What is the fujita scale for tornadoes based on?

The Fujita scale for tornadoes is based on the damage caused by the tornado, including the estimated wind speeds needed to cause that level of damage. It ranges from F0 (weakest) to F5 (strongest) and is used to categorize the intensity of tornadoes.

Are f15 tornadoes real?

There is no specific tornado classification called "F15." The Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale is used to categorize tornadoes based on their intensity, ranging from EF0 to EF5. The EF5 tornado is the most intense, with estimated wind speeds over 200 mph.


How are tornadoes different from each other?

Tornadoes can differ in size, strength, duration, and the path they take. The Enhanced Fujita Scale is used to categorize tornadoes based on their intensity, ranging from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). Factors like wind speed, width of the tornado, and the extent of damage can vary from one tornado to another.


How small or big can a tornado be?

Tornadoes can vary in size, with the majority being around 50-200 feet wide. However, they can range from very small, known as gustnadoes or landspouts, to very large, with diameters exceeding one mile. The Enhanced Fujita Scale is used to categorize tornadoes based on their intensity and resulting damage.

How did the F-scale help scientist learn more about unpredictable tornadoes?

The F-scale, or Fujita scale, helped scientists study tornado intensity by providing a way to categorize tornadoes based on the damage they caused. By analyzing the damage pattern caused by tornadoes of different intensities, scientists were able to better understand the characteristics and behavior of tornadoes and improve their forecasting and warning systems.


Can radar be used to detect tornadoes?

Yes. In fact radar is the primary tool used in detecting tornadoes.
