In China, tornadoes are commonly referred to as "龙卷风" (lóng juǎn fēng), which translates to "dragon卷风" or "whirlwind." This term reflects the visual appearance of tornadoes as they twist and spiral through the air. Tornadoes are relatively rare in China compared to countries like the United States, but they can occur, particularly in regions such as the northeastern part of the country.
Informally some people do call them cyclones, by this is technically incorrect. While they share some traits, tornadoes and cyclones are different types of weather pattern.
No. Tornadoes do not damage the atmosphere.
Nearly all tornadoes in the southern hemisphere do. However in the northern hemisphere most tornadoes rotate counterclockwise. A small percentage of tornadoes rotate opposite of what is normal for their hemisphere. These are called anticyclonic tornadoes.
Tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise with the exception of rare anticyclonic tornadoes.
You can't get rid of tornadoes. They dissipate naturally.
Tornadoes in the U.S. are called tornadoes.
Tornadoes are relatively rare in China, with an average of about 20 tornadoes reported each year. The tornadoes in China typically occur in the spring and summer months in regions such as the eastern and central parts of the country.
Tornadoes are severe wind storms and do not speak, let alone call out a name.
Yes, China does experience tornadoes, particularly in the eastern and southern regions of the country during the spring and summer months. These tornadoes are typically weaker and less frequent compared to those in the United States.
Tornadoes are often called twisters.
China is vulnerable to typhoons, which are similar to hurricanes. The country's southeastern coast is particularly prone to typhoon activity during the summer months, leading to strong winds and heavy rainfall. Tornadoes are less common in China compared to the United States, but they do occur occasionally in regions like the southeast.
They are called storm chasers.
Tornado Alley.

A person from China is Chinese.
The area that gets the most tornadoes in the U.S. (or in the world for that matter) is called Tornado Alley.
Because when tornadoes hit the ground they spin in a cyclone-like vortex of wind, dust and debris.
