What is name of a wind that moves beyond 250 miles per hour in high atmosphere?

Although a tornado can have 74 mph winds there are many things that can have 74 mph winds and fast that are not tornadoes.
winds that are at least 74 mph are considered hurricane force though they can occur outside of hurricanes as well.

Wiki User

What layer of the Earth's atmosphere is the Moon in?
The moon is far beyond the earth's atmosphere. The boundary between the atmosphere and outer space is generally considered to be an altitude of 62 miles, although there is a noticeable effect on spacecraft as high as 75 miles. The average distance from the earth to the moon is 233,000 miles.
What are the characteristics of the four main layers of the atmosphere?
1) (4-12 miles high)The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer. 2) (31 miles high)Many jet aircrafts fly in the stratosphere because it is very stable. Also, the ozone layer absorbs harmful rays from the Sun. 3) (53 miles high)Meteors or rock fragments burn up in the mesosphere. 4) (430 miles high)The Thermosphere is a layer with auroras. It is also where the space shuttle orbits. 5) (6,200 miles high)The atmosphere merges into space in the extremely thin exosphere. This is the upper limit of our atmosphere.
What does it mean when the straw moves up barometer air pressure?
If you have taped a straw to a balloon stretched over a jar top as a simple barometer, when the straw moves up, this is a sign of high pressure (atmosphere pressing down on the balloon). High pressure usually means fine weather.
How high does the atmosphere extend from the earth?
The Karman Line, 100 km (62 miles) above the surface of the earth, is usually regarded as the boundary between the earth's atmosphere and outer space.The earth's atmosphere has many layers:Magnetosphere - the highest layerExosphere (500 to 1000 km altitude)Thermosphere (including ionosphere and the Karman Line, 100 km up, which is the boundary between the atmosphere and outer space.MesosphereStratosphere (including ozone layer, 15 to 35 km high)Troposphere (including peplosphereor planetary boundary layer) - the lowest layer, whose depth is 17 km (11 miles) at the equator and 7 km (5 miles) at the poles.
What is wind the result of?
Wind is the result of differences in pressure in the atmosphere and flows between air masses. It moves from high-pressure to low-pressure regions, in an attempt to even out all different barometric pressures.
What layer of the Earth's atmosphere is the Moon in?
The moon is far beyond the earth's atmosphere. The boundary between the atmosphere and outer space is generally considered to be an altitude of 62 miles, although there is a noticeable effect on spacecraft as high as 75 miles. The average distance from the earth to the moon is 233,000 miles.
How high is 27.5 miles?
27.5 miles. It's above about 98% of the Earth's atmosphere.
How high in the earths atmosphere does a space shuttle travel?
230 miles out into space
What is A quick moving ribbon of air that moves west to east high in the atmosphere?
That sounds like a description of the "jetstream"

How high up is space from the ground?
The end of the atmosphere is about 63 miles above the surface of earth
When was High Atmosphere created?
High Atmosphere was created in 1965.

Where does the stratosphere begin?
The stratosphere is one of many layers in the atmosphere on Earth. It begins at 10 kilometers (8 to14.5 miles) and ends at 50 kilometers high (about 30 miles).
What is a high number of miles for a semi truck?
Most require the lower bearings in the engine be replaced at 500,000 miles but other than that assuming routine maintenance many go well beyond a million miles.
What causes the breeze to start?
Uneven heating in the atmosphere causes pressure differences and when air is in high pressure, it moves toward an area of lower pressure, and that is how wind starts.
The largest and outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere the exosphere extends out to what maximum distance from Earth?
The exosphere goes from about 400 miles (640 km) high to about 800 miles (1,280 km).
