Tornadoes

it takes 30687 earth days to fully orbit the sun once. If you lived on Uranus you would call this 1 year.

No. The fastest speed a tornado has peen known to travel is 73 mph, about 1/10 the speed of sound. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph, still less than half the speed of sound.

Depends on whether or not you call Pluto a Planet.

If so, yes Pluto. Which takes around 248 earth days to orbit the sun.

If not, it's Neptune. Which takes 165 earth days to orbit the sun.

Damage from a tornado is typically measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). This scale assesses tornado damage based on the estimated wind speeds and resultant destruction.

To start off, the thunderstorm needs to have a rotating low pressure area called a mesocyclone, covering an area 2 to 6 miles wide. This usually occurs in the rear portion of a supercell, but can also develop within a squall line, often on the north side of a bow echo. A downdraft can occur near the mesocyclone and wrap around the bottom portion, causing it to tighten and intensify and stretch toward the ground, producing a tornado.

The estimated wind range for an F4 tornado is 207-260 mph.

On the Enhanced Fujita scale this was change to 166-200 mph for an EF4 tornado.

Tornadoes can be caused by either supercell thunderstorms or by the interaction of cold and warm fronts. Supercell thunderstorms are the most common cause of tornadoes, with their rotating updrafts creating the conditions necessary for tornado formation. When cold and warm fronts clash, the temperature difference and wind dynamics can create the instability needed for tornado development.

The pressure inside a tornado is low compared to its surroundings, though exactly how low pressure can get in a tornado is unknown as few measurements have been taken, but it is generally accepted that the lower the pressure in a tornado, the stronger it is.

Wind in a tornado moves in a circular fashion very rapidly, so the tornado is actually a type of powerful vortex. On rare occasions these winds can exceed 200 or even 300 mph (320 or 480 km/h). In addition winds in a tornado move upward very quickly at speeds similar to those of the rotation.

Air near the tornado spirals inward

The Fujita scale does not directly rate tornadoes based on wind speed but rather on damage which is used to give a wind speed estimate.

The scale, which was developed in 1971 by Tetsuya Fujita, runs from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest. In recent years scientists have come to believe that the original winds estimates for the Fujita scale were inaccurate, especially for the F4 and F5 levels.

Those wind estimates have been changes on the Enhanced Fujita scale which was developed in 2007. Here are the categories for the Fujita (and Enhanced Fujita) scale with wind estimates and typical damage, but a tornado given a rating on one scale will still get the same rating on the other.

F0 40-72mph (EF0 65-85mph) light damage: tree limbs broken, weak rooted trees uprooted, minor roof damage to most buildings.

F1 72-112 mph (EF1 85-110mph) moderate damage: windows broken, house roofs sustain serious damage, trailers severely damaged.

F2 113-157 mph (EF2 111-135mph) significant damage: roofs torn from strong frame houses, trailers completely destroyed, small vehicles lifted.

F3 158-206 mph (EF3 135-165 mph) severe damage: many or most walls collapse in well-built houses, most trees in a forest uprooted.

F4 207-260 mph (EF4 166-200 mph) devastating damage: strong frame homes completely collapse and reduced to rubble, trees debarked.

F5: 261-318 mph (EF5 over 200 mph) incredible damage: strong frame homes completely swept away, foundations wiped clean.

to make a tornado in a bottle you can

1. spin a single bottle full of liquid

or

2. spin 2 two liter bottles atttatched to each other at the mouth with duct tape. No lids

A tornado is destructive due to its strong winds, which can reach speeds over 300 mph. These winds can uproot trees, damage buildings, and hurl debris, causing extensive destruction in its path. The combination of high wind speed and flying debris makes tornadoes highly dangerous and destructive natural disasters.

The forward speed of supercell tornadoes can vary widely, but they typically move at around 30-40 miles per hour. However, some tornadoes within a supercell can move faster, reaching speeds of up to 70 miles per hour or more.

In most cases an F5 tornado will be larger than an F1. However, tornado ratings are a measure of the strength of a tornado, not its size. F5 is the strongest category, and such tornadoes are usually very large, but a few have been fairly small.

Conversely, F1 is the second lowest rating (F0 is the lowest) and such tornadoes are generally small, but some have been huge.

When a tornado funnel reaches the ground, it can cause significant damage by destroying buildings, uprooting trees, and tossing objects into the air. This is the most dangerous phase of a tornado as it can leave a path of devastation in its wake.

A tornado is destructive due to its combination of high winds and debris, which can result in widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure. The rotating winds in a tornado can reach speeds of over 300 mph, causing destruction in its path by tearing apart structures and uprooting trees. Additionally, the unpredictability and rapid formation of tornadoes make them particularly dangerous and hard to prepare for.

When a tornado funnel touches the ground, the air near the surface rushes inward at high speeds and begins to rotate rapidly. This rotation causes the funnel cloud to extend downward, allowing the tornado to make contact with the ground and causing destruction in its path.

Objects get sucked up into a tornado due to the low pressure at the center of the vortex, which creates a strong upward suction force. This force can lift and carry debris, dust, and even larger objects into the funnel cloud.

Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses sound waves to measure blood flow velocity in the arteries of the brain. It is commonly used to assess conditions such as stroke, vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracranial stenosis. The test provides valuable information about blood flow patterns, helping in the diagnosis and management of various neurological disorders.

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. It moves in a swirling and spiraling fashion, often causing destruction in its path due to its strong winds and intense pressure gradients. Tornadoes can move erratically, changing direction and speed quickly.

Since tornadoes are spawned by thunderstorms they are often accompanied by lightning.

Additionally, some survivors have reported seeing the inside of a tornado frequently lit up by lightning.

depends on the siren... but about 4-10kW is average

The storm surge sends a wall of water over the low-lying areas. As it subsides, it carries a lot of soil into the sea. In addition, when you have a foot or more of rain it is going to cause a lot of erosion, even without the other hurricane conditions.

QNH, or altimeter setting, is a measure of atmospheric pressure adjusted to sea level. It is used by pilots to set their altimeters accurately for the local pressure conditions, ensuring safe altitude awareness during flight.

A warm, moist air mass and a cold, dry air mass are most likely to form a tornado when they meet. The warm air rises rapidly, creating instability, while the cold air creates a temperature difference that enhances the development of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
