What can you use to measure the damage of a tornado?

Scientists use damage to rated tornadoes on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale.


Do tornado trackers have a scale to measure?

Tornadoes do have a scale by which they are rated. It is the Enhanced Fujita scale. However, trackers do not use it to rate the tornado as it occurs. Damage is assessed by experts after the tornado has passed.


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.


What kind of scale do people use to measure a tornado?

The Enhanced Fujita scale (EF0 to EF5) is used to rate tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they cause.


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.


What is the name of the scale used to measure hurricanes and tornadoes?

Hurricanes and tornadoes are rated on different scales. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale from category 1 to category 5. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (formerly the Fujita scale) from EF0 to EF5.


What is a scale and how is it used?

A scale is used to measure things...I see you've tagged "tornadoes" so you may be referring to the Fugita Scale--which is used to measure the damage caused by a tornado.


Are there any systems in place to measure for tornadoes?

Yes. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale based on the severity of the damage they inflict.


Do scientists use the Fujita scale for hurricanes or tornadoes?

The Fujita scale is used for tornadoes, not hurricanes. It measures tornado intensity based on the damage caused. Scientists use the Saffir-Simpson scale for hurricanes, which categorizes them by wind speed.


What scale can you measure a tornados damage?

Tornadoes damage in the United States on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which goes from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest. Prior to that, U.S. tornadoes were rated on the Fujita scale, which similarly ranges from F0 to F5. Some countries, such as Canada, still use the original Fujita scale. Some European countries rate tornado damage on the TORRO scale, which ranges from T0 to T11, where the categories T10 and T11 corresponding to an F5 or EF5 tornado.


True or false scientist use the Fuita scale to measure hurricane intensity?

False. There is no such thing as the Fujitsu scale. The Fujita scale is a system of rating the intensity of tornadoes, not hurricanes. The intensity of hurricanes is measured on the Saffir-Simpson scale.


What is measured using the enchanced fujita scale?

The Enhanced Fujita scale is used to measure the intensity of tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they cause.
