What was the strongest wind speed recorded for hurricane sandy?
Hurricane Sandy has peak sustained wind of 110 mph.
What is the strongest wind at Mawson station in Antarctica?
Yes. Antarctic winds are katabatic, and fall from the polar plateau to sea level, pulled by gravity and cold air seeking its low level. Antarctica is the highest continent -- and the windiest content. There is no continent in the Arctic to produce such winds.
Which has higher wind speed hurricanes or tornadoes?
There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.
Why does Antarctica have wind speeds up to 300Km?
The wind speed you quote is an exaggeration.The top wind speed measured on the continent is just under 200Km per hour. It is caused by the Katabatic winds that fall downhill from the polar plateau, which is about 2,835m above sea level. These winds are caused by gravity and the rotation of the earth.
Is wind the strongest agent of erosion?
Wind speed is certainly a contributing factor to the amount of erosion. The higher the wind speed, the more force it has against objects. This means that it can push deeper into the soil to loosen and blow away more soil particles than a milder wind.
Antarctica's average wind speed?
The average wind speed is over 70km per hour.
What is the strongest wind for a tornado?
The actual maximum wind speed for a tornado is not known. The strongest wind ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph.
What is antarctica's lowest wind speed?
There are brief moments during the year when there is no wind.
What was the strongest wind speed in San Diego?
113 mph
What was the strongest wind speed recorded for hurricane sandy?
Hurricane Sandy has peak sustained wind of 110 mph.
Why is wind speed measured in antarctica?
To see how fast it is blowing you silly goose:)
Is a hurricane the most powerful natural disaster?
No. In terms of wind speed a tornado is the strongest. In terms of energy released and earthquake is the strongest.
Is Katrina the strongest storm?
No. It was the most destructive, but by no means the strongest. Other storms have been stronger in terms of both wind speed and barometric pressure.
Is their wind in Antarctica?
there is a bit of wind in Antarctica as it is a windy place.
What is the average wind speed of Antarctica?
Over the whole continent hard to tell but a wind turbine is being installed at Scott base (New Zealand) because it has an average wind speed of 29 km/h. Vostok station (Russia) has 18 km/h. Mawson Station (Australia) averages 67 km/h the windiest place on earth.
What is the tempurater in Antarctica?
In the summer, Antarctica is approximately -60 degrees. In the winter, it's approximatlely -80 degrees. When there are blizzards, it gets a lot colder, depending on the speed of wind.
Is wind the strongest?
no
