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.

Tornado is a violently rotating columns of air that extent form thunderstorm to the ground.
It is also called twister .
it can take various shape with the wind direction.
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.
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.
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 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.
Tornadoes are powerful rotating columns of air that form during severe thunderstorms. They most commonly occur in a region of the central United States known as "Tornado Alley". Tornadoes can cause extensive damage by killing and injuring people, destroying property, and removing soil. While tornado watches and warnings aim to protect lives, the unpredictability of tornadoes makes them difficult to fully prepare for or prevent. More advanced prediction systems and continued research on tornado formation and impacts could help mitigate their damage.

Tornadoes form when warm, humid air collides with cool, dry air, causing instability in the atmosphere and a spinning wind. They appear as a funnel-shaped cloud that can be over a mile wide and 50 miles long, with winds reaching 300 mph. Tornadoes most commonly occur in the central US between March and May. While they can cause significant damage and an average of 80 deaths per year in the US, building giant walls may help reduce but not eliminate tornadoes in high-risk areas, though the project would be very costly.
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.

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.
A tornado is a rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Most tornadoes have wind speeds between 40-110 mph but the strongest can exceed 300 mph. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms called supercells that contain rotating updrafts. As rain drags down rotating air, a funnel cloud may form and touch down as a tornado. Tornadoes grow strongest as they receive warm air but then weaken as surrounding winds cut off the supply, causing the tornado to dissipate.
Tornadoes are relatively small, localized low-pressure areas associated with powerful thunderstorms under cumulonimbus clouds. They typically have a diameter of 820 feet and whirling winds of 150 mph. Most tornadoes rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. Tornadoes form when a vortex touches the ground and cloud base. They most commonly occur with fast-moving cold fronts in the central US, drawing warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico north and west. While damage from tornadoes can be severe, meteorologists are improving forecasting and detection methods like Doppler radar to better predict and track 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.
This PowerPoint presentation teaches 3rd to 5th grade students about tornadoes. It defines tornadoes, explains how they form due to differing wind speeds at different altitudes, and describes how they are rated on the Fujita scale based on wind speed and damage. The presentation notes that tornadoes can reach speeds up to 300 mph and have paths up to a mile wide and 50 miles long. It includes fun facts about tornadoes and recommends taking shelter in an interior room without windows if one occurs. Students are instructed to take a 10 question quiz after viewing the presentation to test their understanding.
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 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.
Natural disasters are major events that can damage the land or threaten human lives. They include volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, cyclones, avalanches, floods, droughts, and forest fires. Volcanic eruptions occur when gas, ash, and molten rock burst from openings in the Earth's crust due to underground pressure. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates deep below the surface. Cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes are powerful rotating storms with high winds that can destroy buildings and uproot trees.
The document summarizes key information about tornadoes including their formation, characteristics, warning signs, safety precautions, and common myths. It discusses how tornadoes form due to collisions of warm and cold air masses. They can have wind speeds over 300 mph and occur most frequently in the late afternoon and evening in tornado alley states. The document outlines safety procedures during tornadoes and emphasizes that underground shelters are the safest location to ride out a tornado.
1. The document defines various natural hazards and disasters including storms, droughts, floods, earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis.
2. It provides details on the types of storms such as blizzards, cyclones, and thunderstorms. It also defines drought as a long period with little or no rain.
3. The causes and features of different types of earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, wildfires, and volcanic eruptions are summarized. Hazards associated with volcanic eruptions like pyroclastic flows, gases, and lahars are also noted.
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. They form when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating instability. Rising air can tilt the rotating air vertically, forming a funnel cloud. The strongest tornadoes can rip buildings off their foundations and deform skyscrapers. Doppler radar is now used to detect tornadoes by identifying rotation in storms from over 100 miles away, helping provide early warnings.
Tornadoes form from funnel clouds extending from cumulonimbus clouds and are most common in the central United States, known as Tornado Alley. They can cause catastrophic damage as seen in Moore, Oklahoma in 2013 and Joplin, Missouri in 2011, resulting in deaths, injuries, and property destruction. While building codes and warning systems have improved safety, tornadoes will continue to be a threat due to their unpredictable nature.
This document defines and describes different types of natural disasters:
Volcanic eruptions occur when pressure builds up inside the Earth, forcing molten rock and gas out of openings in the crust. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates deep underground, sending shock waves to the surface. Cyclones/hurricanes are large rotating storms that form over warm ocean waters and bring high winds and flooding rains inland. Other natural disasters mentioned include avalanches, floods, droughts, and forest/bush fires. Each hazard is briefly explained in terms of its causes and impacts.
The document is a collection of images and definitions related to various topics such as artists, blending colors, drawing, and modes of transportation. Photos are provided with captions explaining terms like artist, blend, draw, subway, and sombrero. Definitions are given for some of the terms such as artist, blend, draw, subway, and sombrero. The collection appears to be examples for learning vocabulary words.
This document defines key geographic concepts including map symbols like legends, compasses, and scales. It also defines locations on Earth like continents, hemispheres, poles, and lines of latitude and longitude. Additional terms defined are landforms, bodies of water, climates, human settlements, political divisions, and more. The document provides students with foundational geographic vocabulary.

