Do tornadoes cause more damage than any other type of storm?
No. While tornadoes may cause the most severe damage of any type of storm, hurricanes cause a greater quantity of damage because they affect a much larger area.
What type of storm could cause tornadoes?
Most tornadoes are associated with a type of storm called a supercell.
What tornadoes cause the most severe type of damage?
EF5 (formerly F5) tornadoes cause the most severe damage. In these tornadoes well-constructed houses are completely swept away, leaving behind empty foundations. Some steel reinforced concrete structures are destroyed. Trees are completely stripped of their bark, roads may be peeled up, and the topsoil can be scoured away.
How do tornadoes effect structures?
Tornadoes can destroye structures and cause varying degrees of damage. Te extent of damage depends on the strength of the tornado and the type and quality of the structure. Damage can range from minor loss of roofing and siding, to the loss of the roof, to complete destruction. Some structures may be completely blown away.
What type of environmental damage would you expect from a tornado?
Most tornadoes are capable of at least breaking tree limbs and downing a few trees. Significant tornadoes uproot and snap large number of trees, in some instances carving large swaths of deforestation. In rare, extremely violent tornadoes the topsoil may be scoured away.
What type of succession do tornadoes cause?
Tornadoes cause secondary succession. They destroy vegetation but leave most of the soil and some seeds in place.
What type of clouds cause tornadoes and thunderstorms?
A cumulonimbus cloud
Which type of succession follows tornadoes?
Secondary succession follows tornadoes, if there is any succession. Tornadoes can bring down many trees and damage vegetation, but they generally leave the soil intact.
What type of rating system do tornadoes have that determine how severe they are?
Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which uses damage sevrity to asses the intensity of a tornado.
What type of landforms can cause isolation?
it cause damage
What type of weather do tornadoes cause?
Tornadoes produce very violent winds, but aside from and do not cause other forms of weather. They are more of a product of different types of weather than a cause.
What type of destruction can a tornado cause?
Damage varies depending on the intensity. Very weak tornadoes (rated EF0) cause minor damage, including missing shingles, downed gutters and broken tree limbs. Stronger tornadoes (e.g. EF2) can tear roofs from most buildings, demolish trailers, and snap large trees. The very strongest of tornadoes (rated EF5) can wipe well-built structures clean off their foundations, strip trees of their bark, and tear asphalt from roads.
