This is a presentation on the names of some disasters and effects and precautions that are to be taken.
Thunderstorms
A brief description of thunderstorms, what causes them and a few examples of thunderstorms which have occurred in different places
Tornadoes
Tornadoes form when strong winds within thunderstorms cause water vapor in the air to condense into a funnel cloud. They range in severity from weak land spouts to catastrophic tornadoes over 300 mph wide. Storm chasers carefully study weather data to track conditions favorable for tornado formation and document tornadoes. Safety tips include seeking shelter in interior rooms on the lowest floor of sturdy buildings and protecting your head and body when a tornado threatens.
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.
Storms!
A storm occurs when there is disturbance in the atmosphere, such as thunderstorms which bring lightning, thunder, and sometimes tornadoes or hail. Other types of storms include blizzards which bring heavy snowfall, hurricanes which form over warm ocean waters and bring strong winds and rain, and floods which can result from heavy rainfall. It is important to monitor weather warnings and take shelter indoors during storms as they can be dangerous.
Tornado PowerPoint
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.
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.
Dki storms-full-guide
Violent weather like tornadoes and severe thunderstorms can be deadly, causing around 60 deaths, 1,500 injuries, and $400 million in damage annually in the US. A single historic tornado in 1925 killed nearly 700 people across several towns in Illinois. To increase chances of survival, these severe storms must be taken seriously. The document provides information on tornado watches versus warnings and safety measures to take before, during, and after severe weather strikes.

Tornado
Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air that extend between clouds and the ground. They can form when warm, moist air meets cold air, creating thunderstorms with the potential to produce tornadoes. Tornado strength is measured using the Enhanced Fujita Scale from EF0 to EF5 based on wind speed and damage caused. Tornado Alley in the central United States experiences most tornadoes during spring and summer. When a tornado watch is issued, tornadoes may form, while a warning means a tornado has been sighted and people should take shelter immediately.
Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms form from moisture, unstable air that rises rapidly, and lift from factors like fronts or mountains. Thunder is caused by lightning opening a small channel in the air, which then collapses back, creating the sound we hear. While thunderstorms produce noise and light, it is the heavy rain and wind that can damage homes and property, potentially leaving people without shelter or food.
Tornadoes natural disaster
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. They come in different shapes and sizes, with wind speeds that can exceed 300 mph. The deadliest tornadoes include the 1925 Tri-State Tornado that killed 695 people across multiple US states over 219 miles, and the 1989 Daulatpur-Saturnia Tornado in Bangladesh that killed over 1,300 people and destroyed 90% of homes across a 50 mile path. Proper tornado safety is to seek shelter in a basement, interior room or the lowest level of a building.
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.
Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms are storms that produce lightning and thunder. They form from single or clusters of cumulonimbus clouds and can affect small or large areas. There are different types of thunderstorms including air-mass and severe thunderstorms. Thunderstorms go through various stages of development from cumulus to mature to dissipating. Microbursts are strong localized downdrafts under thunderstorms that can cause damage. Lightning forms due to separation of charges within thunderclouds and can be dangerous, so safety precautions should be taken during storms.
Tornados
A tornado is a violently rotating funnel-shaped cloud extending from a thunderstorm to the ground, with wind speeds exceeding 200 mph. The deadliest tornado on record was the 1925 Tri-State Tornado, which killed 695 people and traveled over 300 miles. The largest tornado was the 2013 El Reno, Oklahoma EF-5 tornado, which was analyzed using Doppler radar. Tornadoes form when cold air drops and warm air rises in a thunderstorm, causing the warm air to twist into a funnel cloud.
How to survive a tornado
Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms to the ground. They can have wind speeds over 300 mph and leave damage paths over 50 miles long. Most tornadoes form when warm, moist Gulf air meets cool, dry Canadian air. This clash causes rising and rotating air that can tilt horizontally to vertically, forming a tornado. The strongest tornadoes are rated EF5 on the Fujita scale and can completely destroy well-built homes. To survive a tornado, have an emergency plan and kit ready. Take shelter in a basement, interior room or ditch if a tornado threatens, and stay safe after it passes by avoiding damaged areas.
Maddie- Tornado
This document provides 5 facts about tornadoes. It states that tornado wind speeds can be between 40-110 mph, most occur between March and August, they have a funnel shape made of strong wind, the safest place during a tornado is the basement, and tornadoes can lift trees, cars, trucks and trains off the ground.
Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, and Hurricanes
This is a powerpoint that I had made for my computers in education class. My major is integrated science, so I thought a unit overview slideshow would fit.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are large, swirling storms with very low pressure and winds between 75-200 mph that form over warm ocean waters. They rotate counterclockwise around an inner eye with light winds. When hurricanes make landfall, they cause significant damage to buildings, trees, and cars from high winds and storm surges that push water inland, especially in shallow coastal areas. The Atlantic and Eastern Pacific hurricane seasons run from June-November, though most storms occur in the fall. Hurricanes are named from rotating lists to identify them.
Tornado Presentation
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.

Thunderstorm and tornado
Thunderstorms form when warm, moist air rises and meets cool, dry air. This creates instability in the atmosphere. Changes in wind direction and speed with height cause horizontal spinning that can tilt vertically, forming a tornado. Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air in contact with the ground and clouds. The safest places during a tornado are the basement, center of an interior room, or a storm shelter. Thunderstorms can have harmful effects like electrocution and destruction, but also provide beneficial rainfall for crops and clear old vegetation.
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.
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.
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.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
