EF stands for Enhanced Fujita, which is the name of the scale. It is adapted from the Fujita scale which was developed by Dr. Tetsuya Fujita in 1971.
Enhanced Fujita
Electronic Fuel Injection Sometimes coded EF or EFI. ********* If we are to stay on the subject of photography, in the world of Canon, it means "Electro-Focus" and is the generation of bayonet style mount that followed the FD or "breech-lock" mount. An EF lens focuses via electric motor within the lens. ********* In the context of meteorology, EF stands for the Enhanced Fujita scale, a system for rating the intensity of tornadoes tornadoes currently used in the United States and Canada. The scale runs from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest.
The F stands for Fujita - the name of the scale used to indicate the strength of tornadoes. The E - stands for enhanced.
The highest rating on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale is EF5. Tornadoes this strong are extremely rare. Since the the scale was first put into effect in February of 2007 only ten tornadoes have been rated EF5.
The most common rating for a tornado is EF0, accounting for almost 60% of tornadoes in the U.S. The higher the rating, the less often it occurs.
There is no "category" for winds in a tornado. Tornadoes are measured by the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which simply is a rating based on the amount of damage done. It ranges from weakest EF-0, to strongest EF-5....250mph winds are "capable" of producing EF-5 damage, should it move over certain sturdy structures. However, a tornado over an open field with 250mph will not get an EF-5 rating because it has no sturdy structures for it to damage. Tornadoes are rated after the fact based on the amount of damage done. So while a 250mph wind "could" produce EF-5 damage, it's got to move over the right structures for that damage to be realized and the tornado given that rating.
it depends on the EF rating and how long a tornado lasts for . When there is an EF5 tornado the strongest type just about every building it touches is destroyed
EF stands for Enhanced Fujita. It was changed from the original Fujita or "F" scale in order to provide more accurate ratings and to correct wind speeds. The original Fujita scale's damage descriptions were too generalized and it overestimated the winds of strong tornadoes.
It stands for "Enhanced Fujita" as it is a rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, and updated version of the Fujita scale, created by Tetsuya Fujita.
MyMy answer is that while skinny or thin tornadoes can be weaker, cuz EF-1 tornadoes are thin, OR SKINNY and while the fato huge tornadoes are really destructive and are EF-5 or EF-6 consideres like the EL RENO incident
Meteorologists use a scale for tornadoes called The Fujita Scale. The Fujita Scale was made by Dr. Ted Fujita. It's the strength of the tornado measured from the damage. The scale goes like this: EF-0: Winds: 65-85mph EF-1: Winds: 85-110mph EF-2: Winds: 111-135mph EF-3: Winds: 136-165mph EF-4: Winds: 166-200mph EF-5: Winds: >200mph EF stands for Enhanced Fujita and the numbers are just categories for the tornadoes (0-5)
EF stands for Enhanced Fujita, which is a scale used to rate the intensity and damage caused by tornadoes. The EF scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest), and takes into account the estimated windspeed and the extent of damage to buildings and vegetation.
