A tornado will produce a very rapid increase in wind speed and similarly rapid changes in wind direction. This is because the wind in a tornado spins around a central axis at high speed. Wind direction shifts as different parts of the tornado pass over.

A tornado is a violent and rotating column of air that forms under specific atmospheric conditions. It can significantly increase wind speed, sometimes exceeding 200 mph, and dramatically change wind direction as it moves through an area. This is due to the intense rotational forces created by the tornado, which disrupt and manipulate the surrounding air flow.

Can you activate your face-down 'Trap Hole' if you opponent Flip Summons 'Tornado Bird'?

Yes. Tornado Bird is a Flip Effect, which triggers and uses a chain. Trap Hole can be chained to this. Trap Hole will resolve first and destroy Tornado Bird, then Tornado Bird's effect will resolve and return two face-down Spell or Traps to hand.If Trap Hole was targeted, it will not return to hand. Activated Normal Spells and Traps, Quick-play Spells, and Counter Traps are unaffected by card effects that return them to hand or deck. Tornado Bird's effect would affect the other target, but the activated cards will go to the graveyard when the chain has resolved.


What is the difference between a normal tornado and a fire tornado?

A normal tornado is a violently rotating column of air the descends from the rotating updraft of a thunderstorm. A fire tornado or firewhirl, which is technically not a tornado, is a vortex of smoke and/or flame that forms at ground level from the updraft of an intense fire. Firewhirls can potentially produce winds equivalent to an EF0 or EF1 tornado, but the main threat is their ability to spread a fire further.


Is a waterspout tornado greater than a regular tornado?

Is there a name for tornadoes that starts with ''a''?

No. Tornadoes do not have names; hurricanes do. One term relating to tornadoes that starts with 'a' is anticyclonic.

That is, it spins clockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere.
