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.
The winds at the outer edge of a tornado typically spin faster than those closer to the center. This is due to the conservation of angular momentum, where the outer winds travel a longer distance in the same time as the inner winds, causing them to speed up.
The strength of a magnet's force increases as the magnet gets larger or closer to an object.
Tornadoes form from rotating thunderstorms, with the updraft within the storm tilting the rotating air upwards. This rotating air then stretches vertically, intensifying the rotation and creating a tornado. Tornadoes acquire their energy from the warm, moist air near the surface that fuels the thunderstorm's updraft.
A tornado forms from thunderstorms. The thunderstorm starts turning because the wind at different heights is going in different directions and at different speeds. Sometimes this turning in the storm gets focused into a smaller area and starts spinning faster, becoming a tornado.
When you flip the bottle you impart some circulation into the bottle. As water gets pulled in towards the hole at the bottom of the bottle this circulation speeds up through the conservation of angular momentum. The draining water and vortex enhance one another until it forms a "tornado."
Tornadoes get their strength from the storms that produce them. The storms in turn get their energy from instability in the air.
she start to see her potential and started measuring herself on her strength not on a scale. She GETS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!
no body invented tornado the tornado just gets formed by weather
The Fujita scale is named after Dr. Tetsuya Fujita, a Japanese-American meteorologist who developed the scale in collaboration with Allen Pearson. Dr. Fujita pioneered research on tornado intensity and damage in the United States, leading to the creation of the scale to categorize tornadoes based on the damage they cause.
Yes. Montana is not in Tornado Alley, but it usually gets a few tornadoes each year.
As a tornado intensifies it may develop a series of smaller vorticies within the main circulation.
Tornado Alley typically gets about 800 tornadoes in a year.
Unfortunately many animals do die in tornadoes, depending on the strength of the tornado. Animals will naturally hide, and I would imagine that they generally make it through such situations because most are quite small and obviously can't get caught in a car or a collapsing house when a tornado strikes, and certainly those that can hide underground probably come out unscathed most often.
Tornadoes can happen in any place that gets thunderstorms.
Yes, the state at least gets them every year. There has been at least one tornado in the Bronx.
Yes. Arkansas is very near Tornado Alley and gets tornadoes fairly frequently.
You don't go anywhere in particular. Anything that gets picked up by a tornado usually gets deposited somewhere later along its track. Lighter objects tend to travel farther.
