The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage caused by a tornado to determine its strength. The more severe the damage is the stronger the tornado.
The wind damage scale used to assess the severity of damage caused by strong winds is called the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale).
The scale that measures the severity of tornadoes is called the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale). It ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest), and it categorizes tornadoes based on the damage they cause and the estimated wind speeds.
This is a simple matter of energy. As the Earth warms, it gains energy....which is all heat really is. As the Earth gains energy, the mechanisms behind storms (which can be extremely complicated) work to release this energy in an attempt to create a balance. More energy in the system will equal more energy released in storms. We can expect more powerful storms with increasing frequency if the Earth continues to warm.
Tornadoes are rated on the Enhance Fujita scale from EF0 to EF5 based on the severity of the damage they cause.
It doesn't. The Fujita scale classifies tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they cause.
CORRECTED: Hurricanes are storms that happen in the Atlantic (East Coast). Typhoons are storms (hurricanes) that happen in the Pacific (West Coast). Why they are called something different I do not know. Yet, both storms are created in the same manner as all storms, only being over water, they become more tumultuous.Tsunamis are waves, and are not associated with storms, but earthquakes. When there is a shift in the ocean floor, of course it causes waves. The severity of the shift is a direct affect on the severity of the wave.Poseidon makes them.
The Fujita Scale is a scale that rates the intensity of tornadoes from F0 (weakest) to F5 (strongest) based on the severity of damage done.
A Richter scale judges the severity of an earthquake so the higher a quake is on the Richter scale, the worse it is and the worse the damage will be
Wind can affect the severity of the storm because it intensifies it. The stronger the wind is the stronger the storm will be. Wind storms can even happen without there being any rain.
The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to determine its rating.
The scale used to identify the severity of a tornado is called the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale. It ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on the tornado's estimated wind speeds and resultant damage.
