Manmade structures are often damaged or destroyed by tornadoes. Roofs and windows are usually the most vulnerable parts. Violent tornadoes can completel obliterate well built houses.

Do you often see anatomical variations that render anatomical positions and directional terms inaccurate?
no
How do vestigial structures provide evidence that we evolved from organisms that existed in the past?
Vestigial structures are anatomical features that have lost their original function in an organism but are still present. These structures often have similarities to functional structures in related organisms, suggesting a shared evolutionary history. By studying these vestigial structures, scientists can infer how organisms have changed over time through the process of evolution.
What are dichotomous keys often more useful to scientists than field guides?
Dichotomous keys are more accurate and are much more detailed tha fieldguids
What is the definition of the word dichotomous?

What is the anatomical evidence for the of evolution?
Firstly and most importantly it is the fact that the anatomies of all life follow a pattern of nested hierarchies. More recognisably, we often find atavistic structures that have diminished function in modern lifeforms, but not in sister clades or in more basal (and possibly extinct) lifeforms.
What is the term for a reduced often functionless anatomical structure that serves as evidence of an organisms evolutionary past?

What are mix and match structures?
Some structures are combinations of different types of structures:- Football helmets are shell structures - to protect the head, with a frame structure attached in front - to protect the face.- Hydro-electric dams are mass structures, with frame structures inside to house the generators- Airplanes are frame structures, with a 'skin' that acts like a shell - giving it the added strength to resist stresses and making it lightweight and flexible.- Domed buildings combine shell and frame construction- Warehouses are often built with columns to support the roof (frame) and concrete blocks, (mass structures) which stay in place because of their weight.
