Generally the strongest tornadoes tend to be larger, but this is not always the case. Some very powerful tornadoes have been small and some fairly weak ones have been huge.

What is stronger a small skinny tornado or a large tornado?

A large tornado is typically stronger than a small, skinny tornado. The size of a tornado is often an indication of its strength, with wider tornadoes usually having higher wind speeds and causing more damage. However, other factors such as wind speed, duration, and path can also affect a tornado's strength.


What is the Experiment question for tornado in a bottle?

How does changing the speed at which the bottle is spun affect the size or duration of the tornado created inside it?


What causes a tornado to lose its strength?

A tornado can lose its strength when it moves over cooler water or land, or if it encounters strong winds that disrupt its circulation. Additionally, if the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado weakens or dissipates, the tornado will also lose strength.


What is the strongest strength of a tornado and the least strongest strength of a tornado?

The highest strength rating a tornado can receive is EF5. Areas impacted by the full force of an EF5 tornado will experience total destruction. Well-built houses will be wiped clean of their foundations, and steel reinforced structures will be leveled. The lowest strength rating a tornado can receive is EF0. An EF0 tornado can peel shingles from roofs, break tree branches, and knock down a few trees. Some very weak structures may be destroyed.


How do you find out the strength of a tornado?

The strength of a tornado is determined by the damage it does to man-made structures and vegetation. When a structure takes damage from a tornado, the degree of damage, the type of structure, and its quality of construction are used to estimate the strength of the winds that caused that damage. This is then used to sort the tornado into one of six intensity categories of the Enhanced Fujita Scale, ranging from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest.

How does the size and strength of a tornado relate to the amount of destruction it cause?

Generally the stronger the tornado, the more severe the damage it causes. A large tornado can affect a larger area than a small tornado and therefore cause a greater quantity of damage, though it is not necessarily more severe.

How big is the eye of tornado usually?

A tornado does not always have an eye. When it does it can be about a quarter of the width of the funnel.


Does size affect gravity's strength?

Size does not but mass does.

Does magnet size affect the strength of a magnet?

Yes it does!


Does the size of an egg affect the strength?

NO.it doesnt.


Is a tornado strong when the eye is big or small?

A tornado's strength is not determined by the size of its eye. The eye of a tornado is typically small and calm, surrounded by a larger area of intense winds known as the eyewall. The strength of a tornado is measured by its wind speed and the amount of damage it causes, not by the size of its eye.


Does the temorature of the magnet affect the strength of the magnet?

No the temperature doesn't the size does.


Is f1 the biggest tornado?

No. For one thing, Fujita (F) scale ratings measure the strength of a tornado, not its size. F1 is the second weakest rating a tornado can get (F0 is the weakest). Weak tornadoes such as this are generally small, but occasionally can be large. The highest rating a tornado can get is F5.

What is the usual strength of a tornado?

A typical tornado is probably a strong EF0 or EF1.
