How long would it take for a tornado to move 1 mile?
It depends on how fast the tornado is moving, which varies. An average tornado moves at about 30 mph, so it would take 2 minutes to travel a mile. The fastest a tornado has ever been known to travel was 73 mph, in which case it would travel a mile in about 50 seconds. At the other end, some tornadoes barely move at all.
How many miles does a tornado usually go?
A tornado typically travels 1 to 2 miles in its time on the ground. However some may travel just a fraction of a mile while a rare few travel more than 100 miles.
How long does it take for a tornado to go through a town?
That depends on the size of the town and how fast the tornado is traveling. The average tornado travels at about 30 mph, so it takes two minutes to travel a mile. However, some tornadoes barely move along while some travel at over 60 mph (a mile every minute).
How many miles does a tornado travel?
The distance a tornado travels varies considerably. A typical tornado travels only a mile or two. Some tornadoes will only bee on the ground for a few hundred feet. The worst tornadoes usually travel ten miles or more, with some paths being well over 100 miles long. The longest tornado track on record was 219 miles.
Explain the difference between how fast a tornado is moving and how fast its rotational winds are?
How fast a tornado is moving refers to how fast the tornado itself travels from point A to point B. For example, a tornado moving towards at 30 mph and is a mile away will reach you in 2 minutes. The rotational winds of a tornado refers to how fast the tornado itself is spinning, which is generally faster than its forward speed.
How much time does it take for a tornado to pass in one mile?
It varies as different tornadoes move at different speeds. The average tornado, however, moves at about 30 mph. At this speed a tornado would travel a mile in two minutes. Some slow moving tornadoes may move at 10 mph or less. At 10 mph a tornado would travel a mile in six minutes. Some of the fastest-moving tornadoes have traveled at 70 mph. At this speed a tornado would move a mile in just over 50 seconds.
How fast does an average plane travel per mile?
500,000
How fast are you going if you travel a mile per second?
3600 mph.
How fast does a Ro-Ro travel?
1 mile per hour
How fast do you have to travel to do one mile in one minute?
60 mph
How much area does a tornado take?
It depends on the tornado. Tornadoes vary greatly in both size and in how far they travel. A typical tornado is 50 to 100 yards wide and travels a mile or two, so the area affected is quite small. The very largest tornadoes can be well over a mile wide and the longest-lasting can travel a couple hundred miles.
How many miles long are tornadoes?
It depends on what you mean by how long a tornado is. Path length is the distance a tornado travels rather than any dimension of the tornado itself. A typical tornado has a path length of between half a mile and five miles long. Very brief tornadoes may only travel a few yards, while major tornadoes may be on the ground for more than 50 or even 100 miles. Path width is the actual diameter of the tornado at the ground. Most tornadoes are between 50 and 200 yards wide, but very large tornadoes can be over a mile or, in extremely rare cases, over two miles wide. The actual vortex of a tornado extends above cloud base anywhere from a mile to ten miles into the sky.
