It all involves the conditions that lead to them forming. To produce a strong, long tornado a thunderstorm must have strong rotation and a strong updraft, and the relative humidity should be fairly high. In order to produce a long-track tornado, the storm must be able to maintain the tornado-producing state. Weak tornadoes form when conditions are less ideal. Some weak, short-lived tornadoes are spin ups that form outside of a larger supporting circulation.

Does strength affect the size of a tornado?

Strength is determined by wind speed, not size, in tornadoes. The Enhanced Fujita Scale categorizes tornadoes based on their estimated wind speeds and resulting damage. Tornado size can vary, with larger tornadoes usually associated with stronger wind speeds.


Are tornadoes constructive forces?

Tornadoes are typically categorized as destructive forces due to the damage they cause to structures and landscapes. They can uproot trees, destroy buildings, and create widespread devastation in their paths. However, in some cases, tornadoes can contribute to the natural ecosystem by dispersing seeds and nutrients and promoting ecological succession.


What is the diffreence between thin and fat tornadoes?

Thin tornadoes are typically weak and do not conjure much damage, while fat tornadoes are usually much more dangerous, and can grow to over mile in width. However, this is only the general trend. Some very large tornadoes have been relatively weak while a few very violent tornadoes have been relatively small.


Why are some tornadoes more destructive then others?

There is a combination of factors that make one tornado more destructive than another..Some tornadoes are stronger than others, winds can be anywhere from 65 mph (causing minor damage) to over 300 mph (total destruction)Some tornadoes are wider than others (ranging from a few yards to over a mile) and so affect larger or smaller areas.Some tornadoes cover greater distances (sometimes only a few hundred feet, other times over 100 miles)Some tornadoes hit more developed area than others.


How do tornadoes travel?

Many tornadoes can range from travel, some barley a few feet or yards, some up to 20 miles or more, depending on the tornado. The longest distance a tornado has ever been known to travel was 219 miles.

What fronts are tornadoes created by?

Tornadoes are most often associated with cold fronts, but they also frequently form along dry lines and occasionally along warm fronts. Some tornadoes, such as those spawned by hurricanes, form in the absence of any front.

Are all world regions in the midlatitudes equally likely to experience tornadoes?

No. Some regions have much higher tornado frequencies than other. For example, the central plains of the United States (a region called tornado alley) experiences more tornadoes than anywhere else in the world, but west of the Rockies tornadoes are relatively rare.
