Tornado

Tornados are an extremely interesting phenomenon. These natural disasters need a series of very precise activities to occur in order to materialize. For a tornado to form, it needs the same events as in a thunderstorm to occur. First a wind shear needs to take place; this is when two opposing gusts of wind on different levels make a horizontal vortex. One section of the vortex will rise because of the buoyant warm air, creating a storm. After this a supercell can form; a supercell happens when upper-level

To form a tornado the atmosphere needs to create an “instability.” The air closest to the ground will be warm, humid, and have south facing winds. In the upper atmosphere, the air will be cold with west or southwest facing winds. These two components in the upper and lower atmosphere together create the atmospheric instability. Another key component to form a tornado is wind shear. Wind shear is the change in wind speed and direction of wind while the warmer and cooler air are chasing each other

A tornado is a column of wind that is rotating around. It is part of the storm that is occurring in that area. When it descends to the ground, that part of the storm is called a tornado. Tornadoes can be very strong, going as fast as 300 miles per hour. With these strong winds, it is capable of damaging many things such as buildings, cars, plants, etc. These storms are dangerous, killing a bunch of people in their path. It has been said that around 1,000 of tornadoes have been reported each year

about tornadoes because Dorothy from “The Wizard Of Oz” got sucked up in one. The force of the tornado in the movie was easy to see. Tornadoes don’t just occur in movies, they also happen in the central US, Southwest, Australia, The Gulf Of Mexico, the Midwest, and the Great Plains. They happen in these places because those areas are flat and wide (ustornado.com). Additionally, tornadoes arise in Tornado Alley. Tornadoes appear in these places because the areas are very open. When cold, dry air and

come from thunderstorms. You need warm moist air and warm dry air. When the two airs mix it causes a tornado. Changes in the wind direction will cause the tornado to speed up. Locations that are prone to tornadoes Tornado Alley, which is a wide range of states that include of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, eastern Colaroda, and South Dakota. Picture The Tri State Tornado March 18, 1925. The tornado ripped though Missouri, Illinois, and Indaina. It killed almost 700 people and injured 13,000 people

There's a strong natural weather phenomenon in the world. Do you know what is that? That is a tornado and it is a turbulent air column. (Conserve Energy Future, 2013) When you saw it, it is shaped like a funnel. Now you can probably know what a tornado is. I am going to tell you more about how tornadoes are formed. First, tornados are formed by plenty of supercells. Actually, supercells are a huge cluster of thunderstorm clouds. In other words, heat rises up as it has a low vapor pressure and cold

There are also different types of tornadoes which are classified as: Land Spout- which is a tornado on land Water Spout- tornados that will form over water Gustnado- small tornadoes caused by a strong downburst of wind from a thunderstorm. Tornadoes cause a lot of damage making communities and volunteers to help rebuild from the damages the volcano left, also tornadoes are dangerous since they can change directions suddenly at a high speed of 290 MPs making these not have a certain direction once

This paragraph is about Hurricane’s, Tornados and what they have in common. If you’ve seen a hurricane you know they do a lot of damage which one do you think does more damage? They both cause great pain and suffering for families. Both can cause a great deal of damage to homes or other buildings. Tornados To begin, Tornados occur all over the world but they most occur in a North America. There are about 1300 Tornados that hit homes causing despair in its path. These storms mostly in happen in

Administration (NOAA), 2011 tornado statistics broke the record for greatest number of tornadoes in a single month in April 2011 with a total number of 758 tornadoes and the greatest daily total of 200. The outbreak of the tornadoes caused 360 people to be killed during the entire month of April 2011. Even though the tornado forecast method has been significantly improved, it did not stop the incredible outbreaks of tornadoes that happened. In May 2011, it was U.S history worst tornado outbreaks in six decades

Tornadoes 　　Most of the time tornadoes are caused when thunder storms occur. When a tornado forms its because warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool dry air from Canada meet and create instability in the atmosphere. 　　The Fujita Scale classifies the damages that tornadoes cause. Most fall into the F1 category which is moderate damage but they can be much more severe. They can reach speeds of 73-112 miles per hour which can turn over vehicles, tear the roof off or completely demolish houses
