Tornados are powerful vortexes that form from storm clouds and touch down from the cloud with a narrow end, whipping at speeds up to 110 mph. They can destroy homes, uproot trees, and endanger people as they rip through an area with rain and wind. Tornados begin as clouds which then shoot down a vortex when warm air hits the cloud, forming the spinning tornado. One example is the 1999 Salt Lake City tornado that injured 80 people and damaged a building, disproving ideas that tornadoes can't happen in some regions.

Severe Weather
Tornadoes form from strong storm clouds called supercells. There are different types of tornadoes such as waterspouts, land spouts, and multiple vortex tornadoes. A tornado is formed when warm and cold air meet, moving in different directions at different speeds, creating a wall cloud that can spawn a tornado spinning at 35 mph or more. Tornadoes most commonly occur in Tornado Alley in the Great Plains of the US, where over 500 tornadoes are reported each year. The deadliest tornado in US history was the 1925 Tri-State Tornado, which killed 695 people as it traveled through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
Thunderstorms Abby
Thunderstorms form from cumulonimbus clouds when there is lift, unstable air, and moisture present. They contain lightning, which is an electric current that travels between the cloud and ground, and thunder, which is the sound caused by lightning. Thunderstorms can cause damage through floods, fires started by lightning, and dents to cars from hail. While they occur frequently around the world, thunderstorms present dangers and it is important to take safety precautions such as going indoors and avoiding contact with others if struck by lightning.

Tornadoes!
Tornadoes form after clouds darken and a funnel forms within minutes. Strong tornadoes can reach over 300 mph and suck up anything in their path, dropping debris after the tornado passes. While smaller tornadoes, known as sisters of tornadoes, are less powerful than main tornadoes they can still be dangerous and carry objects like cars. Tornadoes are rated on the Fujita scale from F1 to F5 based on damage caused, with F5 being the most severe and destructive.
Tornado disaster management
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. There are several types of tornadoes, including waterspouts that form over water, gustnadoes that are short-lived and do not connect to the cloud base, and multi-vortex tornadoes that have multiple rotating vortices around the main vortex. Landspouts are similar to waterspouts but form over land. Tornadoes occur most frequently in the central United States, known as Tornado Alley. The Enhanced Fujita Scale is used to rate tornado strength based on wind speeds and damage caused.
Natural Disasters
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. They form where warm moist air meets cold dry air and can reach wind speeds over 300 mph. Most tornadoes last less than 10 minutes and cause extreme damage due to their high winds.
Tornadoes
Tornadoes form from severe thunderstorms called supercells. As wind swirls into the storm, a funnel forms that spins faster and faster, sucking more air and objects into its extremely low pressure area. Tornadoes can destroy houses, throw objects high into the sky, and rip apart everything in their paths as they touch down across parts of the central US, especially in an area called Tornado Alley. Different types of tornadoes include supercell tornadoes, dust devils, firewhirls, gustnadoes, landspouts, and waterspouts.

Tornado
The document discusses different aspects of tornadoes including their characteristics, formation, types, and effects. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air. They are most common in the central US and occur most often in the spring and summer months. While usually short-lived, tornadoes can be extremely destructive and have caused thousands of deaths worldwide.
Tornadoes
The document discusses tornadoes, including how they form and where they typically occur. It notes that tornadoes form when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating instability and rotation. The rotating air can become vertical, forming a tornado. Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms to the ground and can cause massive destruction. On average, around 1,000 tornadoes are reported in the US each year. Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere but are more common in places like North America, Europe, and Australia.
Tornadoes
Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms to the ground, with some capable of wind speeds over 300 mph. They typically form when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating instability and a change in wind direction and speed that causes horizontal spinning to become vertical. Most strong tornadoes develop within the rotating air extending through the storm. On average, around 1000 tornadoes occur each year in the USA, lasting only a few minutes most often between 3-9pm, with three out of four occurring in the USA. A water spout is essentially a tornado that forms over water.
