In that event a tornado waring would be issued for your area. Weather experts would tell you to get underground or to some other safe location.

If you were to read the warning, it would say about where the tornado is, when it was spotted, the direction it's moving and how fast. Sometimes the warning may list places in the potential path.

See the link below for an example of a tornado warning with a tornado that has been spotted. The tornado did go on to hit Roseboro, a town mentioned to be in the path.

A tornado would be examined in what discipline?

Since a tornado is a form of weather, it would be studied in the field of meteorology.


What does the National Weather Service say about a tornado before it happens?

I'm not exactly too sure what they would say but if you turned on your TV at the time I'm sure they would say something like this: "A tornado has been spotted in Oklahoma. Take shelter immediately." They would definitely warn of the on-coming storm. Even the NWS doesn't know there IS going to be a tornado until it has formed. Whenever weather conditions that may produce tornadoes exist, they issue a "Tornado Watch" for the area. They monitor their equipment (especially the dopler radar) to determine where one MAY be forming and which direction it will travel if it forms. Once a funnel cloud has formed, they issue a "Tornado Warning" and predict it's path.


Which of the following would be most useful for determining the presence of a tornado?

A weather radar would be most useful for determining the presence of a tornado. Radar can detect the rotation and intensity of a storm, providing valuable information to meteorologists about potential tornado formation. Additionally, monitoring weather alerts and updates from trusted sources can help in being aware of tornado warnings in your area.


Which of the following media would you not use to inform the public of an approaching tornado?

I would not inform the public about an approaching tornado with the internet and phone messages. I would not because usually if there is a tornado coming you lose power in the phone and internet lines as a tornado can go into the power critic. hope that helps.


Which type of scientist would likely predict a tornado?

The National Hurricane Center predicts, or at least tries to predict, hurricanes in the vicinity of the U.S.

Why is knowledge of weather conditions useful?

If we did not know the weather conditions than we could get into big disasters. For example, if we knew that there might be a thunderstorm coming there way or there was a tornado warning, we would be prepared for what might happen.


How Can you prevent a Tornado Watch?

In order to prevent a tornado watch you would need to be able to control the weather, which is impossible.


Why Television is Better than Books?

Because books don't tell you the weather that is coming your way. If you have a tornado watch going on in where you live, how would you know? Would reading a regular paper book tell you a tornado's coming for you?


Can you stop a tornado with another tornado?

No, it is not possible to stop a tornado with another tornado. Tornadoes are formed by specific weather conditions in the atmosphere, and introducing another tornado would not have any effect on the existing tornado.

In intro to earth the formation of a tornado would be examined in this discipline?

Since a tornado is a severe weather event, the formation of one would be studied in meteorology.


What is the opposite of a tornado?

There is not opposite of a tornado, except perhaps a clear day with no wind.


What layer of the atmosphere would a tornado occur in?

A tornado would occur in the troposphere, the layer closest to the Earth.

How do you know when there will be a tornado?

First you should pay attention to local watches and warnings. A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for the formation of tornadoes. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been detected or a thunderstorm may soon produce one.Conditions to watch for in a potentially tornado storm.Rotation in the clouds, especially with a lowering of the cloud base means that a tornado may soon form. If you see a rotating, elongate or cone-shaped cloud head for cover immediately as it can rapidly develop into a tornado. If this cloud reaches ground level or produces a swirl of dust or debris it means a tornado is one the ground.
