Tornadoes pick up dirt and what else?
It varies depending on where the tornado goes and how strong it is. In addition to dirt even weak tornadoes can pick up pieces of vegetation and any light, loose objects that happen to be in their path. Stronger tornadoes can pick up light vehicles, roofs, and outbuildings. The very strongest tornadoes can lift virtually anything, including whole trees, well-constructed houses, train cars, and even pieces of asphalt.
Do tornadoes cause deposition?
No, tornadoes do not cause deposition. Tornadoes are mainly associated with erosion, as they can pick up and carry loose particles and debris within their strong winds. Deposition usually occurs when the wind slows down and drops these materials.
Tornadoes can pick up objects and hurl them out in a few minutes true or false?
True. Tornadoes can pick up debris and objects, then hurl them out in just a few minutes due to their strong rotational winds. These flying objects can cause significant damage and pose a serious threat to life and property.
What is the other materials that pick up dirt by a tornado?
In addition to dirt, tornadoes can pick up and carry a wide variety of materials such as debris, rocks, vegetation, and even small structures like tree branches, signs, and pieces of buildings. These materials can become dangerous projectiles as the tornado moves across the landscape.