Tornadoes
Tornadoes are rotating columns of air attached to thunderstorms that can reach the ground. They occur most frequently in the central US between March and August. Tornado wind speeds can exceed 300 mph and they can be over a mile wide. The damage and strength of tornadoes is measured using the Fujita scale, ranging from F0 to F5. Over the past 70 years in the US, tornadoes have caused over $25 billion in damage and injured or killed over 80,000 people.
Tornado
Tornados are violently destructive columns of air that form over land in the shape of a funnel. They typically have wind speeds between 64-177 km/h and stretch over 75m across. Different types of tornados include supercell tornados, landspouts, firewhirls, gustnados, and waterspouts. Tornadoes form when warm moist air collides with cold dry air, creating a whirling wind that draws air into its center to form a funnel. Weather services issue tornado watches when conditions are right for tornadoes and tornado warnings when a tornado has been sighted on radar or visually. Tornados can cause significant damage and loss of life.
Tornados -Joanna
Tornados can cause destruction and death. Several states including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and South Dakota are prone to tornados and known as Tornado Alley. Tornados form when hot and cold air collide, creating a large funnel. Storm shutters can prevent glass from shattering during a tornado, and evacuating to safer ground is important for protection.
HUMANITIES YEAR 9: TORNADOES
Tornadoes form from the contact between a cumulonimbus cloud and the earth's surface. They come in different shapes but most resemble a condensation funnel. Most tornadoes have wind speeds of 180 km/h but some can exceed 480 km/h. There are different types of tornadoes classified by characteristics like waterspouts over water, landspouts which are typically weaker than traditional tornadoes, and multiple vortex tornadoes with two or more spinning columns. It is a misconception that certain areas are protected from tornadoes or that opening windows will prevent damage from pressure drops during a tornado.
Tornadoes
Tornadoes form from thunderstorms when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating instability. A change in wind direction and increasing speed with height causes horizontal spinning in the lower atmosphere. Most tornadoes form in an area of the central US known as "Tornado Alley" from Texas to Illinois, where conditions are optimal for tornado formation. Tornadoes can occur any time of year but peak seasons are March-May in the South and summer in the North, with a secondary peak in the South in fall.

Presentation on natural disaster - avalanche
This document discusses natural disasters and focuses on avalanches. It defines an avalanche as a rapid movement of snow down a slope due to structural weakness in the snow cover. There are three main types of avalanches: loose avalanches which can occur with little warning; slab avalanches, the most commonly occurring type, often started by human error; and slush avalanches which usually occur later in the season. Avalanches are caused by layers of snow building up strength and then a vibration or temperature change causes the snow to slide down the mountain. Avalanches pose deadly risks by trapping and killing people under the snow and damaging infrastructure.
ramana tornado
Tornadoes are localized, violently destructive windstorms characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud extending to the ground. They most commonly occur in the central United States, forming from thunderstorms when hot and cold air mix. Tornadoes can be classified as either water-supported or land-supported, with land-supported tornadoes causing more damage upon contact with the ground. Tornadoes pose serious risks, as they are capable of causing significant property damage, injuries, and loss of human life.
5 Tornados Intro
Tornados form from rotating columns of air that descend from cumulonimbus clouds and touch the ground. They range from 100 meters to 1.6 kilometers in diameter and can travel over 100 kilometers. Tornados primarily form in the central United States due to clashes between warm and cold air masses. They are hazardous because of their unpredictable nature and ability to cause severe damage to people and property quickly. Humans have developed warning systems and the enhanced Fujita scale to measure tornado intensity to help respond to the tornado hazard.
