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.
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.
Tornadoes can pick up dust and debris from the ground as they travel, creating a dusty appearance. The strong winds within a tornado can lift dirt particles into the air, making them visible as swirling dust clouds.
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.
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.
Yes, tornadoes are capable of picking up large and heavy objects, including people, and causing serious injury or death. It is important to take shelter in a safe location during a tornado warning to avoid being picked up by the strong winds.
Tornadoes are just rapidly moving columns of air. The reason that they are black is because that is the color of the dirt that they pick up.

They can pick up endangered animals or plants, and I suppose if a rare jewel was lying around, they could pick it up.
No. They can only pick up grass, dirt, sand, gravel, etc.
No. Most tornadoes are not strong enough to lift very heavy objects. Very violent tornadoes can pick up structures such as houses and churches but even tornadoes like that only produce such winds along a relatively small portion of the damage path.
you pick it up and continue riding it.
No
Yes. There are two main reasons. First, how a tornado appears depend on how the light hits the tornado. Second, tornadoes often pick up large quantities of dirt, and so take on the color of the soil they are going over. Because of this, tornadoes can appear white, gray, black, brown, and even red.
Pick up one of your people and put them on the dirt spot
Yes. Even very weak tornadoes will lift dust and twigs. Stronger tornadoes can lift roofs, garages, barns, and some vehicles. The most violent tornadoes will lift large trucks, train cars, and even well built houses.
Yes. People have been picked up by tornadoes. Violent tornadoes can pick up objects far larger and heavier than people.
