So they can study tornados
A tornado watch is just to tell you that the conditions are right for a tornado to form, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a tornado will form. Basically, It's just to give you a heads-up. If you're on the road, i would try to get to shelter. But, if a tornado warning has been issued, it means that a tornado has been reported or spotted on radar. Then, i would definitely move to your basement or get in a sturdy structure, or at least pull over to the side of the road if there are no buildings in sight.
No, tornadoes can move in any direction, although the majority do tend to travel from the southwest to the northeast in the United States. The specific direction a tornado moves depends on the larger weather system it is associated with.
Move to a new region where tornadoes are less likely. The safest place during a tornado is underground in a basement or storm cellar.
Yes, tornadoes can occur in the temperate zone, but they are more common in the Tornado Alley region of North America. Hurricanes, on the other hand, typically form in tropical regions and then move into the temperate zones.
In terms of forward speed a tornado usually moves faster. The average tornado moves at 35 mph, sometimes faster than 60 mph. Hurricanes usually move at 10-20mph, rarely as high as 40 mph. In terms of wind speed a tornado can be much stronger The fastest wind recorded in a hurricane were 190 mph. The fastest winds recorded in a tornado were 302 mph.
Yes. It is located in the middle of the united states (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas etc) due to a favorable climate setup. Tornado Alley does not move, but major tornado outbreak can happen in other regions.
On average tornadoes in Tornado Alley kill about 16 people, but the numbers can vary greatly from one year to the next. Tornado Alley actually accounts for a minority of tornado deaths in the U.S. Nationwide the annual average death toll is about 56. The greatest portion of tornado fatalities in the U.S. actually occur in Dixie Alley, a second region of high tornado activity stretching from Arkansas to Tennessee and Georgia. This region averages 25 tornado deaths per year. While Dixie Alley generally has fewer tornadoes overall than Tornado Alley, it is more densely populated and the tornadoes there tend to move faster.
Tornado Alley doesn't really move as it is an area that, over the long term, gets the most and the strongest tornadoes. However, the areain any given year can vary. Sometimes it is in Tornado Alley, and sometimes it is not.
Tornado Alley, primarily located in the central United States, is more prone to tornadoes due to its unique geography and climate. This region experiences frequent clashes between warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cold, dry air from Canada and the Rocky Mountains, creating ideal conditions for severe thunderstorms. Additionally, the relatively flat terrain allows these storms to develop and move freely, increasing the likelihood of tornado formation. The combination of these atmospheric and geographical factors makes Tornado Alley a hotspot for tornado activity.
Someone would involuntarily move if they were evicted from their home.
Yes. A tornado can move in any direction, though tornadoes that move westward are rare.
It varies as different tornadoes move at different speeds. The average tornado, however, moves at about 30 mph. At this speed a tornado would travel a mile in two minutes. Some slow moving tornadoes may move at 10 mph or less. At 10 mph a tornado would travel a mile in six minutes. Some of the fastest-moving tornadoes have traveled at 70 mph. At this speed a tornado would move a mile in just over 50 seconds.
It depends on how fast the tornado is traveling. The average tornado moves at about 30 mph, so in 15 minutes an average tornado would move 7.5 miles. However, some tornadoes move much faster. The fastest moving tornado on record was found, at times, to travel at 73 mph. At that speed the tornado would travel just over 18 miles in 15 minutes.
10 to 20 mph would be a slow moving tornado. A typical tornado travels at 30-35 mph.
It depends on how fast the tornado is moving, which varies. An average tornado moves at about 30 mph, so it would take 2 minutes to travel a mile. The fastest a tornado has ever been known to travel was 73 mph, in which case it would travel a mile in about 50 seconds. At the other end, some tornadoes barely move at all.
That is the general direction that most tornadoes move in. The air in a tornado spirals inwards towards the center and upward.
The tornado move is actually in the first game, not the second. And in order to get the tornado move, you have to keep upgrading Aang's offensive moves every time your experience levels up until you get to the Tornado