Tornadoes
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Most tornadoes have wind speeds under 110 mph and dissipate after traveling a short distance. During storms, warm air rises while cold air sinks, causing the warm air to twist into a funnel-shaped spiral. Wall clouds are large cloud formations that often precede tornado formation. The deadliest tornadoes have caused hundreds of deaths and billions in damage, like the Joplin, Missouri tornado of 2011. Tornado Alley in the central US has the highest frequency of tornadoes. Doppler radar and other technologies help forecasters monitor conditions for potential tornado development.
GEOG101 Tornado Presentation
The document discusses tornadoes and provides information about their formation, location, and characteristics. Tornadoes form from warm moist air interacting with cold air masses. They most commonly occur in the central US, known as Tornado Alley. Tornadoes are still not fully understood as their behavior can be unpredictable, sometimes dissipating suddenly or combining with other tornadoes. The document also provides historical facts about significant tornadoes and discusses what can be done to improve warnings and shelter from these dangerous storms.
tornado
Tornadoes form when warm, humid air meets cooler air, causing the warm air to rise rapidly and begin to spin. The document discusses two famous tornadoes - the 1899 tornado in New Richmond, Wisconsin that was 3,000 feet long and 1,000 feet wide and killed 26 people from different families, and tornadoes can vary in size and duration, with some being more destructive than others by lifting cars, damaging property over 50 miles, and causing rain.
Tornadoes
A tornado is a funnel-shaped cloud that sometimes touches the ground, destroying everything in its path. Tornadoes form from powerful thunderstorms called supercell clouds and can have wind speeds over 400 mph. They most commonly occur during the spring and summer months in parts of the United States.
Holly's Tornado Presentation
Tornadoes are powerful rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms to the ground. The most violent tornadoes can have wind speeds over 300 mph and are capable of massive destruction by destroying large buildings, uprooting trees, and hurling vehicles long distances. Tornadoes form most commonly in the central United States when warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cool, dry air from Canada, creating an unstable atmosphere with changes in wind speed and direction that can cause spinning columns of air to form.
Natural Disaters
This document discusses various natural disasters including avalanches, floods, earthquakes, tornados, volcanoes, hurricanes, wildfires, tsunamis. It provides brief definitions and descriptions of each type of natural disaster, noting that they can cause significant damage but are natural occurrences beyond full human control. Natural disasters discussed include landslides, storms, seismic events, and fires.
Tornadoes and tsunamis!!
Tornado Alley in the central United States experiences the most frequent tornadoes, with the strongest categorized as F5 tornadoes. Tsunamis are large sea waves typically caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions that can grow very tall as they reach shallow coastal waters, posing a threat to coastal regions that aim to warn residents and allow time to evacuate with tsunami warning systems. The document provided pictures and facts about tornadoes and tsunamis.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters and contain heavy rain, strong winds, and storm surges. They rotate counter-clockwise around an eye and require winds of at least 74 mph to form. Hurricane Katrina was the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history, causing massive damage when it made landfall in New Orleans in 2005 and flooding the city after levees failed, leaving over 100,000 people still in the city. It resulted in thousands of deaths and widespread destruction across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

While the exact formation of tornadoes is not fully understood, they typically form from rotating thunderstorm clouds called supercells.
Hurricane Hugo
Hurricane Hugo was a category 5 hurricane that formed over warm Atlantic waters near the equator. It destroyed almost everything in its path, putting people and cities in great danger, and causing millions in damage and repair costs from its strong winds and ability to knock down trees and destroy buildings. Hugo was one of the worst and most dangerous storms ever, with wind speeds over 120 miles per hour, and it was responsible for 82 deaths when it hit South Carolina in September 1989.

Hurricanes
A hurricane is a large, swirling storm that forms over warm ocean waters near the equator. It features high winds and heavy rain that can cause catastrophic damage. When viewed from above, a hurricane looks like a large white vortex with a clear eye at the center. Hurricanes develop from rising warm, moist air that causes surrounding air to swirl inward and feed the growing storm. As they make landfall, hurricanes can rip off roofs, destroy homes and property, and lead to flooding and loss of life.
