How do you describe tornado?
A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm cloud to the ground. It is often characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud and can cause significant damage to structures and vegetation due to its high winds. Tornadoes are most commonly seen in severe thunderstorms and are capable of reaching speeds exceeding 200 mph.

Why can birds sit on wires?
Electricity follows a path of least resistance. This means that the current will flow through whatever conducts it easiest. Birds are poor conductors so there's no reason for the current to take a detour. However, if the bird touches something else that reaches the ground the bird will complete a circuit and severe injury or death will occur.

Which types of seismic wave produces the most severe ground movement?
Rayleigh waves (which are a type of surface wave) produce the largest amplitude and so most severe ground movements during earthquakes.Surface waves produce the most severe ground movements. They produce movements similar to waves in the water, where the water's particles move in a pattern that is almost circular. Surface waves can make the ground roll like ocean waves or shake buildings from side to side. They move more slowly then P waves or S waves.
