The most significant effect on a natural habitat would be the destruction of trees. Even a tornado that is not particularly intense can snap and uproot many trees. The area affected is usually not very large, but it can take decades to fully recover.
A tornado usually forms from a mesocyclone, which occurs in the updraft or rear portion of some thunderstorms.
False. Not every change that occurs in an ecosystem is harmful. Some changes can be beneficial, such as the introduction of a new species that fills a vacant ecological niche or the restoration of a degraded habitat. However, certain changes, such as habitat destruction or pollution, can have negative effects on the ecosystem.
There is no such thing. A vortex that develops in water and may bear some visual resemblance to a tornado is called a whirlpool.
Not much. While some animals are likely to die, a tornado is unlikely to make a dent in the population of any species.
Natural disasters such as a hurricane, tornado, or earthquake. Man made 'disasters' such as a fire, toxic waste, or deforestation.
You should probably stay at least a quarter mile away from any tornado. This keeps you safe from debris and can give you some time to move if the tornado changes direction. Note, however, that you cannot judge the intensity of a tornado based on its appearance. It is a common misconception that a narrow tornado will be weak, when in fact it can be of any intensity. Even an F5 tornado can be skinny.
The changes can drastically be changed. The shelter can be destroyed. The place can become more polluted. The population will decrease so much. +++ The main victims are humans and their property. The natural world recovers from natural events like tsunamis eventually, but the inundated area will have gained a lot of salt, with possibly deleterious effects on vegetation for some time.
There are two explanations for that and they are both likely factors. First, in areas where tornadoes are rare there is less tornado preparedness, and some people might not know to take shelter, especially if there are no sirens. Some people might not even take warnings seriously, believing that a tornado couldn't actually happen in their area. By contrast, in many parts of Tornado Alley tornado drills are almost as routine as fire drills. Secondly some of the less tornado prone areas, such as the northeastern United States, are more densely populated than the largely rural Tornado Alley, giving tornadoes a greater opportunity to cause fatalities.
Most tornadoes contain moisture and are in fact made visible at least in part, by condensation. These are simply typical tornadoes. Some tornadoes are surrounded by heavy rain that falls even right where the tornado is. This is often called a rain wrapped tornado. A tornado that occurs on a body of water such as a lake or the ocean is called a waterspout.
Tornadoes come in different shapes, and the shape changes during the life of the tornado. Some tornadoes are like thin tubes or ropes, some look like large wedges. If it is wrapped in rain, or there isn't enough light, it can be hard to see a tornado. Sometimes clouds may look like a tornado but aren't, so looking for other clues like rotation is important.
Some fish have no gender at all, this is caused by chemical and other unwanted toxins polluting lakes that fish have their habitat in. The pollution changes their organs, making them unable to reproduce.
People have been hunting them for some reason, due to habitat destruction, and also suffers diseases from domestic dogs(such as rabies and distemper).
