What else can I help you with?
Can scientists create tornadoes?
Not real tornado. Scientists have produces small vortices in labs that resemble tornadoes, and have simulated tornadoes in supercomputers, but they cannot create real tornadoes.
How can scientists keep track of tornadoes?
Scientists track tornadoes using Doppler radar and reports from eyewitnesses.
What are the various ways that scientists try to prevent tornadoes?
Currently, none. Most scientists have acknowledged that it is impossible to prevent tornadoes.
Do scientists name tornadoes?
No.
What scientist studies tornados?
Since tornadoes are a form of weather, the scientists who study tornadoes are weather scientists of meteorologists.
What are the scientists called that chase tornadoes?
People who study tornadoes are a type of meteorologist.
Have scientists ever found out how a tornadoes work?
no
What are scientists doing to improve tornadoes?
Nothing. Tornadoes are a natural phenomenon. We cannot change their nature.
What are scientists doing to increase the warning time for tornadoes?
Scientists are studying the storms that produce tornadoes, looking for indicators of tornado development that could give earlier warnings.
Which of the following is true of tornadoes?
Tornadoes follow a predictable pattern of formation and dissipation.
What are fire tornadoes also called?
They are also called fire whirls. This is the term preferred by scientists as they technically are not tornadoes.
What do scientist understand about tornadoes so far?
Scientists understand that tornadoes are a type of small but violent windstorm with both intense rotating winds and very strong updrafts. Tornadoes form from strong thunderstorms, but scientists only partially understand the exact mechanisms of their formation. (see below links for more information). Scientists know that tornadoes vary in strength, size, forward speed and duration. Although stronger tornadoes tend to be larger and longer lasting, this is not always the case. These tornadoes can cause anything from minor damage to total destruction. Tornadoes usually follow a straight path, but can make turns while others have followed meandering paths. Tornadoes often occur in outbreaks, where multiple tornadoes form from one storm system within a day or two. The strongest of tornadoes often occur in such outbreaks. Some tornadoes break down to produce multiple suction vortices, which produce narrow, curved swaths of damage that is more severe than that from the rest of the tornado. The are call multiple vortex or multivortex tornadoes. Many of the strongest tornadoes are multivortex.
