Types of ecosystems affected by tornadoes?
Tornadoes mainly occur in temperate climate zones, though can occur elsewhere. Forest and grassland ecosystems are often affected. Many tornado cross onto bodies of water as well. Tornadoes often affect human developed areas such as towns, suburbs, and cities. Due to the low frequency of thunderstorms desert environments rarely get tornadoes.
Do tornadoes rejuvenate the environment?
Not directly. Tornadoes can be very destructive to areas they strike, both natural and developed. New groth will come, however, in areas affected as is the case with any disaster.
What continent or geographic area do tornadoes start?
tornadoes can start in any continent except Antarctica and in the U.S the Midwest is full of rural areas and grassy lands which makes tornadoes to form often in those areas
Are tornadoes commonly found in the highland areas?
Tornadoes are more often associated with plains, but they are not uncommon in some highland areas. Overall climate has more influence on tornado frequency than topography.
Why are only some areas vulnerable to tornadoes?
Most areas do get tornadoes, it is more often a matter of how often an area experiences strong tornadoes than whether or not it gets them at all. The severe thunderstorms that produce tornadoes form best when hot, humid air is available. Another component in tornado development is wind shear. So tornado frequency depends on a regions climate.
Who and what is affected by tornadoes?
EVERYTHING!
How come tornadoes go some places more often but not others?
It depends on the location. Tornadoes usually occur in dry areas with alot of dust, such as a prairie
Why do tornadoes develop in tropical areas?
Warm, moist air, such as that found in the tropics is what fuels thunderstorms, and strong thunderstorms are what produce tornadoes. However, tornadoes are more often found in more temperate areas, where colliding air masses can produce even stronger thunderstorms.
How can you weather tornadoes?
Tornadoes are not landforms, and so cannot be affected by weathering.
Who is most affected by tornadoes?
Texas. It is proven to have the most Tornadoes in the U.S.
Why are tornadoes common in Florida?
Florida has a very warm, moist climate, which provides a lot of energy to power thunderstorms that can produce tornadoes. At the same type it is often affected by extratropical storm systems, which are often a trigger for tornado formations.
Which storms cover large areas hurricanes or tornadoes?
Hurricanes cover large areas typically hundreds of miles across. Tornadoes are small in meteorological terms, often affecting less than a square mile of area.
