How fast does a tornado whirl?

Winds in a tornado may range from 65 mph to over 300 mph (the exact upper limit is not known). Most tornadoes have winds less than 110 mph (EF0 and EF1), but the ones that cause the most damage (EF3-EF5) have winds over 135 mph.

Is a waterspout a tornado?

Yes it is a tornado over the water. However it is easier for a tornado to form over water and is generally smaller and weaker. Waterspouts are generally not officially counted as tornadoes unless they hit land.


How does a fire tornado form and what are the factors that contribute to its creation?

A fire tornado, also known as a fire whirl, forms when intense heat from a fire creates a rotating column of air. Factors that contribute to its creation include strong winds, high temperatures, and the presence of a large and intense fire. The combination of these elements can lead to the formation of a fire tornado.


How does a fire tornado start and what factors contribute to its formation?

A fire tornado, also known as a fire whirl, forms when intense heat from a fire creates a rotating column of air. Factors that contribute to its formation include strong winds, high temperatures, and the presence of a large and intense fire. The combination of these elements can create a spinning vortex of flames that resembles a tornado.


How is a fire tornado formed and what are the factors that contribute to its creation?

A fire tornado, also known as a fire whirl, is formed when intense heat and wind combine to create a spinning vortex of flames. Factors that contribute to its creation include high temperatures, strong winds, and the presence of a large and continuous fuel source, such as a wildfire. The interaction between these elements can lead to the formation of a fire tornado.


Are tsunamis more dangerous then tornado's?

i think a tsunami is more dangerous then a tornado because a tsunami is a seaquake that causes huge waves the waves are so big it could bring all the water to land the pressure of the water can destroy houses and bring people and things to sea theres no safety for tsunami.a tornado is a huge spriling wind that comes down from the sky sometimes tornadoes are called whirl winds it would be safer to have a tornado coming.

Does a fire tornado start with a fire on the ground or does the fire come down with the tornado or start from lightning?

The "fire tornado" forms from the fire; it doesn't really matter how the fire starts. Also, a "fire tornado" is more properly called a fire whirl as it technically isn't a tornado.


How fast can a fire tornado go?

A fire tornado, also known as a fire whirl, can reach wind speeds of up to 100 miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour) or more. These swirling columns of flames can form during intense wildfires when conditions, such as extreme heat and turbulent winds, create a vortex of flames and hot air. The speed and intensity of a fire tornado can vary based on the surrounding environment and the intensity of the fire that generates it.


How fast are the winds of a fire tornado?

It is difficult to determine because, for understandable reasons, nobody has tried to measure them. Winds on a fire whirl can potentially exceed 100 miles per hour.
