An F3 tornado will destroy most trees and leave most houses partially destroyed. An F5 tornado will completely destroy most structures, debark, trees, and send them airborne.
It doesn't really stand for anything, apart from the F for Fujita scale. 5 is the highest on that scale for tornado intensity.
No. The pressure drop inside a tornado is not enough to cause buildings to explode. Tornadoes tear buildings apart with wind and debris.
It is a myth. The pressure drop inside a tornado is not large enough to cause significant damage. Buildings are torn apart by the powerful winds of a tornado.
Usually after a tornado or some people call a twister. Most buildings are torn apart. . Trees are usually ripped out of the ground or get ripped apart. Hopefully people in the path of the tornado get cover.
Trees can be largely torn apart by an F2 tornado but most buildings will remain standing. An F2 tornado will remove the roof from a typical frame house but leave most walls standing. Weak structures such as mobile homes, barns, and garages will likely be destroyed.
The powerful winds insider a tornado can damage or destroy homes and buildings. As buildings come apart potentially deadly debris goes airborne.
A tornado produces very powerful, rotating winds. Buildings and vegetation in the path of the tornado may be damage or outright torn apart by these winds. If the tornado is strong enough, it will pick up pieces of buildings it destroys, creating fast-moving debris that adds to the destruction. Flying debris, collapsing buildings, and being picked up and thrown by the winds may lead to injury or death.
A tornado moves air and objects from one place to another and can tear apart buildings and trees. However, in all of this the chemical composition of everything hit by the tornado remains the same. Therefore all changes in this case are physical.
Tornadoes are disasters because their powerful winds can rip apart buildings, and turn objects into deadly projectiles that can inflict even more damage.
Yes. A tornado often produces a loud roar from a combination of the wind and buildings and trees being torn apart. It is said to sound like a freight train.
There are a couple sources of sound that are readily apparent. First there is the sound that made by the powerful wind as it moves across the ground, trees, and buildings. Some times you can also hear the sound of buildings being torn apart.
Tornadoes produce very strong winds that can tear structures apart. People are typically killed by flying debris or collapsing buildings.
