The Fujita scale is the most famous and most widely used scale for rating tornadoes. It rates tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on severity of damage. It has been replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF0 to EF5) in the U.S.
The Fujita Scale (replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007) is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on damage. It gets its name from its creator, Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.
No. The Richter scale (since replaced by the Moment Magnitude scale) was used to measure earthquake intensity. The Fujita scale (now the Enhanced Fujita scale in the U.S.) is used to rate tornadoes.
The most well, known scale is the Fujita scale, which runs from F0 to F5. In the U.s. it has been replaced by the Enhanced Fujita scale, which, similarly, runs from EF0 to EF5.
Tornado strength is typically measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). The rating is based on the tornado's estimated wind speed and resulting damage.
Yes, the Fujita scale measures the intensity of a tornado based on the damage it causes. It rates tornadoes on a scale from F0 (weakest) to F5 (strongest) based on the estimated wind speeds and extent of damage.
The Fujita scale is only for tornado intensity. Meteorologists use a different wind scale for hurricanes called the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Tornadoes do have a scale by which they are rated. It is the Enhanced Fujita scale. However, trackers do not use it to rate the tornado as it occurs. Damage is assessed by experts after the tornado has passed.
Scientists use damage to rated tornadoes on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale.

The Fujita and Enhanced Fujita scales assesses damage caused by a tornado to assign a rating.

Tornadoes are typically measured on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on the tornado's intensity and damage it causes. The EF scale takes into account observed damage to estimate the wind speeds of a tornado.
A scale is used to measure things...I see you've tagged "tornadoes" so you may be referring to the Fugita Scale--which is used to measure the damage caused by a tornado.
The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage caused by a tornado to determine its strength. The more severe the damage is the stronger the tornado.
