on average 15 minutes but they can take a few seconds up to more than 1 hour
They can, but most tornadoes happen on land.
No. Chicago only takes up a tiny portion of the land in the U.S. and therefore gets a similarly tiny portion of the tornadoes.
If you travel by plane it only takes 1 and a half hour from luzon to mindanao. If you travel by sea it takes 24hours. If you travel by land it takes almost 2days.
It varies. The average tornado travels at 30-35 mph. However some tornadoes are stationary while others move at over 70 mph.
Tornadoes are generally considered a land based phenomenon. There are however waterspouts which are essentially tornadoes on water, though they are generally not counted as tornadoes unless the hit land.
It takes three days to travel to the moon and land.
No. A tornado that moves onto water will keep going without being significantly affected. In such a case it is called a waterspout. Waterspouts can also develop on water and then move onto land as tornadoes. There are numerous examples of tornadoes crossing water. Most notably, the three deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history all crossed the Mississippi River. See the links below for tornadoes moving across water.
Tornadoes most often form on land, but they can form over water.
The average tornado lasts about 10 minutes, but durations may range anywhere from just a few seconds to over three hours. Hurricanes usually last several days, and can last as long as a month, however hurricanes spend nearly all of their time over open ocean, not land. A hurricane will weaken rapidly and dissipate if it moves over land.
Unfortunetely there is no real protection from Tornadoes of your land. It depends I guess how much land you have. Say you had 100 Acres, then it would be extremely hard to protect your land. Even still... unless you had a huge bubble put around your house and your land, Tornadoes can rip up everything in their path.
Antarctica is the continent that does not have tornadoes. Tornadoes typically form over land, so the cold and uninhabited nature of Antarctica makes it unlikely for tornadoes to occur there.
Tornadoes typically move in a straight path along the ground and are not known to travel up hills. The hilly terrain may affect the tornado's strength or lifespan, but it does not cause the tornado to move uphill.
