The factors affecting tornado intensity are not fully understood. But an increase in the intensity of the parent thunderstorm, often from encountering warmer, moister air can cause a tornado to intensify.

What is a tornado on the Richter scale?
That is impossible as the Richter scale is for measuring earthquakes.
How do you determine the size of a tornado?
The size of a tornado is determined by the width of the area over which it produces damage. This is not to be confused with the tornado's intensity.
An increase of 20 dB increases the sound intensity by a factor of?
A factor of 100. Every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.A factor of 100. Every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.A factor of 100. Every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.A factor of 100. Every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.
What is the tornado intensity scale based upon?
Damage severity
Does the Fujita scale measure the intensity of a tornado?
Yes. The Fujita scale uses the damage a tornado does to determine its intensity and assign a rating on a scale ranging from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.
What machine is used to determine the intensity a tornado?
No machine is used. The intensity of a tornado is determined by a visual survey of the damage.
What is a tornado on the Richter scale?
That is impossible as the Richter scale is for measuring earthquakes.
In which direction is the position of Tornado Ally shifting if it is and how is this going to affect intensity?
The area of greatest tornado activity appears to be shifting northward. It is unknown how this might affect tornado intensity.
A commonly used guide for tornado intensity is called?
Fujita intensity scale
Does human activity cause or contribute to development or intensity of tornado?
Currently there is no known connection between human activity and tornado formation and intensity.
Who is the author of the tornado intensity and damage?
If you are referring to the Fujita scale, which rates tornado intensity base on damage, its inventor is Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.
How can a tornado's strength be measured?
The intensity of a tornado is estimated based on the severity of the damage it inflicts.
How do you determine the size of a tornado?
The size of a tornado is determined by the width of the area over which it produces damage. This is not to be confused with the tornado's intensity.
An increase of 20 dB increases the sound intensity by a factor of?
A factor of 100. Every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.A factor of 100. Every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.A factor of 100. Every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.A factor of 100. Every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.
When a tornado is measured is it from the cloud or on the ground?
The intensity of a tornado is rated based on damage done on the ground.
How does the intensity of a sound wave change if the distance from the source increases by a factor of 2?
The intensity increases by a factor of 4-APEX
What was the worst tornado?
The worst tornado was the Daulatpur-Salturia tornado in Bangladesh, it killed more than 1300 people but its intensity is unknown.
