It can be as strong to knock out an entire town by ripping up homes and leaving a lot of people homeless.
The very strongest of tornadoes have winds in the range of 200-300+ mph and are capable of wiping houses from their foundations, but tornadoes this strong are very rare. Most tornadoes have winds in the range o 65-110 mph but rarely make big news.
What else can I help you with?
What is the effect of a warm air mass and a cooler air mass converging at earth's surface?
tornado
What are 2 words for a rapidly spinning air mass that is dangerous that both start with a T?
These are: Tropical Tornado: or a Cyclone.
When a more dense air mass meets a less dense air mass what weather condition ocurs?
Usually a thunderstorm, but depending on the temperature a tornado can also form.
What type of front forms when a warm air mass is trapped by 2 cold air masses?
Stationary Front
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.
Is the warm air mass forming a tornado a tropical air mass?
Yes. The warm air mass that often plays a role in tornado formation is called a maritime tropical air mass.
Is a tornado an example of an air mass?
No. An air mass is enormous, spanning hundreds if not thousands of miles across. A tornado is a small-scale but violent storm.
What rotating air mass is in a thunderstorm cloud?
A tornado
What is the effect of a warm air mass and a cooler air mass converging at earth's surface?
tornado
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet and a neither can move the other the result is a?
a tornado
What masses and fronts were in the mass tornado hit June 1st 2011?
There are no fronts "in" a tornado, though tornadoes are often associated with them. The tornado outbreak that affected Massacusetts on June 1, 2011 was associated with a cold front, which occurs when a cooler air mass pushes into a warmer one.
Are icebergs stronger than a tornado?
There is no basis for comparison between the two. An iceberg's "strength" is its mass and hardness. A tornado's strength is its wind speed.
What are 2 words for a rapidly spinning air mass that is dangerous that both start with a T?
These are: Tropical Tornado: or a Cyclone.
2 types of air masses that form a tornado?
Most often a warm, moist air mass collides with a cool air mass, a cold air mass, or both. However, such a collision alone will only form thunderstorms. Other factors are needed for those storms to produce tornadoes.
What is a whirling circular mass of air and water in the center of a tornado?
The whirling circular mass of air and water in the center of a tornado is called the "eye." It is a relatively calm and clear area in the center of the storm where there is low pressure. The eye is surrounded by the eyewall, which is where the strongest wind speeds and heaviest precipitation occur.
Is a tornado cold or hot air?
Tornadoes typically form in a warm air mass, as that is what provides the energy, though it is often near a boundary with a cooler or drier air mass. However, due tot he pressure drop the air in a tornado is cooler than its surroundings.
Air masses that form a tornado?
Tornadoes are a product of severe thunderstorms usually found where a warm, moist air mass collides with either a cooler air mass or a dry air mass.
