Tornado damage has traditionally been assessed on the Fuijta scale, however in recent years the United States an Canada have adopted the Enhanced Fujita scale in its place.
The Fujita scale is also known as the 'F Scale' it measures the strength of a tornado on a scale of F-0 to F-5. F5 is the strongest and most damaging
That is impossible as the Richter scale is for measuring earthquakes.
There are what can be called Pearson numbers that can be used to rate a tornado's width and the distance it travels, but these are rarely used. In most cases a tornado's width is measured in yards or, if it is a very large tornado, in miles and fractions of a mile (meters and kilometers if you prefer the metric scale).
by scale called the fujita scale or (enhanced fujita scale) to measure intensity or strength of a tornado based on the severity of damage.
Damage severity
fujita scale
The Fujita scale is also known as the 'F Scale' it measures the strength of a tornado on a scale of F-0 to F-5. F5 is the strongest and most damaging
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.
The Fujita scale really measure only one thing: the intensity of a tornado based on damage severity.
Tornado damage has traditionally been rated on the Fujita scale. However, the United States and Canada now rate tornado damage on the similar Enhanced Fujita scale.
That is impossible as the Richter scale is for measuring earthquakes.
The EF Scale (Enhanced Fujita Scale) measures the strength of a tornado from EF0 to EF5 based on damage An EF1 is the second weakest category, with estimated wind from 86 to 110 mph. Damage includes badly stripped roofs, broken windows, and overturned trailers.
The rIchter scale measures the damage level of an earthquake
Originally the Fujita scale was created to measure this. More recently the Enhanced Fujita Scale was created to serve the main function.
There are what can be called Pearson numbers that can be used to rate a tornado's width and the distance it travels, but these are rarely used. In most cases a tornado's width is measured in yards or, if it is a very large tornado, in miles and fractions of a mile (meters and kilometers if you prefer the metric scale).
The Enhanced Fujita Scale rates the strength of a Tornado by the damage it has caused!
The rating on the Fujita or F scale of a tornado is determined by the severity of the damage it causes. Different levels of tornado have different levels of damage severity, ranging from the minor damage of an F0 tornado the the total destruction of an F5.
