What natural disaster is measured on the Richter scale?
the Richter scale measures earthquakes...i learned that in science! we were learning about earthquakes. the moment magnitude scale also measures earthquakes but in a different way...that was a fun unit:D
How are most tornadoes classified as in the US?
Tornadoes in the U.S. are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (or the original Fujita scale fore tornadoes Prior to February 2007), which runs from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest. Ratings are based on wind speed estimates derived from the severity of the damage done. About 60% of tornadoes are rated EF0.
How air pressure change by the type of tornado?
If by type you mean Fujita (F) scale rating, then generally the stronger the tornado the lower the pressure.
What is the violent tornado?
A violent tornado is one that achieves a rating of EF4 or EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. In such a tornado, well-constrcuted houses are levelled or swept away.
What are the wind speeds of a F5 hurricane?
F5 is not a category used to rate hurricanes. The Fujita or "F" scale is only used for rating tornadoes.Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale in which a category 5 hurricane has sustained winds of at least 156 mph.Fujita scale winds are only estimates, but the original estimates wind speed for an F5 tornado were 261 to 318 mph. However, this estimate is no believed to have been far too high and has been change on the Enhanced Fujita or "EF" scale to anything over 200 mph for an EF5 tornado.
Explain the fujita scale and how it is applied to twisters?
The Fujita scale is a system of assessing the intensity of tornadoes. Damage is analyzed and the tornado is assigned a rating ranging from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.
What does fujita mean?
Fujita refers to Dr. Tetsuya "Ted" Fujita, the creator of the Fujita scale, which assesses tornado intensity.
What was the fujita scale measurement for Illinois?
The Fujita scale rates the intensity of tornadoes. It does not rate states. Tornadoes of all intensity levels on the Fujita scale, from F0 to F5, have ocurred in Illinois.
Who is the author of the tornado intensity and damage?
If you are referring to the Fujita scale, which rates tornado intensity base on damage, its inventor is Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.
What does the F stand for in F0 for the Fujita-Pearson Tornado Intensity?
The F stands for Fujita.
Would you use a Richter scale to measure a tornado?
No. The Richter scale (since replaced by the Moment Magnitude scale) was used to measure earthquake intensity. The Fujita scale (now the Enhanced Fujita scale in the U.S.) is used to rate tornadoes.
The fujita intensity scale is applied to?
tornadoes
A commonly used guide for tornado intensity is called?
Fujita intensity scale
Do Scientists use the Fujita to measure hurricane intensity?
No. The Fujita scale is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Which scale describes the intensity of tornado?
fujita scale now called enhanced fujita scale
Does the fujita scale measure hurricanes intensity?
No. Hurricanes are classified on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes.
What scale do you use to describe the intensity of a tornado?
the fujita scale now called enhanced fujita scale
