. Storms have been known to impale metal signs into concrete. Any object with enough force behind it could damage the tank.
