What Is Tornado (photo, Video) by Peter4naz(m): 11:04pm On May 28, 2018 |
A Tornado is a tube of violently spinning air that
touches the ground . Wind inside the tornado spins
fast, but the actual 'circle' of wind around them is huge.
This makes tornadoes very dangerous. Tornadoes are
especially dangerous to people in cars or mobile homes
and about 60 people are killed by tornadoes every year.
Tornadoes are devastating as they can cause significant
injury and death. Tornadoes can tear through houses
and often leave people homeless. Tornadoes can be
caused by winds that have been going opposite
directions with moist air meet as well as hurricanes.
Nearly 3 Quarters of the worlds Tornadoes takes place
in the US. Tornadoes mostly happen during strong
thunderstorms called super cell storms. They cause a lot
of damage to anything in their path. Tornadoes are
ranked on the Fujita scale , from F0 to F5 . F0 for
tornados that caused the least damage, and F5
for the ones that caused the most. Tornadoes can
happen in nearly any part of the world. In the United
States , a tornado has happened in all states. The
middle part of the United States is nicknamed 'Tornado
Alley' for the number of tornadoes there. A tornado can
have wind speeds of over 300 miles per hour (480 km/
h). Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than 110
miles per hour (180 km/h), are about 250 feet (80 m)
across and travel a few miles before disappearing. Other
tornado-like phenomena that exist in nature include the
gustnado, dust devil, fire whirls, and steam devil;
downbursts are frequently confused with tornadoes,
though their action is not similar.