ExtREMe thundER STOrm
The document discusses thunderstorms and provides details about their formation and characteristics. It describes how thunderstorms look with dark clouds and lightning striking in zigzags. The rain falls heavily, feeling like rocks on the roof. Thunderstorms form as cumulus clouds develop and air masses cool and vaporize, condensing into raindrops before lightning and thunder occur. The worst thunderstorm on record for the city of Kobe killed 4 people.
Blizzards
1) Blizzards form when cold, moist air rises and meets warm air, creating clouds and precipitation like snow.
2) Blizzards can cause power outages by burying power lines, and trap people in their homes and bury vehicles and buildings under heavy snowfall.
3) To be classified as a blizzard, winds must reach 35 mph or higher and precipitation such as snow must be falling, bringing visibility down to less than 1/4 mile. Famous blizzards include the 2007 Saskatchewan blizzard which shut down all power in the region.
Severe Weather
Hurricanes are large tropical storms with heavy winds that form over warm ocean waters. They require warm ocean temperatures of at least 79 degrees Fahrenheit, moisture from the sea evaporating into the warm air, and wind patterns near the ocean's surface that pull winds inward. Hurricanes can last up to 8 days and become very destructive at higher categories, with Category 5 being the strongest designation for a hurricane with sustained winds over 155 mph. Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 storm, caused massive damage of over $100 million and loss of over 1,800 lives when it struck New Orleans in August 2005.

Weather
Hurricane Katrina formed in the Bahamas in August 2005 and traveled across Florida, Cuba, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, killing at least 1,836 people. It was a large storm with winds up to 175 mph that formed from swirling clouds in the center and eliminated everything in its path over the course of 7 days, becoming one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
Blizzards
A blizzard is a snowstorm with winds over 56 km/h and temperatures below -10°C that lasts for at least 3 hours. Blizzards form when snowstorms collide with warm air and begin twisting, and they can accumulate over 3 feet of snow and cause damage like cracking roads and burying cars, which sometimes results in loss of life. Key factors for blizzards include wind speeds up to 35 mph and heavy snowfall that reduces visibility.
What Are Hurricanes
Hurricanes are powerful storms with heavy winds and rain, categorized from 1 to 5 based on wind speed and damage caused, with higher categories having the potential to destroy buildings and kill people. Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst hurricanes on record, killing over 1,800 people and causing $100 billion in damage as it hit several US states and islands in 2005 over the course of 8 days.
TORNADOES
Tornados are funnel-shaped clouds that touch the ground, can reach speeds up to 300 mph, and come in strength categories from F1 to F7. They form when winds at different heights blow in different directions and speeds, resulting in a funnel cloud that can demolish homes and throw people and animals miles away, causing injury or death.
Snow Storms
Snow storms occur when large amounts of snow fall from the sky. The snow swirls around in clouds during blizzards. After a snow storm, areas can be completely covered in snow. Snow storms can produce several inches of snow and cause disruptions to traffic and school transportation on roads made slick by the snowfall, especially in places that do not often receive heavy snow.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are low pressure tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters with winds of 74 mph or higher. They can be categorized from weak to strong and cause significant damage by destroying crops, buildings, and killing people and animals through high winds, flash floods, and contaminated water. Hurricane Hugo formed in September 1989 and caused $10 billion in damages as a powerful Category 5 hurricane when it hit South Carolina.

Tornadoes
Tornadoes form from storm clouds when hot and cold air mixes, creating a rapidly whirling funnel cloud that can touch down and cause extensive damage by ripping apart buildings, trees, cars, and homes with strong winds that vary in speed and direction with altitude. Tornadoes are rated on the Fujita scale from F1 to F5 based on the severity of damage caused, with an F5 being the most destructive.
Tornados
Tornados typically occur in the spring and can have wind speeds over 500 mph, high enough to destroy homes. They form when hot and cold air masses collide and spin, looking like twisting dirt. Tornados are very destructive storms that occur most often in springtime, killing over 100 people annually through high winds and property damage.
