What is the fastest winds in America?

The fastest winds recorded in America occurred during tornadoes and hurricanes. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in the United States was during a tornado in Moore, Oklahoma, with speeds reaching 302 mph (484 km/h) in 1999. In terms of hurricanes, Hurricane Patricia in 2015 had the highest wind speed recorded in the Western Hemisphere at 215 mph (346 km/h).


What type of winds blow hurricanes across the Atlantic ocean?

Hurricanes are primarily driven by easterly winds called trade winds near the equator and westerly winds known as the westerlies in higher latitudes. These winds help steer hurricanes across the Atlantic Ocean.


What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?

Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.


Cyclonic low pressure storms of high winds that develop over water are called?

hurricanes


Which of the following statements about hurricanes and tornadoes is true hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot hurricanes have strong winds?

The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.

Is tornadoes the fastest wind on Earth?

No, tornadoes are not the fastest wind on Earth. The fastest winds on Earth are found in weather phenomena such as jet streams and hurricanes. Tornadoes can have extremely high wind speeds, but they are localized and short-lived compared to other weather events.


The storms that produce the highest winds are?

Tropical cyclones, including hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones, are known to produce the highest winds on Earth. These storms can reach wind speeds exceeding 150 mph (240 km/h) and can cause significant damage due to their strong winds and heavy rainfall.


What type of winds blow hurricanes across the Atlantic ocean?

Hurricanes are primarily driven by easterly winds called trade winds near the equator and westerly winds known as the westerlies in higher latitudes. These winds help steer hurricanes across the Atlantic Ocean.


Which type of winds are important?

Heavy winds like hurricanes, tornadoes, and tropical winds


Why do hurricanes have movement?

Because of their winds.


How fast do hurricanes turn?

Sustained winds in a hurricane are at least 74 mph. Some hurricanes have had winds as high as 190 mph.


Which has higher wind speed hurricanes or tornadoes?

There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.

Do tornadoes have stronger winds than hurricanes?

In most cases the wind speeds fall into the same range. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to produce winds in excess of 150 mph, which are rarely attained by hurricanes. The most violent tornadoes do produce stronger winds than even the most intense hurricanes.
