Why does the size of a tornado not determine the damage of a tornado?
The damage severity in a tornado is determined primarily by wind speed. For example, a tornado with peak winds of 100 mph, even if it is very large, is not going to obliterate well built houses, thought it will cause severe roof damage. By contrast, even a relatively small tornado with peak winds of 250 mph can completely destroy just about any structure.
What is the tool used to measer the size of a tornado?
The damage is surveyed and where damage boundaries are is noted. This is the used to show how wide the tornado is. Note that the size is not a factor in how the tornado is rated but how intense the damage is.
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?
How does fujita scale measure the intensity of a tornado?
The Fujita scale uses the severity of damage to determine the strength of a tornado.The Fujita scale rates tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they cause. Scientists examine the damage left by a tornado and determine what level (F0 to F5) best fits it. The overall rating of the tornado comes from the most severe damage it causes.
How do tornadoes pick stuff up?
Tornadoes pick up objects by creating a strong rotating column of air that moves upwards and spins rapidly. The fast wind speeds within the tornado can lift and carry objects like debris, trees, and vehicles with significant force. The intensity of a tornado's winds and the size of the objects determine what it can pick up and carry.
How do you size a tornado?
The size of a tornado, or its width is determined by how wide the area of damage is. The rating of a tornado, which is not dependent on size (though there is some correlation) is based on the severity of the damage caused.
Can a tornado knock down a mausoleum?
Yes, a tornado can potentially knock down a mausoleum due to its extreme winds and destructive power. The strength and size of the tornado, as well as the construction materials and design of the mausoleum, will determine the extent of damage.
How do tornadoes get their size?
By how strong the tornado is. Even though strong tornadoes tend to be larger how strong a tornado is does not determine its size. Relatively weak tornadoes have been very large and extremely strong tornadoes have been relatively small.
What is the size of a tornado shelter?
A tornado shelter typically ranges in size between that of a large closet and a small office.
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.
What scale is used to determine how strong a tornado is on the ground?
Ted Fujita discovered the Fujita Scale to determine how much strength a tornado has based on the damage it produces.
Why does the size of a tornado not determine the damage of a tornado?
The damage severity in a tornado is determined primarily by wind speed. For example, a tornado with peak winds of 100 mph, even if it is very large, is not going to obliterate well built houses, thought it will cause severe roof damage. By contrast, even a relatively small tornado with peak winds of 250 mph can completely destroy just about any structure.
Where is the next tornado likely to hit?
That is impossible to determine.
What machine is used to determine the intensity a tornado?
No machine is used. The intensity of a tornado is determined by a visual survey of the damage.
The size of an average tornado?
50 yards
When will the next tornado occur and where?
It is impossible to determine where or when the next tornado will be. The potential for a tornado in a specific place can't be predicted much more than a few minutes ahead of time. For a general region (at least the size of a state), the potential for tornadoes can be seen hours, or sometimes days ahead of time, but it is impossible to tell where or when individual tornadoes will hit.
How fast are the wind speeds in a tornado?
depends on size of the tornado anywhere from 65 to over 300 mph.
