What else can I help you with?
Does the size of a tornado have to do with how strong it is?
There is a general tendency for stronger tornadoes to be larger, but size is not a reliable indicator. Many tornadoes that are half a mile wide or more are of at least EF3 strength, but some have been recorded as weak as EF0. Similarly, while a small tornado is not likely to be very strong, some fairly small tornadoes have received ratings of F4 and F5. Further complicating the situation, a tornado can change greatly in both size and intensity over its lifetime, sometimes intensifying as it narrows or weakening as it widens, or sometimes the other way around.
Can tornadoes pick stuff up?
Yes. Even very weak tornadoes will lift dust and twigs. Stronger tornadoes can lift roofs, garages, barns, and some vehicles. The most violent tornadoes will lift large trucks, train cars, and even well built houses.
Is it true that if you stand in the eye of a tornado it won't hurt you?
No. Although the eye of a tornado is calm, you have to get through the extreme winds of the core to get in and out. The eye of a tornado is small enough that unless the tornado is large and slow-moving, you will not be in the eye for more than a few seconds.
Would a small wave or a large wave have more energy?
a large wave because it is built and its structure is stronger.
Which is bigger an F5 tornado or a F1 tornado?
In most cases an F5 tornado will be larger than an F1. However, tornado ratings are a measure of the strength of a tornado, not its size. F5 is the strongest category, and such tornadoes are usually very large, but a few have been fairly small. Conversely, F1 is the second lowest rating (F0 is the lowest) and such tornadoes are generally small, but some have been huge.
How much land is destroyed in a tornado?
Depends how large or small the Tornado is.
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.
What the worst characteristics of a tornado?
In a violent tornado the worst features are flying debris and suction vortices, small whirlwinds that have stronger winds than the rest of the tornado.
Which characteristics of a tornado are the most dangerous?
In a violent tornado the worst features are flying debris and suction vortices, small whirlwinds that have stronger winds than the rest of the tornado.
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.
Is an acid with a small Ka stronger than an acid with a large Ka?
No. An acid with a large Ka is stronger. A lower pKa indicates a stronger acid.
How many countries have tornados destroyed?
None. A tornado is fairly small compared to other types of storm. While a large enough tornado could destroye a town, not tornado is large enough to destroy a country.
Does the water level in beaches change with a tornado?
Unless its a large, intense tornado crossing a small lake, no. Other storms, such as hurricanes, canrais water levels but tornadoes are too small to move large enough quantities of water.
Chances of a tornado hitting you?
The chances of a tornado hitting you are low. Most tornadoes are small and even the largest are rarely over a mile wide. That may seem large, but it it is still small compared with the total area around the tornado.
Is a tornado a frontal storm?
No. A tornado is a small scale but violent whirlwind. A frontal storm is a large scale system that connects to one or more fronts.
Are hurricanes and tornadoes both types of cyclones?
No. A hurricane is a type of cyclone, but a tornado is not. A cyclone is a large-scale weather system. A tornado is a small-scale circulation.
Is a tornado as big as a whole city?
Generally not. In most cases a tornado would not cover more than a football field or two. Occasionally a tornado may be large enough to engulf a small town.
