What did meteorologists use to figure out that the Joplin tornado was coming?
The main tool they uses was Doppler Radar. With that radar the meteorologists were able to detect rotation in the approaching thunderstorm and knew that it had the potential to produce a tornado 17 minutes before the tornado itself even formed. This was rather fortunate, as the tornado itself touched down only two minutes before it entered Joplin.
Why do weather forecast watch for tornado activity within thundrstorms?
Tornadoes form during thunderstorms. Of all the weather a thunderstorm can produce a tornado is perhaps the most dangerous. Tornadoes can produce very severe damage to property and can kill or inure people, especially those who are not prepared. Because of this it is important to be able to warn people about potential tornadoes
Why are strong tornadoes faster then weak tornadoes?
Strong tornadoes do not necessarily move faster, but the faster winds inside the tornado are the reason they're stronger. There are a number of factors affecting the strength of the winds inside a tornado and scientists still do not fully understand them. One factor simply has to do with the amount of energy in the atmosphere that can power a thunderstorm and thus a tornado. A thunderstorm also has to have strong rotation to produce a tornado, especially a strong one. If the rotation in a storm isn't strong enough, then not much of the energy will go into the winds of the tornado. Finally, the tornado's level or organization influences the winds it can generate. A disorganized tornado is unlikely to be able to focus its energy to produce the extreme winds seen in strong tornadoes.
Why do tornadoes stay off the ground?
Tornadoes are able to stay off the ground due to the incredibly strong updrafts and rotation within the thunderstorm that created them. These updrafts keep the tornado suspended in the air as it moves along the ground.
Why aren't some tornadoes created equally?
It all involves the conditions that lead to them forming. To produce a strong, long tornado a thunderstorm must have strong rotation and a strong updraft, and the relative humidity should be fairly high. In order to produce a long-track tornado, the storm must be able to maintain the tornado-producing state. Weak tornadoes form when conditions are less ideal. Some weak, short-lived tornadoes are spin ups that form outside of a larger supporting circulation.
How Can you prevent a Tornado Watch?
In order to prevent a tornado watch you would need to be able to control the weather, which is impossible.
Can a tornado make the moon turn orange?
No. If there is a tornado the sky will be over cast an you won't be able to see the moon.
Will a monster truck get lifted by a F5 tornado?
Yes. An F3 tornado would probably be able to lift a monster truck.
What is the part of the tornado that touches the ground called?
A tornado that doesn't touch the ground isn't a tornado; it is a funnel cloud. However if the funnel is pulling debris off the ground or making some other type of contact with the ground it is a tornado.
What are things that tell you that there's going to be a tornado?
Nothing is certain, but a major sign is rotation in the clouds during a thunderstorm with a lowering of the cloud base. The stronger the rotation, the more likely there will be a tornado. When a storm is approaching the most important thing to do is listen to your local radio or television station, or to whatever device carries current, local weather reports. Meteorologists are able to tell when a storm is likely to become violent, and whether it is the type of storm that can spawn a tornado. Without the technology used by the weather service, it is not possible to tell with any certainty whether a tornado is possible in any particular storm.
How can a tornado be stopped?
A tornado cannot currently be stopped. Although perhaps future technology may be able to stop or prevent one.
Does a Sims 2 expansion pack have tornadoes?
No, but you may be able to find a mod that has a fake tornado (meaning a Custom Content Tornado)
