What makes the strong winds on earth?
Strong winds result from convection currents in the air, which result from sunlight, which for various reasons will heat some air more than other air.
What was Hurricane Sandy's wind speed?
At peak intensity Hurricane Sandy struck Cuba with sustained winds of 110 mph. By the time Sandy hi the U.S. winds had weakened to 80 mph with some stronger gusts.
Why are metallic bonds in some metals stronger than bonds in other metals?
because some metals have a stronger attraction toward each other, its just a natural occurence. there is no scientific explanation. generally the shinier the metal is, the more likely it will be to attract to another element.
What is the difference between a hurricane and a gale?
Depends on how dangerous the hurricane is. It can be stronger or weaker than tornado, so there is some overlap, however, the very strongest of tornadoes have winds that can exceed 300mph while the very strongest of hurricanes have winds up to about 200 mph. However storms this strong are very rare. In most cases the winds fall into the same range.
What factor forms fronts which in turn creates storms?
The fronts that produce the most storms are those that have the highest difference in temperature, and the highest levels of water vapor. Warm, moist air is unstable, and contact with colder air can trigger extreme weather events.The key factor is convergence of winds produced in the area along the front. The greater the convergence of winds, the more upward motion. Another key ingredient is how unstable the environment is that the front is pushing into. Warm and moist air near the surface and very cold air aloft creates instability. This will usually determine the strength of thunderstorms. A long-lived storm can produce large hail and perhaps a tornado, when the wind increases with height and changes direction, typically in a clockwise manner.Some fronts produce stronger storms than others because some fronts have higher winds than others. They have more energy. They are stronger than fronts that have low winds.
Why some winds are stronger than others?
On a field map, the winds are the strongest when the isobars are very close together, and the pressure gradient is high.
What makes some winds stronger than others?
the strongest winds blow in canoga park during winter and only in December, Jan, and Feb
What makes the strong winds on earth?

Is wind stronger than tornado?
A tornado is wind. Even a relatively weak tornado will produce stronger winds than you would encounter under normal circumstances. Winds in the strongest tornadoes may exceed 300 miles per hour, a speed no other storm on Earth can match. That said, most tornadoes are not that strong; winds in the vast majority are less than 150 miles per hour. Hurricanes and even some severe thunderstorms can produce winds that exceed those of a moderate tornado.
What was the wind speed of the tornado in Smithville Mississippi?
The Smithville, Mississippi tornado had estimated peak winds of 205 mph (though some analysis indicates far stronger winds), earning it a rating of EF5.
Why do some parts of the body grow more than others?
because they are stronger than the other parts of the body
Why is gravity in some planets more some not?
Gravity is stronger on some planets because the planet's core is much more dense. Making it's gravitational pull stronger. Which is making gravity stronger. that is sortof true
Are cyclones faster than tornadoes?
It depends on the cyclone, and the tornado. In some cases cyclone winds and tornado winds fall into the same range. However, tornado winds are generally stronger. By definition, a tornado must produce winds strong enough to cause damage; the same is not true of a cyclone. The very strongest tornadoes produce winds in excess of 300 mph, the fastest winds on earth.
How are ocean waves made?
The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds cause larger waves.
What was Hurricane Sandy's wind speed?
At peak intensity Hurricane Sandy struck Cuba with sustained winds of 110 mph. By the time Sandy hi the U.S. winds had weakened to 80 mph with some stronger gusts.
Why are some hurricanes more dangerous than others?
Because more people live in hurricane areas around the world today and weather tracking systems are not 100% accurate. There is also higher risk of property damage today because there are more hotels, etc on the coast which can not be moved no matter how much warning you have.
Why are metallic bonds in some metals stronger than bonds in other metals?
because some metals have a stronger attraction toward each other, its just a natural occurence. there is no scientific explanation. generally the shinier the metal is, the more likely it will be to attract to another element.
