Meteorologists study tornadoes and other weather events. Many of those who study tornadoes are storm chasers.

∙ 12y agoSince tornadoes are a form of weather, they are studied by weather scientists. A weather scientist is a meteorologist.
The Fujita scale does not help in predicting tornadoes, but it is a useful tool in statistical studies of tornadoes, where singling out stronger or weaker tornadoes is useful.
it is unknown. global warming may increase or decrease tornadoes, more studies need to be done to determine this.
Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.
There are a lot of people who study tornadoes such as storm spotters and storm chasers as well as tons of meteorologists. The National Weather Service are the main people who study tornadoes along with the different centers located within the National Weather Service such as the Severe Storms Laboratory, and the Storm Prediction Center. They do it to gain a better understanding of tornadoes and their inner workings to try and create better technology which could help save more lives.
Since tornadoes are a form of weather, the scientists who study tornadoes are weather scientists of meteorologists.
Tornadoes are studied by meteorologist, some of whom are storm chasers.
Since tornadoes and hurricanes are weather phenomena they are studied by meteorologists, or weather scientists.

Scientists don't think tornadoes affect global warming. There are some studies to suggest the other way round, that global warming and climate change may lead to weather events like tornadoes, more often and more violent.
no. It is the study of the tectonic plates and the earthquakes that form. It studies the seismic activities of these plates. Thus seismology.
There is no specific word for a scientist who studies tornadoes. Such scientists would fall under the general label of meteorologists; weather scientists.
It depends on the type of hazard. Volcanoes are studied by volcanologists, who are a variety of geologist, while tornadoes are studied by meteorologists (weather scientists). Most natural hazards are of a meterological or geological nature, and so will be studied by meteorolgists or geologists.
Tornadoes in the U.S. are called tornadoes.
Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.
