Tornadoes owe their extremely fast winds in part to something called the conservation of angular momentum. If something that is rotation contracts in width then the spinning must speed up, such as with a spinning ice skater pulling in her arms. Tornadoes form when a larger but less intense mass of rotating air tightens and intensifies.

Is a tornado a slow process or a rapid process?
In terms of weather a tornado is a very fast process.
How fast does an EF6 tornado spin at?
There is no such thing as an EF6 tornado. Estimated winds for an EF5 tornado start at just over 200 mph and have no upper bound.
What are the forms of energy found in a tornado?
The energy in a tornado is kinetic energy, primarily in the form of very fast moving winds.
How fast were the winds of the Flint-Beecher tornado?
It is impossible to know exactly how fast the winds were as we did not have the tools to measure a tornado's winds back then. But since the tornado was rated F5 (equivalent to EF5 on the new scale) winds were probably well over 200 mph.
How fast is an f4 tornado?
The estimated wind range for an F4 tornado is 207-260 mph. On the Enhanced Fujita scale this was change to 166-200 mph for an EF4 tornado.
Explain the difference between how fast a tornado is moving and how fast its rotational winds are?
How fast a tornado is moving refers to how fast the tornado itself travels from point A to point B. For example, a tornado moving towards at 30 mph and is a mile away will reach you in 2 minutes. The rotational winds of a tornado refers to how fast the tornado itself is spinning, which is generally faster than its forward speed.
How fast is the middle of a tornado?
i think the middle of the tornado is completely still.
How fast is the fastestest tornado?
Winds in a tornado can get up to 300 mph.
Does a tornado have wind?
A tornado IS wind- very fast winds spinning in a circle.
How fast does a tornado jet go?
The Tornado's max speed is 1,490 mph
Is a tornado a slow process or a rapid process?
In terms of weather a tornado is a very fast process.
Where does the damage come from the most in a tornado?
Most damage in a tornado is caused by the extremely fast winds.
How do people know how fast a tornado goes?
In terms of how fast a tornado is moving, the tornado is tracked on radar. The forward speed is calculated based on how far it moves in a given period of time. The wind speed of a tornado is estimated based on the severity of the damage it causes.
What does a tornado feel like if you touch it?
A tornado is not a solid thing that you can touch, it is a vortex of very fast wind.
How fast are the wind speeds in a tornado?
depends on size of the tornado anywhere from 65 to over 300 mph.
What is the code on Tornado jockey to get all levels and F5 tornado?
as you can see your supposed to destroy things as fast as you can
How fast are wind speeds in a tornado?
depends on size of the tornado anywhere from 65 to over 300 mph.
