Tornadoes can be studied:
- Retrospectively from the damage they leave behind and patterns in that damage.
- Directly, by scanning them with Doppler radar and trying to place probes in their paths.
- Virtually, byt creating computer models of tornadoes.

Who studies hurricanes and tornadoes?
Since tornadoes and hurricanes are weather phenomena they are studied by meteorologists, or weather scientists.
What are three ways in which a tornado is different from a hurricane?
Three major differences between tornadoes and hurricanes areHurricanes are much bigger than tornadoes, typically hundred of miles across while tornadoes are usually under a quarter mile wide.A hurricane is an independent, self sustaining storm system while a tornado depends on a parent thunderstorm.Hurricanes only form over warm ocean water while tornadoes usually form over land and can form in virtually any climate short of polar.
What are the three states that have the most tornadoes called?
The three states with the most tornadoes are Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. They are part of a region called Tornado Alley, which extends beyond those states as well.
Why are tornadoes black?
Not all tornadoes are black. There are two ways a tornado may appear black. First, the tornado may be back lit, causing it to appear dark. Some tornadoes lift large amounts of soil into the air. In such a situation, if the soil in an area is black, the tornado will likely be black as well.
Does the state of Kansas get a lot of tornadoes?
Yes, Kansas is in the top three or four states in tornado frequency.
Who studies tornadoes today?
Tornadoes are studied by meteorologist, some of whom are storm chasers.
Who studies hurricanes and tornadoes?
Since tornadoes and hurricanes are weather phenomena they are studied by meteorologists, or weather scientists.
What do you call a scientist who studies tornadoes?
Since tornadoes are a form of weather, they are studied by weather scientists. A weather scientist is a meteorologist.
What type of scientist studies natural hazards such as volcanoes and tornadoes?
It depends on the type of hazard. Volcanoes are studied by volcanologists, who are a variety of geologist, while tornadoes are studied by meteorologists (weather scientists). Most natural hazards are of a meterological or geological nature, and so will be studied by meteorolgists or geologists.
Why do tornadoes spin different ways?
on the southern hemisphere tornadoes spin clockwise and on the north hemisphere tornadoes spin anticlockwise
What are three ways that tornadoes and hurricanes are similar?
They are both storms that produce very powerful windsBoth rotate.Both produce intense low pressure.
What three states have had the most tornadoes to occur?
The top three states for tornadoes are Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
How are tornadoes controlled?
Tornadoes are not controlled. Tornadoes are influenced by temperature, humidity, wind, and air pressure, wind interact in complex ways.
What is the name of the person that learns about tornadoes?
Since tornadoes are a form of weather they would be studied mostly by meteorologists. Some of these may be storm chasers, who conduct research in the field with tornadoes as they occur, though most storm chasers are not scientists.
What are many ways to say studied?
Researched
What are the three main months of tornadoes activity?
The three most active months for tornadoes in the United States are April, May, and June.
A scientist who has studied meteorology and oceanography would be best suited to research what?
The relationship between formation of tornadoes and altitude.
