What is the name of the equipment that they use to track tornadoes?
The main piece of technology used to track tornadoes is doppler weather radar, which can detect the wind signature of a developing tornado.
Are tornadoes a mesoscale storm?
No. A tornado is a microscale storm, as very few tornadoes get to be over 2 kilometers in diameter.
Why aren't there tornadoes here in California?
There are tornadoes in California, but they are rare and usually weak. The main reason is that cold ocean currents of the California coast tend to stabilize the atmosphere, making it difficult for the strong thunderstorms that produce tornadoes to form as such storms need an unstable atmosphere.
What is the main reason tornadoes form?
When cold air and hot air mix together it forms a tornado.
What air mass causes tornadoes?
No single air mass "causes" tornadoes. This is Tornadoes form within thunderstorms. Thunderstorms form best when there is plentiful warm, moist air. So, a arm, moist air mass is usually present. Significant tornado activity, however, usually results from the thunderstorms that form near the boundaries between air masses. Usually where a warm, moist air mass meets a cooler or drier air mass.
How many tornadoes does the state of Maine average a year?

What are the main causes of natural disasters?
Weather [hurricanes, tornadoes, floods], volcanoes, earthquakes, avalanches, tidal waves (tsunamis), and fire
Are there ever any tornadoes at all in Maine?
Yes. Main averages 1 to 2 tornadoes per year, though they are rarely stronger than EF1.
Were do tornadoes hit?
Tornado alley is the main striking point for tornadoes.
Can tornadoes create other tornadoes?
Yes, some strong tornadoes create brief satellite tornadoes that circle the main funnel.
What season causes tornadoes?
Tornadoes come in all seasons but are most common in spring and summer.
What is the main force that causes a tornado?
The main force that causes a tornado is the clash of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool, dry air from Canada, creating instability in the atmosphere. This can lead to rotating columns of air known as mesocyclones, which can intensify into tornadoes under the right conditions.
What are the human causes of tornadoes?
Humans do not cause tornadoes. While climate change may affect tornadoes, it is still uncertain how exactly this will play out.
What were the main causes of world world 2?
they farted
Why are there tornadoes in the southern hemisphere?
Tornadoes form in the southern hemisphere for the same reason they form in the northern hemisphere. The mechanics are the same. See the related question for what causes tornadoes
What are the main threats of tornadoes?
The main threat in a tornado is flying or falling debris.
What are Small tornadoes around the main tornado?
Smaller tornadoes near a larger tornadoes are often called satellite tornadoes. Smaller vortices within a tornado are called subvorticies or suction vorticies.
