Tornadoes are unpredictable because , compared with other weather events the are small, short-lived, and form quickly, which can make them difficult to tract.
Furthermore, scientists are still not sure how tornadoes form.
Yes. The region is so prone to tornadoes that it is sometimes called Tornado Alley.
Yes. In some cases the absence of tornado records is due to a lack of documentation rather than a lack of tornadoes. In other cases an area may experience tornadoes so infrequently that none have occurred since before people were around to document them. If a place has little record of tornadoes, that still means tornadoes have been recorded in that area.
That is not known. Official statistics say there are about 2,000 tornadoes in the world per year, but the actual number of tornadoes is probably much higher. Many countries do not keep record of their tornadoes and so only ones that cause major damage become known. Many tornadoes that occur in unpopulated areas go unnoticed.
No. Hurricanes and tornadoes operate on completely different scales, so they can't exactly collide. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to form in the outer rain bands of a hurricane.
No, tornadoes cannot occur on the moon because it lacks the necessary atmosphere and weather conditions for tornado formation. Tornadoes require warm, moist air rising rapidly and interacting with cool, dry air, which is not present on the moon.
I'd be suspicious of the thermostat.
Tornadoes are not landforms, and so cannot be affected by weathering.
Antarctica is the continent that does not have tornadoes. Tornadoes typically form over land, so the cold and uninhabited nature of Antarctica makes it unlikely for tornadoes to occur there.
Tornadoes do occur in the UK, so it is entirely possible for them to occr in Basingstoke.
Tornadoes are not alive so you can't really say whether they survive or not.
No. Tornadoes are neither alive nor do they have minds, so they cannot dream.
Tornadoes don't have names, hurricane do, though they are often referred to by the places they hit. Even then there are so many tornadoes that it would be impossible to list them. There have been tens of thousands of tornadoes.
All tornadoes form in thunderstorms and so are typically accompanied by thunder and lightning.
well tornadoes can happen anywhere any time so yes
Yes. The U.S. has recorded over 1100 tornadoes so far in 2011. More tornadoes have occurred in other parts of the world.
Cumulus clouds don't so much appear in tornadoes. It is more accurate to say that tornadoes descend from cumulonimbus clouds.
Scientists follow tornadoes to track where they are going and warn people in their paths. They also study tornadoes to learn more about them so they can be better predicted.
