What are important facts about tornadoes?

Answer 1

Some of the features are:

• Violent, rotating winds
• low barometric pressure
• A condensation funnel
• A dust/debris cloud
• In some cases subvorticies within the tornado

Answer 2

Probably the most important facts about tornadoes involve tornado safety:

• The safest place to be when a tornado hits is underground.
• Unlike with hurricanes, tornado warnings do not give enough lead time to evacuate.
• Cars and trailers are among the worst places to be in a tornado
• Overpasses do not provide protection from tornadoes
• Opening windows does nothing to protect your house; it only wastes precious time.
• Do not wait until you see or hear a tornado. Tornadoes may be obscured by rain or the darkness of night, and are often not audible until they are dangerously close.

Answer 3

1. Tornadoes are violent, rotating windstorms that form from thunderstorm
2. Tornadoes can be very destructive, with the most violent capable of leveling large portions of towns and cities.
3. The Enhanced Fujita Scale, which rates tornadoes based on damage, ranges from EF0 with minor damage, to EF5 with homes wiped clean off their foundations.
4. Most tornadoes form from a type of thunderstorm called a supercell.
5. The mechanism behind tornado formation is still not fully understood and is the subject of ongoing research.
6. Tornadoes are small compared with other storms, rarely exceeding 1 mile wind diameter.
7. The United States averages about 1,200 tornadoes every year.
8. The winds in a violent tornado are the fastest on earth, sometimes exceeding 300 mph.
9. Tornadoes often occur in incidents called outbreaks, in which multiple tornadoes are produced by the same storm system.
10. Some tornadoes have smaller suction vorticies inside them, which are somewhat like smaller tornadoes inside a big one.

Answer 4

1. Tornadoes are the deadliest form of severe weather in he U.S.
2. Tornadoes can produce the fastest winds on earth, sometimes to over 300 mph (480 km/h)
3. Tornadoes are small compared with other storms, rarely over a mile wide.
4. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (EF0 to EF5) based on damage.
5. Tornadoes, especially the strong ones, often occur in outbreaks in which six or more tornadoes form within a few hours.

Answer 6

Tornadoes are rapidly rotating columns of air that extend from a thunderstorm to the ground. They are capable of producing extremely high wind speeds, reaching over 300 mph. Tornadoes are typically accompanied by severe weather conditions such as thunderstorms, lightning, and heavy rain. It is important to have a plan in place to seek shelter during a tornado warning to stay safe.

Answer 7

Because they can be very dangerous and destructive.

Answer 8

one fact is that your whole town can get disaster and another word for tornado is called a twister
