Ted Fujita discovered the Fujita Scale to determine how much strength a tornado has based on the damage it produces.
The Fujita scale is used to determine how strong a tornado is. It is widely used for two reasons: it was the first scale to assess tornado intensity, and it breaks damage down into six easily recognizable levels.
The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to determine its rating.
F2 is a rating on the Fujita scale, which assess tornado intensity based on damage. The scale runs from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest. F2 indicates a strong tornado (most tornadoes are F0 or F1) that can tear the roof from a well-built house and lift cars off the ground.
On the traditional Fujita scale there is no such thing as an F9 tornado. On the TORRO scale used in Britain a T9 tornado is a very violent tornado equivalent to a strong F4 on the Fujita scale. Such a tornado will destroy most buildings in its path.
Yes. The Fujita scale uses the damage a tornado does to determine its intensity and assign a rating on a scale ranging from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.
The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage caused by a tornado to determine its strength. The more severe the damage is the stronger the tornado.
The is no Fajita scale. The Fujita scale provides basic standards by which to assess the damage done by a tornado. Based on the severity of the damage a tornado is assigned a rating, which can range from F0 for the weakest tornadoes to F5 for the strongest.
The Fujita scale uses the severity of damage to determine the strength of a tornado.The Fujita scale rates tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they cause. Scientists examine the damage left by a tornado and determine what level (F0 to F5) best fits it. The overall rating of the tornado comes from the most severe damage it causes.
Its called the enhanced fujita scale...it measures from an EF0 to an EF5 how fast the tornado was spinning. The wind speed is determined by examining damage.
Tornadoes are highly unpredictable. On a time scale of hours it is possible to determine if a general region is at risk of tornadoes. On a time scale of minutes we can determine if a thundershower might soon produce one.
The strongest tornado in the Fujita scale is F5.
On the original Fujita scale a 200 mph wind would correspond to a strong F3 tornado. However, the wind estimates of the original scale have been found to be too high (actual ratings are based on damage severity). Now, on the more accurate Enhanced Fujita Scale 200 mph would be a borderline EF4-EF5 tornado.