Severe Weather
Hurricane Ike was the third most destructive hurricane to make landfall in the United States, forming on September 1, 2008 off the coast of Africa and becoming a powerful Category 4 storm with winds up to 145 mph before dissipating on September 13, 2008. Ike caused over $32 billion in damage and was blamed for more than 195 lives lost, making it the third costliest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded. Hurricanes form when cold air passes over warm ocean water, causing moisture to rise and organize into a cylindrical storm system.
Blizzard
A blizzard forms when warm, moist air clashes with cold air, causing a thunderstorm that produces snow and high winds. Blizzards can be dangerous due to low visibility, freezing temperatures, and strong winds that cause damage and endanger lives. The worst blizzard on record was the Great Blizzard of 1888, which killed over 400 people and spanned March 11-14. A severe blizzard has temperatures below 10 degrees Fahrenheit, winds over 45 mph, visibility below 1/4 mile, and lasts at least 3 hours, with potential snowfall of 12.5 inches in 24 hours.

Ashley ray blizzards
A blizzard is a winter storm with winds over 56 km/h, heavy snowfall, and low visibility lasting more than 3 hours. Blizzards occur when cold air interacts with regions of low and high atmospheric pressure, bringing heavy snow and strong winds that can cause whiteout conditions, sickness, damage from falling trees and power lines, and dangers from hypothermia or frostbite. The Blizzard of 1888 was one of the worst blizzards in U.S. history, dumping over 40 inches of snow with winds over 45 mph across many Northeastern states and claiming over 400 lives.
Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms form when warm air mixes with cool air, causing precipitation like rain, hail, or sleet. Thunderstorms can cause damage through hail, heavy rain that results in flooding, and are accompanied by thunder and lightning. The document includes pictures of thunderstorms and discusses the key components of precipitation, hail, and rain that occur in a thunderstorm.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are intense, rotating oceanic storms that form over warm tropical waters and can have very strong winds up to 60 mph. They require warm ocean waters, atmospheric moisture from evaporation, and wind patterns near the surface to form. Famous Hurricane Hugo in 1989 was a category 5 hurricane with 140 mph winds that caused extensive damage as it traveled from the Virgin Islands to South Carolina over two weeks, destroying homes, cars, crops, and killing many people and animals. Hurricanes can cause major damage through strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding that can take weeks or months to clean up.
tornados
Tornadoes are rapidly spinning funnel clouds that reach from thunderstorm clouds to the ground, causing mass destruction with winds that can send cars flying and destroy homes and buildings. They form when hot and cold air masses collide and start circulating intensely, with the force eventually producing a funnel. Some of the most destructive tornadoes include the 1953 Flint Beecher tornado in Michigan, which killed over 100 people and injured 900 with 100 mph winds that destroyed 20 homes.
Tornadoes presentation
The document summarizes tornadoes, describing their funnel shape and varying colors depending on debris. Tornadoes form from rotating thunderstorms when cold and warm air masses collide. They can rip apart buildings, uproot trees, lift animals, and destroy entire cities within minutes. Wind speeds often exceed 300 miles per hour and tornadoes cause rain, hail, and sleet. Some notable tornadoes include the 1953 Waco, Texas tornado that was a third of a mile wide and destroyed 23 miles of land.
Blizzard
A blizzard forms when warm, moist air clashes with cold air, causing a thunderstorm that produces snow and high winds. Blizzards can be dangerous due to low visibility, freezing temperatures, and strong winds that cause damage and endanger lives. The worst blizzard on record was the Great Blizzard of 1888, which killed over 400 people and spanned March 11-14. A severe blizzard has temperatures below 10 degrees Fahrenheit, winds over 45 mph, visibility below 1/4 mile, and lasts at least 3 hours, with potential snowfall of 12.5 inches in 24 hours.
