If you mean the tornado itself than wind. However debris inside the tornado is just as destructive because the debris hits buildings cars or people. In fact the wind in a tornado kills less people than debris.

Is a tornado a force?

A tornado is often described as a "force of nature" but in physics it is not a distinct force. Several forces are in operation in and around a tornado.


What kind of force that the tornado have like centripetal force centrifugal force?

Hi, Well the force is centripetal force during a body is initially attacked by the tornado,when the body started swinging in the tornado from the surface of the earth,the time when body covers some distance from downward to upward is the time when centrifugal force is applied.... That means tornado have both the centripetal force and centrifugal force..... Thanks you!

What kind of force does a tornado have which keeps it to have that funnel shaped wind?

The wind in a tornado moves in a circular fashion as it is pulled inward by the pressure gradient force resulting from the low pressure at the center of the tornado.


Is there any force in a tornado?

Yes. The winds of a tornado carry an enormous amount of force. That is why they are so destructive. The winds themselves are driven by a pressure gradient.


Where did the McConnel Air Force Base tornado form?

If you mean the tornado that struck McConnel Air Force bas on April 26, 1991, that tornado first form south of the town of Clearwater, Kansas and moved northeast to the Air Force base. After striking the base the tornado continued traveling northeast, intensifying as it did so, eventually moving through Andover at peak intensity as an F5 tornado.

Sentence containing word 'destructive'?

A tornado is a destructive force of nature.


What forces affect the motions of tornadoes?

The primary force at work in a tornado is a pressure gradient force. Pressure inside a tornado is lower than it is outside, which causes the path of any air near it to curve toward the center of the tornado. Slight variations in that pressure can affect how a tornado behaves, which is part of what makes tornadoes so hard to predict.


Who would win in a fight a tornado or a hurricane?

There is no conflict between a hurricane and a tornado. In fact, hurricanes often produce tornadoes. However, if you were to somehow pitch the force of a hurricane against the force of a tornado, the hurricane would "win" without being significantly affected. Although a tornado can have faster winds than a hurricane, hurricanes are much larger and have several orders of magnitude more energy than a tornado.
