Tornadoes and Their Destructive Ways What makes tornadoes and their destruction interesting to people? Is it the variety in formations, the miles one can travel, the random paths it takes, the changes tornadoes can make on climate and the formation of the land or is it because tornadoes often leave behind a path of destruction and deaths? In this paper, I will discuss what tornadoes are and how they form, what different forms of tornadoes there are, what tornado watches and warning are and give examples
A tornado is a very complex and complicated type of outdoor vacuum. The various types of tornadoes are caused when a great size of particles become part of cloud and start releasing heat rapidly which makes it rise and create a vacuum underneath it. The air that quickly goes into the vacuum creates the center of the tornado or the tornadoes vortex. Then when the air temperature changes it causes a sudden drop in the air pressure. When the heat is being released in the vacuum it causes precipitation
WHAT CAUSES A TORNADO AND THE EFFECT THEY HAVE What causes a tornado and the effect they have J.D. Busby Jr American Intercontinental University September 12, 2010 WHAT CAUSES A TORNADO AND THE EFFECT THEY HAVE ABSTRACT Reading this paper will give you a better understanding of what causes a tornado and the shear destructive power of tornadoes. It will also touch on some of the safety precaution involved in a tornado from sirens to getting to safety. So what does cause a tornado and
Grand Island, or know someone who has experienced a tornado first hand. Even though I have been living in Nebraska my entire life I still do not understand exactly how a tornado forms or what ingredients are needed in order to make a tornado form. In this paper that is exactly what we will look at, how a tornado is formed. We will look at the conditions needed for tornado formation, how tornadoes are formed out of supercells, and finally what spotters look for when chasing tornadoes. The conditions
Whats a tornado’s favorite game? Twister! Tornadoes cause a lot of damage, because they have high wind speeds, kill and injure people, cover large amounts of land, they can mix with wild fire to cause firenadoes, and they are on the ground so they are close to people and structures. Tornadoes happen most often in the spring time, which is why it is called tornado season. Tornado Alley is where the most tornadoes happen annually. Tornado Alley includes Oklahoma, Kansas, the Texas Panhandle,
I would like to start out by what we know about tornados and outbreaks, and what is said to be the cause of such catastrophic events, such as the outbreak that occurred November 17th in the Midwestern, portion of the United States. Tornado outbreaks occur when there are multiple tornados that are said to be produced by the same weather system. The classification of an outbreak can vary depending on interpretation. It is said that in order to be classified as a “tornado outbreak” there must be a certain
transformed a city called Waco, Texas known as 1953 Waco Tornado. In 1953, the Waco tornado was part of a tornado outbreak sequence with a series of at least 33 tornadoes occurring in 10 different U.S. between May 9-11, 1953. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) a research meteorologist from Texas A&M University picked up an isolated comma-shaped echo on his radar screen about an hour before the tornado struck Waco, Texas. The researcher was unfamiliar with the
A tornado is a viscous and possibly deadly occurrence in our weather that can happen at any time or any place around the world with almost no warning. I reside in the panhandle of Florida where we have hurricanes and tornadoes. Weather forecasters can give people enough warning that they can prepare and/or leave in the event of a hurricane, however a tornado is much different. Hurricanes present favorable weather conditions for tornadoes, as well as normal, everyday, rainy weather patterns
to inform people on the importance and demographics of tornadoes. While doing research I discovered that a tornado is a narrow, rotating column of air which rotates violently and extends from the bottom of a thunderstorm to the ground (NOAA, 2014). The winds are so violent that they can destroy entire houses and buildings. You cannot see wind, sometimes this makes it impossible to see a tornado because they are started from wind. They become visible when they form a condensation funnel from water droplets
cool experiment with vegetables!” Mrs Lake heard Megan. Corvida Bratleigh heard Megan. The entire class heard Megan! Then they all heard Amphia Lake. “Megan Fayreweather! Detention!” Hannah mouthed, “Sorry,” to Megan. Corvida sat thinking about what she had heard—experiment with vegetables— her nose turned up with a satisfied smirk on her face. Corvida Bratleigh made it her mission to get Megan into trouble. One day, when Amphia Lake had her back to the class, Corvida dropped Megan’s book loudly
