On a field map, the winds are the strongest when the isobars are very close together, and the pressure gradient is high.
What else can I help you with?
Do tornadoes have stronger winds than hurricanes?
In most cases the wind speeds fall into the same range. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to produce winds in excess of 150 mph, which are rarely attained by hurricanes. The most violent tornadoes do produce stronger winds than even the most intense hurricanes.
Why are some materials stronger than others?
Some materials are stronger than others due to their atomic structure and bonding. Materials with strong atomic bonds, such as metals, tend to be stronger than materials with weaker bonds, such as plastics. Additionally, the arrangement of atoms and the presence of defects in the material can also affect its strength.
How fast can winds be inside a tornado?
Most tornadoes have peaking winds of less than 110 mph, but these events are rarely notable. Violent tornadoes are much stronger, with the most powerful packing winds well over 200 mph. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was to 302 mph in the Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999, though this was at a point more than 100 feet off the ground where winds are stronger. Other tornadoes have produced more impressive damage than the OKC tornado without getting their winds measured and may very well have been more intense.
Do windmills spin faster in light winds?
No, windmills do not spin faster in light winds. Windmills require a minimum wind speed to start spinning, and their speed is determined by the wind's strength. In lighter winds, windmills may not generate as much electricity as in stronger winds.
How do pressure differences explain the destructive effects of a tornado's winds?
Generally the lower the pressure inside a tornado (compared with its surroundings) the stronger and more destructive the winds are. For example, if the pressure surrounding two tornadoes is 960 millibars, a tornado with a central pressure of 860 millibars will be stronger than one with a pressure of 900 millibars.
What makes some winds stronger than others?
the strongest winds blow in canoga park during winter and only in December, Jan, and Feb
Which is stronger a blizzard or a hurricane?
Hurricanes are generally stronger than blizzards. Hurricanes have stronger winds, more widespread impacts, and can cause more damage than blizzards, which are characterized by heavy snowfall and strong winds.
Why do some clouds move faster than others?
Some clouds move faster than others because of differences in wind speed and direction at different altitudes in the atmosphere. Stronger winds can push clouds along more quickly, while lighter winds may cause clouds to move more slowly.
Do tornadoes have stronger winds than hurricanes?
In most cases the wind speeds fall into the same range. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to produce winds in excess of 150 mph, which are rarely attained by hurricanes. The most violent tornadoes do produce stronger winds than even the most intense hurricanes.
Does a tropical storm have stronger winds than a tropical depression.?
Yes. A tropical storm has sustained winds of 39-73 mph. A tropical depression has winds of less than 39 mph.
Why are upper winds stronger than surface wind?
Surface winds are slowed by friction caused by topography as well as the built environment.
What makes curtin minerals stronger than others?
Certain minerals are stronger than others because of the way their atomic structures are arranged.
Is edward and Bella's relationship stronger than others?
No.
Which is stronger wind or earth?
No element is stronger than another. Each needs the others to exist.
Why are acids stronger than others?
because they have powerful chemicals that have a stronger affect then the lighter one
How strong are waterspouts?
Fair-weather waterspouts generally have winds less than 70 mph. Tornadic waterspouts tend to be stronger, through winds still do not usualle exceed 110 mph, though they can become much stronger.
What is a wind stronger than a tornado called?
A wind stronger than a tornado is called a derecho. Derechos are widespread and long-lived windstorms associated with fast-moving thunderstorms. They can cause extensive damage with straight-line winds that exceed tornado-strength winds.
