Why do tornadoes occur more often in England than in the US?
They don't. The US has 40 times the number of tornadoes that England has, and they tend to be much more intense- less than 10% of English tornadoes are strong, 42% of US tornadoes are strong storms.
How can the work of scientists who want to get close to tornadoes help people who want to take shelter from tornadoes?
The idea is that studying tornadoes, which sometimes means getting close to them, allows us to better understand them. A better understanding of tornadoes may help us predict them, which would mean better warnings for people who might be in the path of a tornado.
Do 75 percent of tornadoes form in the US of America?
75 percent of recorded tornadoes happen in the U.S. The U.S. probably has a much smaller percentage of the world's actual tornado count. This is because the U.S. keeps detailed records on the tornadoes that occur within its borders. Many other countries do not keep such records, and often only the most significant tornadoes are reported.
Can there be tornadoes in NY?
Yes, tornadoes can occur in New York. While they are not as common as in some other parts of the United States, tornadoes have been known to touch down in New York, particularly during severe weather events. It is important for residents to be aware of the potential for tornadoes and have a plan in place in case one does occur.
Why do few tornadoes happen in the western US?
Tornadoes are less common in the western US due to the region's topography and weather patterns. The presence of mountains and cooler Pacific Ocean temperatures reduce the necessary conditions for tornado formation, such as warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico interacting with cold, dry air. Additionally, the jet stream typically steers storm systems and associated tornadoes more frequently to the central and eastern US.
