Absolutely not! More tornadoes happen each year around the world, and its destructive power is more terrific than any one can imagine.
The largest impact of tornadoes is the economic damage caused by widespread destruction along their paths. More directly, there are many people killed by these storms, and to a lesser extent pets and farm animals. The major damage is the complete destruction of homes, buildings, and farms, the wrecking of cars and trucks, and the loss of power distribution systems. Winds as high as 300 mph (480 kph) blow down walls, tear up trees, and throw debris in every direction at high speeds. Each year dozenss of people are killed, and hundredss injured, by major tornadoes in the US.
1,200 a year in the U.S. on average. Worldwide figures are not known.
The Fujita scale classifies tornadoes based on damage.
No, tornadoes never cause a blizzard. I will note that some storm systems that produce blizzard conditions on their northwest side, can also produce tornadoes on their southeast side. Perfect example was March 13, 1993 when a storm storm system moved out of the Gulf of Mexico (While Alabama and Georgia were getting blizzard conditions, Florida was getting tornadoes)
The U.S. averages between 1,200 and 1,300 tornadoes per year.
Tornadoes cause billions of dollars in damage each year. The average annual damage costs from tornadoes in the United States can range from hundreds of millions to over a billion dollars. These costs include property damage, crop loss, and infrastructure destruction.
Volcanoes can cause various natural disasters, including eruptions, pyroclastic flows, ash fall, lava flows, lahars (mudflows), and gas emissions. These events can lead to loss of life, property destruction, and environmental impacts.
On average tornadoes cause 60 deaths and 1,500 injuries each year.
On average, tornadoes cause around 70-80 fatalities and 1,500 injuries each year in the United States. However, the number can vary widely depending on the intensity and frequency of tornadoes in a given year.
On average tornadoes cause about $400 million each year in the U.S.
Manitoba experiences an average of 20 to 30 tornadoes each year, although this number can vary. The province is particularly vulnerable to tornadoes during the summer months, especially in June and July. Most tornadoes in Manitoba are relatively weak, but they can still cause damage and pose risks to safety. The most significant tornado event in the province's history occurred in 2007, resulting in a stronger tornado that caused considerable destruction.
The plates of the earth scrape against each other, and that can cause earthquakes too!
hurricanes cause more damage they can also cause earthquakes and tsunamis
There are no volcanoes in or near Livingston, Montana and there have been no major earthquakes in the Livingston area since record began. Tornadoes are fairly rare in Montana, which gets only about 7 each year. Most are weak.
they are not as violent because the plates are sliding away from each other and it is a much smoother process
On average tornadoes cause 60 deaths and and about $500 million dollars in damage each year.
No, earthquakes and tornadoes are two separate natural phenomena caused by different processes. Earthquakes occur due to tectonic plate movements, while tornadoes are caused by strong thunderstorms and rotating air. The two events are not directly related to each other.
