Hurricane Sandy has peak sustained wind of 110 mph.
Yes, wind speed in hurricanes typically increases with altitude. This increase in wind speed with altitude is known as the wind profile within the hurricane, with the strongest winds typically found at higher altitudes in the storm's structure.
Yes. Antarctic winds are katabatic, and fall from the polar plateau to sea level, pulled by gravity and cold air seeking its low level. Antarctica is the highest continent -- and the windiest content. There is no continent in the Arctic to produce such winds.
There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.

The average wind speed is over 70km per hour.
There are brief moments during the year when there is no wind.
113 mph
Hurricane Sandy has peak sustained wind of 110 mph.
To see how fast it is blowing you silly goose:)
No. In terms of wind speed a tornado is the strongest. In terms of energy released and earthquake is the strongest.
No. It was the most destructive, but by no means the strongest. Other storms have been stronger in terms of both wind speed and barometric pressure.
there is a bit of wind in Antarctica as it is a windy place.
Over the whole continent hard to tell but a wind turbine is being installed at Scott base (New Zealand) because it has an average wind speed of 29 km/h. Vostok station (Russia) has 18 km/h. Mawson Station (Australia) averages 67 km/h the windiest place on earth.
Yes, wind speed in hurricanes typically increases with altitude. This increase in wind speed with altitude is known as the wind profile within the hurricane, with the strongest winds typically found at higher altitudes in the storm's structure.
In the summer, Antarctica is approximately -60 degrees. In the winter, it's approximatlely -80 degrees. When there are blizzards, it gets a lot colder, depending on the speed of wind.
Isobars, lines on a weather map connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure, can tell you about wind speed by showing areas where pressure gradients are strongest. The closer isobars are together, the stronger the pressure gradient and the faster the wind speed. Wind will flow from high pressure to low pressure areas along isobars.
