Tornadoes

No. A tornado is made almost entirely of air. The funnel of a tornado is made visible by droplets of liquid water, but those droplets would not make up more than 1-2% of the tornado's mass and an even smaller portion of its volume.

Over time most places on earth experience tornadoes. However for a long time Antarctica has ntmoved from the south pole and being there, it may be that there has not been enough localized heat to form a tornado. However it would be difficult to prove this.

Tornadoes can in fact occur almost anywhere and are not uncommon in other parts of the US amd the world. The Great Plains of the United States have an ideal climate setup. Warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cool air from Canada and dry air from the Rockies, leading to the potential for severe thunderstorms. Wind shear, or differences in wind speed and direction with altitude then set these storms rotating, turning them into supercells. These storms are the ones with the greatest potential to produce tornadoes. In short, the Great Plains have an ideal climate setup not just for tornadoes, but for the strong tornadoes that make major headlines. Additionally, unlike some other areas where tornadoes are common, the United States is a wealthy, technologically advanced country capable of keeping detailed reports of tornadoes. Some other countries are not so good at keeping track of tornadoes.

Antarctica is the only continent that has never had a typhoon or tornado. Its extremely cold climate and lack of significant landmass suitable for the formation of such weather events make it highly unlikely for them to occur there.

I think is Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico bicause Alaska doesn't have hot air and tornado does need hot air. Hawaii and Puerto Rico are bicause most of the tornados accure over water (waterspout)

Tornadoes can cause significant damage to the landscape by uprooting trees, flattening buildings, and tossing debris over great distances. The strong winds and flying debris can strip vegetation, erode soil, and alter the topography of the affected area.

The intensity of tornadoes is rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale based on the severity of the damage they cause. There are six levels that fall into three general groups. EF0 and EF1 tornadoes are referred to as "weak," EF2 and EF3 tornadoes are "strong" and EF4 and EF5 tornadoes are "violent." The use of the word "weak" to refer to some tornadoes is a relative term, as they are not as strong as other tornadoes, but can still cause damage with estimated winds of up to 110 mph.

Yes. When a tornado forms, hot and cold air come together. They spiral around each other at a great speed, which is known as torsion.

The most common rating for a tornado is EF0, accounting for almost 60% of tornadoes in the U.S. The higher the rating, the less often it occurs.

A tornado watch is issued where general conditions across a region will favorable for the formation of tornadoes over the next few hours. Such an advisory does not indicate an imminent tornado threat for any given location; that would warrant a tornado warning.

Tornado sirens are typically turned off after the threat of a tornado has passed or when it is no longer necessary to warn people of immediate danger. This helps prevent confusion and panic among residents in the area.

The highest Fujita rating for a tornado is F5, which represents winds of 261-318 mph (419-512 km/h). F5 tornadoes are considered to be the most powerful and destructive, capable of causing catastrophic damage.

The strong wind in a tornado is the source of its destructive potential.

In most cases the intensity of a tornado is never actually measured. Tornadoes are rated based on the severity of the damage they cause. Mobile Doppler radar can measure wind speeds in a tornado, but since such radar cannot measure ground-level winds the measurements are not used in ratings.

It may depend on the deck, but generally, no. Some decks could be moved even by a weak tornado, potentially crushing anyone underneath. The higher the deck is off the ground, the less protection it offers. It is best to be underground or, if that is not an option, in an interior windowless room, closet, or hallway

It is impossible to make such predictions for any specific location a day in advance; such predictions can only be made on a time scale of minutes. For the tornado outbreak of April 9, 2015, tornadoes were reported not far from Peoria, but it does not appear that Peoria itself was hit.

Farmers on the interior plains often build storm cellars or underground shelters to protect themselves from tornadoes. These structures provide a safe place to take cover during severe weather events. Additionally, some farmers may invest in reinforced buildings or safe rooms to enhance their protection from tornadoes.

A tornado's central pressure is lower than the surroundings. In a strong tornado it may be 50 to 100 millibars lower. The actual pressure will, of course, depend on what the pressure of the surroundings are, which can vary with elevation and the tornado's parent storm system.

Generally, none. Tornadoes can destroy vegetation and man-made structures, but they rarely do anything to the land itself. In extremely cases the very strongest of tornadoes may remove a few inches to a couple feet of soil, but nothing more than that.

No, it is not a good idea to open your windows during a tornado. Doing so could increase the likelihood of debris entering your home and causing damage or injury. It is better to seek shelter in a safe, interior room away from windows.

The most common material in early African art that has survived to the present time is terracotta. Terracotta sculptures and figurines have been found in various regions of Africa and are known for their intricate details and craftsmanship. These artifacts provide insights into the artistic practices and cultural traditions of ancient African civilizations.

Cumulonimbus clouds, the clouds of thunderstorms. A tornado is a product of a thunderstorm and descends to the ground from the base of a cumulonimbus. A hurricane is a storm system composed of many thunderstorms, and therefore contains many cumulonimbus clouds.

It varies considerably from one year to the next. While the average over the past 23 years is about 45 per year, it has ranged from a low of 12 to a high of 109.
