The rotation of a tornado originates from a larger but less intense circulation called a mesocyclone, which creates an area of low pressure. A tornado forms when the mesocyclone tightens and stretches toward the ground. This causes the winds and the low pressure to intensify.

The Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes based on their wind speed and the?
The Fujita scale classifies tornadoes based on damage.
Can Tornadoes generate a wind speed of 300 miles per hour?
Yes, though tornadoes that strong are extremely rare.
Which of these conditions is used to classify a tornado?
Tornadoes are rated based on the severity of the damage they cause. Wind speed for A+
How much wind does it take for a tornado?
There is no solidly set minimum wind speed for a tornado. The Enhanced Fujita scale starts an EF0 at 65 mph, but tornadoes have occurred with estimated winds lower than that. Tornadoes are defined by the amnner in which the air moves rather than the wind speed. A tornado is a rotating vortex of strong wind that onnects to both the ground and the cloud base.
What is the highest wind speed recorded not including tornadoes?
The fastest wind on earth occur in tornadoes, which have been known to have wind speeds in excess of 300 mph (480 km/h), far faster than anything a hurricane can produce.
Why do tornadoes have such high wind effects?
Pressure differences are the main driving forces for wind. The greater the pressure difference over a given area, the greater the wind speed. Tornadoes produce very low pressure in a very small area.
What wind has the greatest speed hurricanes tornadoes land breezes or cyclones?
Tornadoes, by a considerable amount.
Why are sand dunes important in tornadoes?
sand dunes important in tornadoes as when the tornadoes come the high pressure wind take it to the direction where the wind is blowing
Which wind has the greatest speed?
The fastest winds on Earth are found in tornadoes.
The Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes based on their wind speed and the?
The Fujita scale classifies tornadoes based on damage.
Are their tornadoes on Venus?
As far as we cal tell, there are no tornadoes on Venus. There are certainly high wind speeds, at higher altitudes, but no tornadoes.
Is there a way of categorizing tornadoes?
yes, there is 5 levels based on the speed of the wind
Can Tornadoes generate a wind speed of 300 miles per hour?
Yes, though tornadoes that strong are extremely rare.
How does tornado damage occur?
Tornadoes cause damage though powerful wind tearing at and pushing against objects and through impacts of high speed debris.
How high can the wind speed go?
The fastest winds on Earth occur in exceptionally violent tornadoes. There winds may, on rare occasions, exceed 300 miles per hour.
Do tornadoes destory things?
yes destructively by their high rotating wind speeds
Who or what affected a tornado?
No person or group of peal affects tornadoes. Tornadoes are affected by factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction at different altitudes.
