The F stands for Fujita as in the Fujita scale, which was invented in 1971 by Tetsuya Theodore Fujita. The Fujita scale measures the intensity of tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on damage.

What are the different types of tornadoes?

The two main types of tornadoes are supercell tornadoes, which form from rotating thunderstorms, and non-supercell tornadoes, which form from different weather patterns like landspouts or waterspouts. Additionally, tornadoes can be classified based on intensity using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest).

How did the F-scale help scientist learn more about unpredictable tornadoes?

The F-scale, or Fujita scale, helped scientists study tornado intensity by providing a way to categorize tornadoes based on the damage they caused. By analyzing the damage pattern caused by tornadoes of different intensities, scientists were able to better understand the characteristics and behavior of tornadoes and improve their forecasting and warning systems.
