Tornadoes

Even in weak tornado, trees may lose branches or be uprooted. In stronger tornadoes many trees may be snapped or uprooted while some smaller plants are flattened. Violent tornadoes can rip plants out of the ground and creat swaths of complete deforestation. In the most extreme cases, all vegetation may be removed. Even grass can be scoured from the ground.

Tropical cyclone (generic term for hurricane,s, typhoons, etc.) form over warm ocean water and are common in all tropical ocean basins except the Atlantic Ocean in the southern hemisphere. such strums are called hurricanes in the northern hemisphere in the Atlantic basin and the eastern Pacific. Pacific hurricanes typically form off the western coast of Central America or southern Mexico. Atlantic hurricane often originate off the coast of Africa, though can develop in the western parts of the basin as well.

Tornadoes are more common in temperate environments. The central United States is the area of highest tornado frequency, this region extends a bit into southern Canada. Other hot spots can be found in Bangladesh/India, Australia, South Africa, and Argentina.

A funnel typically has a conical shape with a wide opening at the top and a narrow spout at the bottom. It is used to channel liquids or powders into a container with precision and minimal spillage by guiding the flow through its tapered design.

It is pronounced as "foo-jee-tah."

Tornadoes can damage or destroy property sometimes on a massive scale, and can cause numerous injuries and fatalities. Even weak tornadoes can lead to power outages and block roads with fallen trees.

cyclones. We say hurricanes. Thank you for asking such an educated question! Your welcome and bye!">Yes they do all spin the same way ~ counter clockwise. But in Australia, they spin clockwise because of they are in the southern hemisphere, while a hurricane is the same type of storm in the northern hemisphere. They call them cyclones. We say hurricanes. Thank you for asking such an educated question! Your welcome and bye!

The top part of a tornado is called "the top"

Tornadoes most frequently happen in Tornado Alley, a strip of land that goes up the United States Midwest. However, tornadoes can happen almost anywhere. Flat land, like in Tornado Alley, does not interfere with the winds, so the tornado is not dissipated.

A hurricane is a kind of vortex.

A vortex can be defined as a spiral motion of fluid (liquid or gas) withing a limited area, especially such as motion that pulls in things near it.

A hurricane meets this definition.

Tornadoes can occur in hurricanes, but they are not required for a hurricane to form. Tornadoes in hurricanes tend to be weaker and more short-lived compared to those in severe thunderstorms. The conditions within a hurricane can sometimes spawn tornadoes, particularly in the outer rain bands.

It depends on the intensity of tor tornado. The heaviest objects known to have been lifted by a tornado was a 90 ton oil tank. The intensity of the tornado that did this was likely well into the F5 range.

Names are not assigned to tornadoes because they are typically tracked and identified by their date, time, and location. Using a naming system for tornadoes could create confusion and make it difficult to track multiple tornadoes simultaneously. Additionally, tornadoes are short-lived and can occur rapidly, making it impractical to assign names to each individual tornado.

Hurricanes primarily occur in tropical regions, such as the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and eastern Pacific Ocean, during the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November) and the eastern Pacific hurricane season (May-November). Tornadoes can occur in many parts of the world, but are most common in the United States, particularly in "Tornado Alley" (central U.S.), during the spring and early summer months.

No, oil and water do not mix together as a tornado. Oil and water have different densities and do not easily mix because they are immiscible. In a tornado, different air masses with varying temperatures and humidity create the rotating column of air.

Hurricanes are most common along Florida and the gulf coast states as well as the east and northeast parts of the United States. Tornadoes are most common in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South and North Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. However states such as Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia have gotten quite a few tornadoes in recent years.

It varies. Since official records began in 1950, tornadoes in Nebraska have killed a total of 54 people. Among these, individual tornadoes have had death tolls ranging from 1 to 11. The last killer tornado hit Nebraska was on May 22, 2004.

Missouri does not get hurricanes as it is too far inland, though the remnants of hurricanes can still bring rain and thunderstorms.

Tornadoes, on the other hand, are fairly common in Missouri.

Missouri can also get large hail, damaging straight-line winds, and heavy flooding, which can all be produced by the same storms that spawn tornadoes.

Most tornadoes don't even destroy homes, typically causing minor to moderate damage. Some tornadoes never even hit homes, striking only trees or open fields. At the other end of the spectrum, very strong tornadoes can destroy dozens or hundreds of homes with some of the worst destroying thousands.

Tornado alley is not an event, it is an area of the central plains of the United States.

It is always there and will almost certainly be there as long as the continents have their current forms.

Jupiter's Great Red Spot isn't really a tornado, and actually has more in common with a hurricane. But, to answer the question, it is over 300 years old, possibly much older. It has been raging since at least the first time Jupiter was observed through a telescope. It is not known how long it was going on before that.

There were no recorded tornadoes in Jesup, Georgia in 2008.

Wind speeds in an EF5 tornado are estimated to be in excess of 200 mph. They can reach much higher, potentially exceeding 300 mph.

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes can cause extensive damage and can take you to a safer location if proper shelter is sought during a tornado warning. It is important to take tornado warnings seriously and seek shelter in a designated safe place.

The highest fatalities occurred in the Daulatpur-Salturia, Bangladesh tornado of April 26, 1989. The exact death toll is unknown, but it is estimated at about 1300.

The most deadly in the US was the Tri-state Tornado of March 18, 1925. It destroyed property on a 220-mile path from Missouri to Indiana over a period of 3.5 hours. It killed 695 people and was part of an outbreak of at least 9 tornadoes across the central US.

The most commonly used ranking system for a tornado is the Enhanced Fujita Scale which ranks F0 to F5 based on the strength and intensity of the winds exhibited. The United States receives as many as 1,200 tornadoes each year with most ranked as F3 or weaker, and most are located in the rural areas where structural damage is nominal. An F5 can produce wind speeds as high as 300 miles per hour.
