Both hurricanes and tornadoes are violent weather events that have low pressure centers and rotate in a cyclonic direction: counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
What else can I help you with?
What are 2 most important factors for a hurricane thunderstorm or tornado to happen?
For a hurricane: warm sea surface temperatures and little to no wind shear For a thunderstorm: convective instability and a lifting mechanism to start convection For a tornado: strong thunderstorms and strong winds shear.
What are 2 ways that birds and amphibians are alike?
They lay eggs and eat worms.
Can a tornado be bigger than a hurricane?
No. The largest tornado ever recorded was 2.5 miles wide, and only a handful of tornadoes over 2 miles wide have ever been recorded. The smallest hurricane ever recorded was 60 miles wide, with most hurricanes being a few hundred miles wide.
What are 2 ways all animals are alike?
They all need to eat and breath oxygen.
How do you beat a fast sand worm on Super Scribblenauts?
You can defeat it with a slow black dragon.
What does more damage?
tornados can cause the fastes damage , if i had to list them i would say 1. TORNADO(IT CAN DESTROY ALOT IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES) 2.EARTHQUAKE(IT CAN SHAKE A LARGE AREA BUT NOT ALWAYS CAUSE THAT MUCH OF A DAMAGE AS a tornado could) 3.HURRICANE
Where is the eye of a tornado?
The eye of a tornado is the calm, relatively clear center of the storm, surrounded by a rotating wall of wind and clouds called the eyewall. It forms in the center of the tornado vortex as air descends from aloft. It is typically small, usually less than 2 miles in diameter.
Is there going to be a tornado jockey 2?
most likely not because tornado jockey, although fun and awesome, was not one of its company's money makers. It is also pretty much endless which would eliminate the reason for a sequel so basically they could just do something like a Hurricane Jockey which would be a branch off of Tornado Jockey.
what 2 ways that everglades and rainfoests are alike?
they are both wet and have a warm climate they also they contain an abundance of life
Does a hurricane or a tornado have the lowest pressure?
Some of the lowest atmospheric pressures ever recorded at ground level or sea level were recorded in tornadoes and hurricanes. The lowest sea level pressure recorded at any United States-certified observing station was 892 millibars (26.34"), recorded at Matecumbe Key, Florida on September 2, 1935 in the "Labor Day Hurricane". The world record goes to Typhoon Tip when, on August of 1979, it recorded a central pressure of 870 millibars (25.69").It is not known how low pressure in a tornado can get because very few measurements have been actually taken from inside a tornado.The lowest pressure recorded in a tornado was approximately 688 millibars in Tulia, Texas on April 21, 2007.However, this was not a sea level measurement and would likely have been higher if the tornado had occurred at sea level.
What features classify a large-scale weather event?
2 large-scale weather events that I can think of would be hurricanes and tornadoes. In order for a tropical storm to be a hurricane, it must sustain winds of 75+ MPH. Hurricanes are classified by category on the saffir Simpson scale. Should a hurricane have sustained winds of 156+ MPH, that would be considered a Category 5 Hurricane. Tornadoes are classified on the Fujita scale based on the amount of damage the tornado causes and the wind speed that the tornado reaches.
Could any state end up getting a tornado from a hurricane?
Yes. It it fairly common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall. Therefore, any state that can get a hurricane could get a hurricane-spawned tornado. Some states, notably in the far northwest, will rarely if ever be affected by either tropical cyclones or by tornadoes, because the weather systems there are not conducive to their formation. The state of Alaska has had only 2 confirmed tornadoes over the last 65 years and only post-tropical cyclones.
