The wind going over the roof of the house creates an upward pressure force that, in a strong enough tornado, can actually lift the roof from the house.

How is a tornado in a bottle project similar to a real tornado?

A tornado in a bottle project uses liquid to simulate the vortex motion of a real tornado. Both involve rotating air masses creating a funnel shape. However, the scale and force of a real tornado are much stronger and destructive than what can be replicated in a bottle.


How does Bernoulli's principle lift roofs during a tornado?

Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid (or air) increases, its pressure decreases. During a tornado, the fast-moving air above the roof creates low pressure, while the slower-moving air below the roof creates higher pressure. This pressure difference can create lift force that can cause roofs to be lifted during a tornado.


What does the demiage in a tornado?

The damage in a tornado can vary from minor to severe, including uprooted trees, damaged buildings, overturned vehicles, and debris scattered over a wide area. The intensity of the damage depends on the strength of the tornado and the structures in its path.


Can you shoot a bullet through a tornado?

You probably couldn't shoot a bullet through a tornado, mostly because of the massive wind speeds that will turn the bullet off-course, and the fact that there is so much stuff flying through the air, that the bullet will hit something and stop.


When does a tornado actually become a tornado?

A tornado is officially confirmed when a rotating column of air reaches the ground and makes contact with the surface. This contact creates the characteristic funnel cloud shape that is associated with tornadoes.
