The perfect setting for a tornado to occur would be: Upper Level winds are strong, and in a very different direction from those near the ground. A low pressure system pulls air from the Gulf of Mexico northward, creating very hot, humid weather. At the same time it pulls in cool air from the north and dry air from the west, pushing those air masses into the warm moist air mass, forming a cold front and a dry line, causing thunderstorms to spring up. The cold front and dry line intersect, forming a triple point. The storms become strong and begin rotating, and have the potential of producing tornadoes. The storms at the triple point are especially violent, and have the greatest potential for producing tornadoes.

What signs would you see if a tornado was going to occur?
Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms and so are often preceded by heavy rain, strong winds, and hail. Specific signs that a tornado may soon develop include rotation in the clouds, a persistent lowering of the cloud base in or near that rotation, and a clear slot opening up near the rotation. Some people report seeing greenish clouds before or during a tornado. While this phenomenon does sometimes occur, it is not necessarily associated with tornadoes.
Is a late afternoon calmness and a yellow sky good warning sign that a tornado could occur?
No it is not. A yellow sky and calm conditions would only be associated with a tornado if you are on the tail end of a thunderstorm, and even then it would merely indicate that the storm was leaving more often than it would indicate a tornado. The yellow sky is simply a product of the light from the low sun passing through dense storm clouds. The only true sign that storm might produce a tornado is rotation in the clouds.If you are concerned about the potential for a tornado check the website of the National Weather Service or a battery-powered weather radio.
What is better to find a tornado with. radar or aneroid barometer?
A a radar is better: it can detect a tornado at a distance. A barometer would be of no use unless the tornado came dangerously close.
Why is the eye of the tornado safe?
It isn't. Although the eye of a tornado is relatively calm, to get to it you have to go through the core winds of the tornado. It would be impossible to stay in the eye for very long.
What type of scientist would predict a tornado?
A meteorologist.
What layer of the atmosphere would a tornado occur in?
A tornado would occur in the troposphere, the layer closest to the Earth.
Would a tornado likely occur in Maryland?
Tornadoes are not common in Maryland but they do occur there. It is inevitable that there will be more.
What happens after a tornado strikes in snow?
It would be highly unusual for a tornado to strike an area where there is snow on the ground. Tornadoes generally occur during periods of warm weather. If such an event were to occur it would be little different from a tornado striking under ordinary circumstances. The tornado would likely lift some snow into the air, but that would be of little to no consequence compared with the damage tornadoes usually inflict.
What happens in a f6 tornado?
There is no such thing as an F6 tornado. The highest rating a tornado can be assigned is F5. Even if a tornado were to occur with winds in the supposed F6 range, damage would be no different from that of an F5 as all virtually structures would be obliterated anyway.
Does a tornado occur some place else but have a different name?
Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere that gets thunderstorms. What they are called depends on the language, though an English speaker would still call it a tornado.
Can a iceblock house with stand a tornado?
Most likely not. Perhaps an EF0 tornado but nothing higher than that. But since tornado generally occur in warm weather the house would probably melt anyway.
What would happen if an f12 tornado hit?
There is no such thing as an F12 tornado. Fujita, the person who created the rating scale, put wind speed estimates for ratings up to F12 for purely mathematical reasons. He did not believe that such a tornado was possible. If such a tornado were to occur, the supersonic winds would cause utter devastation that would resemble the effects of the shockwave of an atomic bomb.
What time of year and in what areas would a spotter be most likely to see a tornado?
Tornadoes can occur any time of the year, but are most likely in the months of April through June. Spotters would most likely be able to see a tornado in an open area, with an unobstructed view. Most tornadoes occur between the hours of 4 and 9 PM, but can occur at any time of the day.
If a tornado has been spotted a what would be issued?
a tornado warning would be issued if it is in your county and a tornado watch if it is out of your county.
Where do tornadoes occur most frequently?
Tornadoes occur the most in Tornado Alley, a region in the United states that includes Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, South Dakota and Iowa. While tornadoes can occur elsewhere, nowhere else in the world do they occur more frequently.
When did a tornado occur?
There have been tens of thousands of recorded tornadoes and many more that were not recorded. It would be impossible to list all dates. As of October 15, 2012 the most recent confirmed tornado was on October 14 in the town of Mayfield, Kentucky.
What sets prices in a perfect market?
market conditions are responsible for price setting, as thing in perfect market are homogeneous, any different product with special feature would have a high price for it .
