Tornadoes

Yes, tornadoes are atmospheric phenomena that typically form from severe thunderstorms with rotating updrafts. They are characterized by a violently rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground.

Yes, agricultural activities are more common in rural areas due to the availability of land and fewer urban developments. These areas typically have large expanses of farmland where crops are grown and livestock is raised. Residents in rural areas often rely on agriculture as a significant source of income and livelihood.

Although Georgia can get tornadoes at any time of year, the peak of activity in the state is in late winter and spring, with the months of March, April, and May seeing the highest activity.

There is no official beginning or end to tornado season, but it is generally considered to end in June. However, tornadoes are not limited to tornado season, it's just a time of higher tornado activity. Strong tornadoes can and have happened at all times of the year.

Tornadoes can form on both flat and bumpy land. However, the presence of obstacles like hills or valleys can disrupt the tornado's circulation or increase its intensity depending on the topography and wind patterns.

Yes. Scientists have placed probes with measuring instruments in the paths of tornadoes, the first one was developed in the 1980s but it was never succesfully deployed inside a tornado.

Because tornadoes are so unpredictable it is difficult to deploy them in the right place for an intercept, and to date only a few such probe deployments have been successful.

Generally, animals may be able to survive tornadoes by seeking shelter in natural structures or burrows underground. However, the severity of the tornado and the type of animal can greatly influence survival rates. Some animals may be more resilient to severe weather conditions than others.

Fayetteville, Arkansas has experienced numerous tornadoes over the years. However, I recommend checking a local weather database or the National Weather Service for the most up-to-date and specific information on the exact number of tornadoes that have hit Fayetteville.

You got to have the right atmospheric conditions. To form a tornado you have to have warm humid air and cool dry air the mix of that will cause thunderstorms to form. When the thunderstorm forms it can get stronger from the clashes of air and feed off that warm air. If you have rotating winds in the atmosphere such as winds blowing north and winds blowing south that will cause rotation in a storm to form and with that rotation if the rotation gets strong enough it can cause a funnel cloud to form and if that funnel cloud touches the ground it then becomes a tornado

First, the storm itself needs to be very strong and have a rotating updraft. Such a storm is called a supercell. The rotation originates from differences in wind speed and direction at different altitudes, a condition called wind shear. The mechanism that causes the rotating updraft of a supercell (called a mesocyclone) to produce a tornado is not fully understood, but the leading hypothesis states that as the mesocyclone intensifies a downdraft forms near the back of the storm and wraps around the mesocyclone, tightening it into the more intense vortex of a tornado.

Stratus clouds are typically low-level clouds that form below 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) in the atmosphere. They often appear as a blanket of gray or white clouds covering the sky and are associated with overcast conditions and light precipitation.

The tornado that hit Howe, Oklahoma in 1961 was classified as an F4 on the Fujita scale with estimated wind speeds between 207-260 mph. The size of the tornado's damage path was approximately 20 miles long and 200 yards wide.

A tornado with wind speeds of 75 mph would be rated as an EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale. EF0 tornadoes have wind speeds ranging from 65 to 85 mph and are considered weak tornadoes that cause minor damage.

There has to be circulation inside of a storm which if there is a tornado then it has that circulation. What makes it touchdown is when you have a strong updraft and downdraft which pushes that horizontal rotation into a vertical position which causes the funnel cloud to come in contact with the ground causing a tornado.

Yes, tornadoes can occur in the Houston area. While not as common as in some other parts of the country, Houston and surrounding areas do experience tornadoes especially during severe weather events such as hurricanes and thunderstorms. It is important for residents to be prepared and have a plan in place in case of a tornado.

There have been tornadoes in Maryland, including some very strong ones. Hurricanes are possibility too. Part of Maryland is by the ocean, and that is the part that could get a hurricane. Typically though hurricanes do not hit that high up the East coast.

Tornado season in the United States typically occurs during the spring and summer months, with peak activity in the central part of the country known as Tornado Alley from late spring to early summer. However, tornadoes can occur at any time of the year.

The distance to the Earth's core is about 6,370 km, so you would have to dig about 12,740 km to get across. Of course, this would vary a bit depending on there you started. Starting at the top of Mt. Everest, for example, would add about 9 km, but if you started from the Challenger Deep in the Pacific Ocean, you'd have about 11 km less.

can you explain it in a more easier way please? love, mia renae

The most powerful category of tornado is F5 on the Fujita scale or EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.

If your no about hurricanes typhoons and cyclones they are basically the same thing. Hurricanes begin as tropical storms over the warm moist waters like Atlantic and Pacific Oceans near the equator. As the moisture evaporates it rises until enormous amounts of heated moist air are twisted high in the atmosphere. The winds begin to circle counterclockwise north of the equator or clockwise south of the equator. The reatively peaceful center of the hurricane is called the eye. Around this center winds move at speeds 74 - 200 miles per hour. As long as the hurricane remains over waters of 79F or warmer, it continues to pull moisture from the surface and grow in size and force. When a hurricane crosses land or cooler waters, it loses its source of power, and its wind gradually slow until they are no longer of hurricane force--less than 74 miles per hour.

The Tri-State tornado killed 71 people in Indiana

The intensity of tornadoes is measured on the Fujita-Pearson Tornado Intensity Scale, or "F-Scale". This scale was named after the men who developed it, Dr. Theodore Fujita, and Allan Pearson, head of the Forecast Center in Kansas City. It ranges from F0 for the weakest tornado to F5 for the strongest.

In 2007 the National Weather Service in the U.S. upgraded to the Enhanced Fujita Scale, with the intention of providing more detailed and accurate ratings, which includes adjusted wind speed estimates. Overall, though, the damage done by each intensity category remains largely the same. Similar to the original scale, it ranges from EF0 to EF5.

The U.K. utilizes the TORRO scale, which uses similar damage and wind ranges to the Fujita-Pearson scale, but has two levels for every one on the F-scale, ranging from T0 to T11.

Tornadoes most often form along a cold front.

There are different standards of assessing that. Note that even "weak" tornadoes produce very strong winds that can cause damage. The strength of tornadoes is assessed on the Enhanced Fujita Scale from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest (formerly the Fujita scale, F0 to F5). By some standards a strong tornado is one rated EF2 or higher, while by others it is one rated EF3 or higher. Another standard splits the scale into three parts with EF0 and EF1 labeled "weak" EF2 and EF3 labeled "strong" and EF4 and EF5 labeled "violent."