Hurricane
A hurricane floods towns and cities, demolishes buildings, destroys crops, kills people and animals, and causes thousands of dollars in damage as it moves counterclockwise. It forms over warm ocean waters as thunderstorms wrap around the center, gaining heat and wind speeds up to 130 miles per hour with intense rain and humidity. Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest and costliest hurricanes, hitting New Orleans in 2005 and flooding the entire city.
Weather
Rain forms when water evaporates into clouds, condenses into droplets, and precipitates down as rain. Hurricanes are strong winds formed by heat at the equator that can erode rocks and dirt to form hills and mountains. Both rain and hurricanes weather rocks through erosion, moving sediment and contributing to landscape changes over time.
Severe Storms
Hurricane Hugo hit Puerto Rico in the morning of September 17th, 1989 and then made landfall in South Carolina around midnight, causing significant damage as it moved through the state. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and contain heavy rain, strong winds that can reach 74-200 mph, and an eye of calm weather at the center. They start as tropical storms that grow stronger as heat and moisture rise within the storm system.
Hurricane Hugo
Hurricane Hugo was a powerful hurricane that hit South Carolina and other areas in 1889, destroying homes and buildings with its strong winds and heavy rain. The document describes how hurricanes form from tropical storms and develop a distinctive spiral shape with an inner eye of calm. Hurricane Hugo had maximum sustained winds of 160 miles per hour, making it a very fast and destructive storm, as recalled by the author's mother who experienced its impact in South Carolina.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are one of nature's most destructive forces. They can cause enormous damage through wind, flooding from storm surges and heavy rain, and other hazards like mudslides. Hurricane winds can reach speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters through a process where moist air rises, condenses into clouds and releases latent heat. Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Mississippi and Louisiana in August 2005, causing extensive damage and loss of life from high winds and catastrophic flooding.
Hurricane
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and gain strength from evaporation. They have powerful rotating winds around an eye and can cause dangerous storm surges and heavy rain that damage buildings, trees, and cars when making landfall. Hurricane Katrina formed in August 2005 and caused catastrophic damage when it struck the Gulf Coast of the United States.
Hurricane Charley
Hurricane Charley was a powerful hurricane that hit Florida in 2004. It made landfall as a Category 4 storm with winds up to 150 mph, causing extensive damage estimated at $16-19 billion. Over 150 people were killed and thousands more injured when Charley struck Florida as the strongest hurricane to hit the state since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. After forming in the Caribbean, Charley traveled through Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and Cuba before making its devastating landfall in Florida.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and require winds of at least 74 mph. They can last 1-12 days and cause significant damage through heavy rain, strong winds, and storm surges. Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005 as a category 3 storm, causing over 1,800 deaths and widespread destruction across New Orleans through flooding and property damage.
Hurricanes!!
Hurricanes form over warm tropical waters when cold and warm air masses collide, creating a large rotating storm with heavy winds and rain that can cause extensive damage as it makes landfall. They typically include an eye and surrounding rain bands and can spawn tornadoes, leaving many homeless or injured as seen with Hurricane Hugo, a category 5 storm that hit South Carolina in 1989, lasting over 4 hours and leaving 50,000 people homeless and multiple injuries.

- 1. TORNADOSBy DAVID EDWARDS Tornados are vortexes that touch the ground with the narrow end touches the earth
- 2. SOURCES http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/edu/safety/tornadoguide.html
- 3. What a tornado does A tornado is a cloud with a vortex it has rain to ,like other clouds it can go 100-110 miles per hour and can rip up houses ,trees ,and people ,also cars.
- 5. How they start Tornados start out as clouds then when a warm front comes and hits the cloud the cloud shoots down a vortex then it starts to become a tornado .
- 6. Tornados that happened Salt Lake City Tornado, August 11, 1999. This tornado disproved several myths, including the idea that tornadoes cannot occur in areas like Utah. The tornado injured 80 people and 1 facility
