How are tornadoes classified?
Here is the Fujita (F) Scale:F-0 40-72 mph, Light damage, chimney damage, tree branches brokenF-1 73-112 mph, Moderate damage, mobile homes pushed off foundation or flipped overF-2 113-157 mph, Considerable damage, mobile homes demolished, trees uprootedF-3 158-205 mph, Severe damage, roofs and walls torn down, trains overturned, cars thrown aroundF-4 207-260 mph, Devastating damage, well-constructed walls leveledF-5 261-318 mph, Violent damage, homes lifted off foundation and carried considerable distances, autos thrown as far as 100 meters.
On celsius scale water boils at what temperature?
100 degrees (at sea level).
How wide and strong is an F2 tornado?
F2 is the beginning of what is called a strong tornado. On the original Fujita scale F2 wind speeds were estimated at 113 to 157 mph. On the Enhanced Fujita scale this was adjusted to 111 to 135 mph, which is believed to correlate better with the damage done. Typical F2 damage includes roofs torn from well-built houses with trailers, barns, and garages completely destroyed. Most walls will be left standing in a well-built house, though weaker ones may collapse. Cars may be lifted and tossed short distances. Large trees will be snapped. Size is not a factor in rating a tornado; ratings are instead based in the severity of the damage done. However, there is a general trend for stronger tornadoes to be larger. F2 tornadoes typically range between 100 yards and a quarter of a mile wide but can be smaller or larger than this in some cases.
What is a tornado rated at with winds of 100 mph?
A tornado with estimated winds of 100 mph would be rated EF1.
Water boils at a temperature of what degrees on the Celsius scale?
The Celsius scale is in fact based on water, it freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees Celsius at 760 mm Hg pressure.
What is the Celsius temperaure scale?
The Celsius temperature scale is referenced to the water's freezing temperature (0 degrees) and the water's boiling temperature (100 degrees at sea level).
How big is a typical tornado?
A typical tornado is about 50 to 100 yards wide.
Which temperature scale measures water boiling at 100 degrees?
Fahrenheit: 212 °F is the boiling point of water.Celsius: 100 °C is the boiling point of water.But, as water (at sea level) begins to boil at the temperatures shown above, the scale used is only relevant to which scale we want to use at the time!When the two scales are shown side by side for comparison, the boiling point is shown at the same level.
What are the boiling points of water on the f and c scale?
212 degrees Fahrenheit and 100 degrees Celsius (at sea level).
How does the air pressure within a tornado compare to that of the area around it?
Air pressure in a tornado is lower than in the surroundings. Verifiable pressure drops of up to 100 millibars, about 10% of sea level pressure, have been recorded inside tornadoes.
What is a safe tornado house?
No house can offer 100% protection from a tornado. The best option is a house with a basement to go to in case of a tornado.
Is 100 degrees Celsius a water's boiling point?
No. The freezing point is 0.00 degrees Celsius. The Celsius scale's 100 degrees equals the boiling point of water at sea level. The Celsius scale has been replaced by the centigrade scale, but it is still common to say Celsius.