Here are a few key points about using PHPUnit for Selenium testing:
- PHPUnit provides a SeleniumTestCase class that allows you to write Selenium tests that extend it. This gives you access to Selenium commands like open(), type(), click(), assertTitle(), etc.
- You'll need to have Selenium Server and a supported browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE) installed to run the tests.
- Tests using SeleniumTestCase are more like integration/acceptance tests that simulate user interactions and verify page content rather than isolated unit tests.
- Common things to test include page titles, form submissions, link navigation, page content validation after actions.
- Selenium IDE can be used to record tests that can be exported to PHPUnit

S6E4b Relate unequal heating of land and water surfaces to form large global wind systems and weather events such as tornados and thunderstorms.c Relate how moisture evaporating from the oceans affects the weather patterns and weather events such as hurricanes
This document defines and provides the pronunciation for several types of natural disasters: avalanche, hurricane, cyclone, earthquake, tsunami, tornado, forest fire, blizzard, drought, flood, and monsoon. It explains that an avalanche is a large mass of snow falling down a mountain, a hurricane is an extremely violent wind or storm, and a cyclone is a violent tropical storm where the air goes round and round. Earthquakes cause the ground to shake, tsunamis are huge waves caused by earthquakes that flow onto land, and tornadoes are tall columns of air spinning very fast. Forest fires are big fires that can destroy trees and houses, blizzards are very bad storms with snow and strong winds
This document provides information about three types of severe weather associated with cumulonimbus clouds: thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. It examines how each forms from different lifting mechanisms in the atmosphere and discusses their characteristics. Thunderstorms form from warm, moist air that is lifted violently by cold fronts. Tornadoes are rotating columns of air that form from wind shear. Hurricanes are intense rotating storms that form over tropical oceans from converging winds and require warm ocean waters to strengthen. The document outlines the damage potential of each, including lightning, hail, strong winds, and flooding from thunderstorms; winds and rotation from tornadoes; and winds, storm surge, and inland flooding from hurricanes.
This document is a 3-page PowerPoint presentation about thunderstorms created by Tanya Emelander for a spring 2009 class. It defines thunderstorms and their key components of clouds, rain, lightning, and thunder. It explains what causes thunderstorms and describes different types of clouds like cirrus, altostratus, cumulus, and nimbostratus. The presentation includes images and details about lightning, thunder, and how to estimate the distance of lightning using sound. Resources for learning more about weather are provided at the end.
Hurricanes are intense tropical cyclones with sustained wind speeds of at least 74 mph. They form in warm ocean waters and are called typhoons in the Eastern Pacific and cyclones in the Indian Ocean. Hurricanes span from less than 100 miles to over 500 miles in diameter and have an eye at the center. They are ranked on the Saffir-Simpson scale from 1 to 5 based on wind speed, with category 5 being the strongest. The two main causes of death from hurricanes in the US are freshwater flooding and storm surge worldwide. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with most storms occurring in September. Some notable hurricanes to impact the area include the 1944 Great Atlantic Hurricane, Haz

This document provides information about various natural disasters including avalanches, earthquakes, hurricanes, landslides, thunderstorms, tornados, tsunamis, and volcanoes. For each disaster, it describes the causes, characteristics, and impacts. It also includes additional resources such as websites, images, and videos related to natural disasters. The author is a 19-year-old college student studying elementary education with a focus on integrated science.
A volcanic eruption can create billowy surfaces from thin, hot lava. It can leave craters and cover the surrounding area with jagged cinders and ash. Magma pushes up from underneath the earth's crust and erupts as molten lava or explodes from the volcano's summit, raining fiery debris.
Volcanoes can be summarized in 3 sentences:
Volcanoes form when magma pushes up through cracks in the Earth's crust, bursting out as lava or exploding into the air. Powerful eruptions can blast rock and ash high into the sky, leaving behind a crater at the summit and coating the surrounding area with billowy flows of molten rock or jagged cinders. The molten rock cools and hardens over time into new landforms that are gradually weathered by wind and rain.
The document discusses extreme weather events like tornadoes and hurricanes. It describes how tornadoes form from thunderstorms and can range from weak F0 tornadoes to incredibly strong F5 tornadoes. The largest tornado on record was the 1925 Tri-State Tornado that traveled 219 miles across multiple states with winds over 300 mph. Tornadoes are most likely in the central US. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and can have winds up to 175 mph, with the strongest recorded being Hurricane Wilma. Hurricanes often impact the US east coast and Gulf Coast.

