Is the wind inside a tornado calm?
It is believed that there is a calm "eye" at the center of a tornado. But mostly the winds in a tornado are very strong.
Why are strong tornadoes faster then weak tornadoes?
Strong tornadoes do not necessarily move faster, but the faster winds inside the tornado are the reason they're stronger. There are a number of factors affecting the strength of the winds inside a tornado and scientists still do not fully understand them. One factor simply has to do with the amount of energy in the atmosphere that can power a thunderstorm and thus a tornado. A thunderstorm also has to have strong rotation to produce a tornado, especially a strong one. If the rotation in a storm isn't strong enough, then not much of the energy will go into the winds of the tornado. Finally, the tornado's level or organization influences the winds it can generate. A disorganized tornado is unlikely to be able to focus its energy to produce the extreme winds seen in strong tornadoes.
How are the strong winds associated with the tornado in diagram c?
The strong winds associated with a tornado in diagram c are caused by the updraft and downdraft within the thunderstorm. As warm, moist air rises rapidly, it creates rotation within the storm, leading to the development of a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. The violent winds in the tornado are a result of this rotating column of air reaching the ground.
How strong can thunderstorms winds get without a tornado?
Thunderstorm winds can reach speeds of 60-100 mph, known as straight-line winds or downdrafts, without the presence of a tornado. These winds can cause significant damage and are often associated with severe thunderstorms.
What does a tornado produce?
A tornado produces strong winds that spiral around a center of low pressure, causing immense damage by lifting and displacing debris in its path. It can also generate lightning and hail within the storm system.
How strong can the winds in a tornado funnel reach?
On rare occasions winds in a tornado can get to a little over 300mph.
Do strong winds occur before a tornado?
yes
Is the wind inside a tornado calm?
It is believed that there is a calm "eye" at the center of a tornado. But mostly the winds in a tornado are very strong.
Is there still wind before a tornado hits?
Yes, strong winds often accompany tornadoes, known as the outflow winds or downdrafts. These winds can be felt before the tornado actually touches down, indicating that a tornado may be approaching.
What is the most important characteristic or feature of a tornado?
Very strong rotating winds.
Can 15-20mph prvent a tornado?
If you mean can a 15-20 mph wind then no. In fact there is strong evidence to support that strong winds from a specific portion of a thunderstorm are what help form a tornado. These winds can exceed 100 mph.
Are cyclones faster than tornadoes?
It depends on the cyclone, and the tornado. In some cases cyclone winds and tornado winds fall into the same range. However, tornado winds are generally stronger. By definition, a tornado must produce winds strong enough to cause damage; the same is not true of a cyclone. The very strongest tornadoes produce winds in excess of 300 mph, the fastest winds on earth.

What is the opposite of a tornado?
There is not opposite of a tornado, except perhaps a clear day with no wind.
How tornado winds can harm things on the ground?
The winds of a tornado are very vast. The force the winds carry can tear things apart or push them past their breaking point. The winds even in a "weak" tornado can also topple trees onto buildings. The winds in strong tornado can propel objects at high speeds, causing more damage than the wind alone. The stronger a tornado gets, the larger and heavier objects it can carry.
How are the strong winds associated with the tornado in diagram c?
The strong winds associated with a tornado in diagram c are caused by the updraft and downdraft within the thunderstorm. As warm, moist air rises rapidly, it creates rotation within the storm, leading to the development of a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone.

What causes most damage from a tornado?
The greatest amount of damage in a tornado is caused by extremely strong winds. Additional damage is from flying debris.
