A dust devil is sometimes called a mini tornado, though it is not actually a tornado, because it looks like a small tornado.

What are vertices in a tornado as it is spinning and what do they look like?
Suction vorticies as smaller columns of rotating air within a tornado. They have more intense winds than the rest of the tornado. The suction vortices sometimes look like "mini tornadoes" moving around inside the main circulation.
Where does the wind spin fastest in a tornado?
It depends on the tornado. If it is a single vortex tornado the winds near at the edge of the core will be the fastest. However, many of the strongest tornadoes are multivortex, meaning that they have smaller vorticies (almost like mini tornadoes) inside the main vortex. In a multivortex tornado the fastest winds are within these subvortices.

Simplest level at which life may exist?
The smallest known life-form is a mini-microbe called or descended from what is called archea. If your talking about size. the mini-microbe would be small enough to fit inside the period after this sentence. You can find this mini-micro at wikipedia.com.

Is a dust devil a mini tornado?
No, by definition a tornado connects to both the ground and the base of a thunderstorm. Dust devils typically form on clear days and usually are no more than a few hundred feet tall.
Can a mini tornado pick up a cow?
That depends on what you mean by "mini tornado," as there is no real definition for the term. Some people apply the term to whirlwinds such as dust devils, which aren't really tornadoes. In that case, then no. Sometimes, especially outside of the U.S. tornadoes with relatively narrow damage paths are referred to as "mini tornadoes," regardless of intensity. In that case, such a tornado may be able to lift up a cow depending on how intense it is. One tornado in France in 2008, which some outlets called a "mini tornado" caused isolated F4 damage. Such a tornado could pick up cows and much larger objects.
Is a water tornado a project?
Yes this can be a project because of the water tornado is a mini tornado.
What is a mini tornado?
The term "mini tornado" does not have an exact definition. It has been applied to a number of different phenomena. Some people have called small whirlwinds such as dust devils mini tornadoes. Such whirlwinds are not actual tornadoes but may superficially resemble them. News outlets in Australia and Europe may sometimes refer to the tornadoes they get as "mini tornadoes," even in instances of large, significant tornadoes. They equivocate like this because they are reluctant to admit that tornadoes occur in those areas. People may occasionally call small, weak tornadoes mini tornadoes.
What do they call more than one tornado?
It depends. More than one tornado produce by a cyclic supercell are called a tornado family. Six or more tornadoes produced by the same storm system is called a tornado outbreak. If one tornado forms next to, and circles another it is called a satellite tornado. Another possibility is what is called a multiple vortex tornado. This is a tornado that has several smaller, more intense suction vorticies moving around inside it, almost like mini-twisters. However, it is still considered one tornado even though it may have two or more funnels.
What are the parts of a tornado called?
Most tornadoes have a visible condensation funnel as well as a dust and/or debris cloud. Some tornadoes, have an area similar to the eye of a hurricane called a weak echo region. A few tornado also contain subvorticies, which are almost like mini tornadoes withing the main circulation. Another feature seen in some tornadoes is called an inflow tail or inflow jet, where winds outside the main circulation flow inwards really fast.

Can you classify the Chesapeake Bay study area as a mini tornado alley?
No. While the Chesapeake Bay areas does get tornadoes, it is not particularly tornado prone.
What is the use of a computer mini vacuum?
A computer mini vacuum is useful as it allows you to hoover all of the dust and dirt from the keyboard and the monitor and ensures that the computer is dust free. Dust can cause problems for computer circuits so its recommended to hoover your pc regularly
What are mini tornadoes?
First we need to figure out what we mean by "mini tornado", as the term has no definition. Some European and Australian news outlets refer to the tornadoes they get as "mini tornadoes" regardless of how large or strong they are. These form in the same manner as any tornado. Some people might use the term "mini tornado" to refer to any tornado that is comparatively small and weak. These form in the same way strong tornadoes do, but with less ideal conditions. Weak tornadoes and waterspouts can form in a couple other ways as well. Finally, sometimes small whirlwinds such as dust devils are sometimes called "mini tornadoes." These are not actual tornadoes and have their own ways of forming. As to formation: The classic means of tornado formation is through a kind of thunderstorm called a supercell. Supercells typically form along a cold front or dry line, at the edge of or just inside a warm, humid air mass. The storms are fueled by the warm, moist air and rotate due to interactions with a condition called wind shear, where wind speed and direction changes with altitude. The area of rotation in these storms is called a mesocyclone. Under the right conditions a downdraft can wrap around the mesocyclone, tightening and intensifying it into a tornado. Mesocyclones can sometimes be embedded in a squall line as well. Sometimes "spin up" tornadoes can form along the turbulent leading edge of a severe squall line. These tornadoes are generally short-lived and weak. There is yet another kind of tornado called a landspout. These form when there is a broad circulation of air at ground level that gets caught in the updraft of a developing thunderstorm, which stretches and tightens it into an intense vortex. Waterspouts form in a similar way. Finally we have other whirlwinds that are not considered tornadoes, but look a bit like them. Dust devils are the most common example. These form on days when the sun heats a patch of ground, creating a layer of extra hot air right at ground level. This will rise up in a thermal. Sometimes this updraft will catch an eddy in the wind, causing it to tighten and intensify, lifting dust and sand into the air. People have also observed things such as "haydevils" which are essentially the same thing. Finally there are the whirls that pop up on windy days. These are simply eddies that form from the wind going around things such as buildings and trees. They sometimes can be seen when they pick up snow, leaves, or other light materials.