This document provides definitions and descriptions of various natural disasters. It discusses avalanches, blizzards, earthquakes, hailstorms, hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcanoes, wildfires and their causes and impacts. For each disaster, it outlines key details like definition, formation process, areas affected, dangers posed, frequency and methods to mitigate risks. The document serves as an informative reference on the major natural hazards that occur worldwide.
Hurricane Sandy destroyed much of the East Coast of the United States, requiring extensive cleanup efforts. Tornados can reach speeds of 300 mph and be 50 miles long, uprooting trees and destroying large buildings. A tsunami is a series of sea waves caused by underwater earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. Tropical cyclones form over oceans near the equator and can have devastating impacts. Heat waves pose health risks like sunburn and blistering from their high temperatures.
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Most tornadoes are less than 250 feet wide and travel only a few miles before dissipating, but the strongest can be over 2 miles wide and stay on the ground for over 100 km. Tornadoes form most frequently in the central United States, but can occur almost anywhere worldwide. They are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale based on the damage caused, from EF0 with light damage to EF5 with total destruction.
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.
This document provides information about different types of weather and storms. It discusses temperature, precipitation, wind, visibility and clouds as factors that describe weather. Various weather phenomena are described such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and winter storms. Thunderstorms form from warm humid air that rises rapidly to form thunderclouds, producing heavy rain and sometimes hail or lightning from the movement of positive and negative charges. Tornadoes are rapidly spinning funnel clouds. Hurricanes are tropical cyclones with high winds that can cause flooding from heavy rain and storm surge. Winter storms bring heavy snow and cold temperatures. Safety tips are provided for different storm conditions.
This document discusses the top 11 natural disasters: landslides, floods, thunderstorms, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, and avalanches. It provides details on the causes and impacts of each type of disaster, with landslides defined as the movement of land down a slope by gravity, floods caused by excessive rainfall, and tsunamis generated by displacement of large bodies of water. The document aims to raise awareness of natural hazards and inform readers on disaster preparedness.
Group 7's presentation was about thunderstorms. It defined thunderstorms, explained how they form through 3 stages (cumulus, mature, dissipating), and described the main types (orographic, air mass, frontal). It covered key characteristics like lightning, thunder, heavy rainfall, strong winds. Both positive impacts like natural rainfall and nitrogen fixation, and negative ones like lightning hazards, hail damage, tornadoes, and rainfall floods were discussed. The presentation ended with thunderstorm safety tips.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of natural disasters. It explains that natural disasters are major changes in the environment caused by weather or geological events that can damage land and threaten lives. The document then lists and briefly describes several specific natural disasters: volcanic eruptions caused by pressure below the Earth's surface; earthquakes from movement of tectonic plates; cyclones/hurricanes that bring high winds and flooding; avalanches that move snow and rock rapidly down mountains; floods from overflowing rivers and coastal flooding; droughts characterized by extended lack of rain; and forest/bush fires ignited by lightning or human carelessness.
The document discusses different types of natural disasters:
1) Natural disasters include geologic events like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and tsunamis that can cause loss of life and property damage.
2) Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are specifically examined, with earthquakes measured by magnitude and volcanoes causing destruction through eruption, lava, ash, and mudflows.
3) Other natural disasters mentioned include blizzards, cyclonic storms like hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, tornadoes, which can all have severe impacts on populations and economies depending on their strength and location.
The document discusses the key elements that affect weather such as clouds, precipitation, and temperature. It describes different types of clouds like cirrus, cumulus, and stratus clouds and how they indicate upcoming weather conditions. Instruments used to measure weather like rain gauges and anemometers are also covered. The Philippines' weather monitoring agency PAGASA is mentioned as observing conditions and issuing warnings. Weather forecasting aims to help people prepare for changing conditions.
