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.

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.

Air always moves from what direction?

Air typically moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This movement occurs to balance out pressure differences in the atmosphere.


How high does the atmosphere go above the Earth's surface?

The atmosphere extends about 600 kilometers (373 miles) above the Earth's surface.


How high up is the atmosphere in relation to Earth's surface?

The atmosphere extends about 62 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth's surface.


How high up is space from the ground?

The end of the atmosphere is about 63 miles above the surface of earth


How does air move in high pressure?

Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in an attempt to equalize the pressure differences. In the atmosphere, air from high-pressure systems sinks and moves outward, creating clockwise circulation. This movement of air from high to low pressure is what drives our weather patterns.


How tall is the atmosphere column?

The atmosphere column extends about 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) above the Earth's surface. The atmosphere is divided into different layers based on temperature variations, with the troposphere being the layer closest to the Earth's surface and extending up to about 7 miles (11 kilometers) high.


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 does air pressure change from high to low and from low to high?

Air pressure decreases from high to low as one moves upwards in the atmosphere due to a decrease in air density. Conversely, air pressure increases from low to high as one moves closer to the Earth's surface where more air molecules are compressed together, creating higher pressure.
