The average tornado is 50 yards wide, but sizes vary widely. Some are less than 10 yards wide while on rare occasions a tornado may be over a mile wide.
The widest tornado on record cut a damage path 2.6 miles wide.
It varies widely. Tornadoes can be as narrow as 15 feet or as wide as 2.5 miles. The averages tornado is 50 to 100 yards wide.
Yes, every tornado has a vortex, which is the rapidly rotating column of air that extends from the base of the storm clouds to the ground. This vortex is what causes the destructive winds associated with tornadoes.

A vortex generator is an aerodynamic surface, consisting of a small vane that creates a vortex. Some surfaces on an airplane can result in air flow separating from the surface or skin. A vortex generator creates a tip vortex which draws energetic, rapidly-moving air from outside the slow-moving boundary layer into contact with the aircraft skin. This keeps the flow close to the aircraft surfaces. Vortex generators delay flow separation and aerodynamic stalling; they improve the effectiveness of control surfaces. You may see vortex generators as a row of small vanes that are mounted in a row along a tail surface.
I think the word you're looking for is "vortex".
There is no particular term for the bottom of a tornado. The base of a tornado may be shrouded in a debris cloud.
A tornado is a kind of vortex so yes, in some ways.
A tornado is itself a kind of vortex, and can have smaller vortices inside of it.
Yes, every tornado has a vortex, which is the rapidly rotating column of air that extends from the base of the storm clouds to the ground. This vortex is what causes the destructive winds associated with tornadoes.
A vortex is a spinning or rotating movement in a liquid or gas. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air and thus is a type of vortex.
A vortex is a spinning flow of air or liquid. In a tornado, a vortex forms when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating a rotating column of air that extends from the base of the storm cloud to the ground. This rotating vortex is what gives a tornado its destructive power.
A multiple vortex tornado has smaller, short-lived vortices moving around inside of it. The suction vortices have stronger winds than the rest of the tornado and are noted for cutting narrow curved swaths of intense damage. A multiple vortex tornado sometimes has the appearance of two or more tornadoes moving circles. A single vortex tornado is simply one vortex of tornadic wind.
No country does. A suction vortex is not a tornado; it is a feature that can develop in a tornado. A tornado itself is a vortex but can sometimes contain smaller vortices (vortexes) called suction vortices. Such a storm is called a multiple-vortex tornado.
A tornado is basically just a vortex of wind
There is no such thing as an actual tornado underwater, as a tornado is, by definition, a vortex of air. However, a vortex underwater is called a whirlpool.
A good hypothesis for a science fair project using a tornado vortex (tornado in a bottle) could be: "If the speed of rotation is increased in a tornado vortex model, then the strength and duration of the vortex will also increase." This hypothesis can be tested by varying the speed at which the bottle is rotated and observing the resulting vortex's characteristics, such as its height, stability, and longevity.

The whirling, spinning vortex of a tornado sucked everybody in.
