The damage is primarily wind damage, though damage can also occur from debris impacts.
Weak tornadoes (EF0 and EF1) cause minor to moderate damage. Tree branches are broken with some trees uprooted or snapped. Houses may lose roof tiles or even part of the roof structure. Weakly built structures such as barns may collapse.
Strong tornadoes (EF2 and EF3) cause considerable to severe damage. Most trees are uprooted or snapped. Well built houses will loose their roofs and even same walls. Cars can be lifted up and thrown.
Violent tornadoes (EF4 and EF5) causes devastating to incredible damage. The few trees that remain standing will be stripped of their bark and have only stubs of their larges boughs. Well constructed houses will be leveled to the ground or even wiped clean off their foundations.
What else can I help you with?
How do you categorize the tornado as weather related geologic in nature or caused by humans?
A tornado is categorized as a weather-related event because it is a natural atmospheric phenomenon caused by the interaction of air masses with different temperatures and humidity levels. Tornadoes are not caused by human activities but are a result of the Earth's weather patterns and atmospheric conditions.
What effects the tornado on the earths surface?
Once a tornado touches down, very little has a major impact on it. An established tornado can pass over buildings, trees, hills, and even mountains without weakening. The tornado is more affected by the air masses within a thunderstorm. In terms of effects the tornado has, vegetation and man made structures in the tornado's path are usually damaged or destroyed. In the most violent tornadoes of the top 0.5% or so roads and topsoil may be stripped away.
What touches every part of the earth?
Sunlight touches every part of the earth as the sun's rays reach all corners of the globe.
What is a destructive force that affects earth?
A destructive force that affects Earth is any natural disaster: tsunami, hurricane, tornado, etc. Also another destructive force is precipitation: rain, sleet, hail, etc.
How does an earthquake relate to a tornado?
Earthquakes and tornadoes are both natural disasters but are caused by different factors. Earthquakes are primarily due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, while tornadoes are caused by rotating air masses within severe thunderstorms. The two phenomena have distinct characteristics, impacts, and occur in different geographical regions.
What is the effect on the earth when there is a Tornado?
The effects when a tornado touches the ground, include damage or destruction of vegetation an man-made structures and humans and animals killed or injured.
Do all tornadoes touch the Earth's surface?
It depends what you call a tornado. Most tornado-like clouds do not touch the earth's surface. Some say that until it touches the ground it is not a tornado but a funnel cloud; however the definition of a tornado does not state that it must touch the ground. It all depends on what you're taught.
When a tornado touches down does it dig up the earth?
Tornadoes can sometimes scour the ground, but this is rare, ocurring only in the most violent tornadoes.
What are the problems caused by festivals in the world?
earth damage
What is a funnel shape cloud that touches earth's surface is called a?
A tornado (often referred to as a twister or, erroneously, a cyclone) is a violent, dangerous, rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris and dust.
Where did the first tornado hit?
The first recorded tornado hit kilbeggan, Ireland on April 30th 1054. However, there were no doubt many thousands of tornadoes that occurred before then that were never recorded. Tornadoes have most likely been occurring since Earth had an atmosphere.
Does the funnel of a tornado touch the ground?
Not always. The funnel is only the portion of the tornado that is visible. The winds of a tornado at ground level may still be capable of causing significant damage even if the visible funnel does not reach ground level. When this occurs it is usually evidenced by swirling dust or debris beneath the funnel. That is usually enough to report a tornado. Oftentimes, though, the funnel does touch the ground in which case there is definitely a tornado. Also of note is that sometimes you have a funnel that does not produce damaging winds on the ground. These are not counted in tornado statistics.
What damage is caused when 2 earth plates slide against each other?
Earthquakes.
How do you categorize the tornado as weather related geologic in nature or caused by humans?
A tornado is categorized as a weather-related event because it is a natural atmospheric phenomenon caused by the interaction of air masses with different temperatures and humidity levels. Tornadoes are not caused by human activities but are a result of the Earth's weather patterns and atmospheric conditions.
Which of these names is attached to the scale of damage which potentially could be caused by an asteroid or comet impacting the Earth?
The scale of damage potentially caused by an asteroid or comet impacting Earth is known as the Torino Scale. It is used to communicate the potential threat level of near-Earth objects (NEOs) impacting our planet.
What effects the tornado on the earths surface?

In the most violent tornadoes of the top 0.5% or so roads and topsoil may be stripped away.
What would happen if an impact caused earth to stop rotating?
If an impact caused the earth to stop rotating it would have already caused damage. For example: If a meteor hit the earth it would crack the earth into pieces, therefore we would be frozen in the darkness for half a year and toasted from the sun the other half.
