Which scale is used to classify tornadoes?
The United States and several other countries use the Enhanced Fujita scale to classify tornadoes, which is an upgraded version of the Fujita scale.
When does the Fahrenheit scale used?
When you are in the US or its territories.
What is used in the U.S Celsius or Fahrenheit?
The Fahrenheit scale was the primary temperature standard for climatic, industrial and medical purposes in most English-speaking countries until the 1960s. In the late 1960s and 1970s, the Celsius (formerly Centigrade) scale was adopted by most of these countries as part of the standardizing process called metrication (or metrification). Only in the United States and a few other countries (such as Belize) does the Fahrenheit system continue to be used, and only for non-scientific use. Most other countries have adopted Celsius as the primary scale in all use.
How do you write 1billion in figure?
Since I use the long scale (as used in countries like Europe) I write it as: 1000000000000 Others who use the short scale (as used in countries like USA) write it as: 1000000000
How many zeros are in 4 trillion?
In the US and many other countries, using the "short scale," there are 12. The number is 4,000,000,000,000 (4 x 1012). In some non-English-speaking countries (and rarely in the UK) the long scale is used, where the number of zeros is 18. On the long scale, a trillion is a million million million.
Is the centigrade temperature scale still used today?
Yes, centigrade is a synonym for Celcius, which is used in the vast majority of countries around the world. The United States is one of only a handful of countries that retains the Fahrenheidt scale.
What is the temperature scale?

What scale could you measure tornado damage?
There are three scale that can be used. The Fujita Scale (F0 to F5) which was used rotate tornadoes in the United States until 2007 and still is used in other countries such as Canada. The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF0 to EF5) which uses essentially the same categories as the Fujita scale, only the wind estimates are adjusted and damage analysis is more detailed. It is used primarily in the United States. The TORRO scale (T0 to T11) uses similar damage and wind estimates to the Fujita scale, but has 2 categories for every 1 on the Fujita Scale. It is primarily used in Britain.
What is Celsius used for?
The Celsius (or Centigrade) scale is the predominant scale used to measure temperature worldwide. The United States is one of only a few countries where the Fahrenheit scale remains more common. A third scale, Kelvin, is used in some specialist applications, such as by physicists.
How many zeros are there in a trillion?
In countries that use the "short scale" for naming integer multiples of ten, there are 12 zeros in a trillion. In countries that use the "long scale" there are 18 zeros in a trillion. The long scale is used in much of continental Europe and Latin America. The short scale is use by most English-speaking and Arabic-speaking countries.
How many noughts in 1 trillion?
On the short scale used in the US and other English-speaking countries, a trillion has 12 zeroes (noughts). It is 1 x 1012.
How is oil used in other countries?
