A tornado, most likely. However, few pressure readings have ever been taken from tornadoes.

Which of the following would likely have the greatest range of pressure a tornado a middle latitude cyclone a hurricane or all have the same pressure?

A hurricane would likely have the greatest range of pressure. Hurricanes typically have very low central pressures, which can drop significantly as they intensify. Middle latitude cyclones and tornadoes can also exhibit pressure variations, but hurricanes are known for the largest pressure differentials across the storm system.


The pressure ina hurricane and in a tornado?

The pressure in a hurricane typically ranges from around 950 to 970 millibars at the center of the storm, known as the eye. In contrast, the pressure in a tornado rapidly drops at its center, but measurements vary widely and are often difficult to obtain due to the rapidly changing nature of tornadoes.


Does a tornado or a hurricane have the steepest pressure gradient?

Definitely a tornado. A hurricane produces a large pressure drop over a distance of hundreds of miles. A tornado produces a similar, possibly larger pressure drop over only a few hundred feet.


What is the tornado air pressure?

The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.


Has a tornado collided with a hurricane?

Tornadoes are smaller in scale compared to hurricanes and are typically embedded within them. So while a tornado can form within or near a hurricane, a direct collision between a tornado and a hurricane as two separate weather events is highly unlikely.

Which has a faster air pressure fall between a hurricane or tornado?

A tornado produces a greater pressure drop over a shorter distance than a hurricane.


What type of storm has the greatest energy hurricane or tornado?

Overall a hurricane has much more energy. Mostly because a hurricane is hundreds of times larger than a tornado.


Can a hurricane create a tornado?

The greatest number of tornadoes recorded so far from a single hurricane is 117.


What is similar about the air pressure in a hurricane and a tornado?

Both produce intense low pressure.

What kind of air pressure is in a tornado and hurricane?

Tornadoes and hurricanes both produce low pressure.


Is a hurricane a water tornado?

No, a hurricane is not a tornado over water. A tornado and a hurricane are quite different. A hurricane is a large-scale self-sustaining storm pressure system, typically hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm rarely over a mile wide. A tornado on water is called a waterspout.


What tornado strength would equal 892 millibars of hurricane strength?

It is unknown as efforts to measure the barometric pressure inside a tornado have met with little success. The millibar is a measure of barometric pressure, with 892 millibars being very low for a pressure that would be found on Earth, indicating a very intense storm. Even then, the scales we currently have for rating tornadoes use damage-based in estimates rather than pressure estimates.
