A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. While they can occur almost anywhere, most tornadoes form in the United States and parts of South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Tornadoes typically appear as thin, funnel-shaped clouds less than a few hundred yards wide attached to a larger storm cloud, but can also form in various shapes and sizes. Modern forecasting uses weather radar and storm spotters to issue tornado warnings, helping reduce deaths from these dangerous storms.

Tornadoes
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
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 presentation
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
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.
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 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.
What is a tornado?
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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
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.
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.
Tornados
Tornadoes are violent whirling funnels made from wind that usually travel over land and can cause significant damage when they touch down. They form when hot and cold air collide, with the cold air moving under the hot air, causing an updraft that can spin into a tornado if rotating too quickly. The most dangerous tornado in recorded history occurred in the U.S. in the 1990s. Thunderstorms are a common cause of tornadoes, developing in warm, moist air masses, with factors like drylines and air flowing upslope near mountains also contributing conditions for tornado formation in some storms.
Cyclones and hurricanes
Cyclones refer to rotating weather systems that form around areas of low pressure and are known by different names worldwide, including hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, and willy-willies. Hurricanes are violent tropical storms that form over warm tropical oceans between July and October, with wind speeds over 120 km/hr. They have an eye at the center surrounded by heavy rain and clouds, with very low pressure and strong winds that rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. Undersea earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and other disturbances can displace large amounts of water and generate destructive tsunamis that travel very quickly across oceans before reaching shorelines.

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 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.
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.
TORNADOS
Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air that form during severe thunderstorms. They develop when warm, low-pressure air rises rapidly and condenses into a funnel cloud. Tornadoes are classified based on where they form - over land or water. The most powerful tornadoes can have winds over 300 mph and paths of destruction miles long, while smaller "gustnadoes" form from downdrafts. Tornadoes develop within thunderstorms and follow the path of the storm, appearing to "hop" as the vortex is disturbed and reforms along the way. They are rated based on the original Fujita Scale which classified tornado damage and estimated wind speeds.
Tornadoes
Tornadoes form from thunderstorms when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating instability. This causes the rotating air to tilt from horizontal to vertical, forming a violent rotating column extending from the thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes are most common in the central US, known as Tornado Alley, and occur most frequently between May and September in the southern US. Modern tornado detection uses weather radar rather than relying on visual sightings.

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.

Supercell storms (finished)
A supercell storm is a thunderstorm with a deep, persistently rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. They can trigger tornadoes and are characterized by cumulonimbus clouds in the middle. At the top is an anvil region which can produce damaging lightning strikes. The first storm identified as a supercell was the Wokingham storm over England in 1962.
16 3 Storms Andie
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and require specific conditions including warm temperatures, low pressure, high humidity, and the Coriolis effect. They can produce dangerous storm surges that are the most damaging part of a hurricane. Thunderstorms form from cumulus clouds and can produce tornadoes, hail, lightning and heavy rain. Flash floods occur when rainwater cannot drain quickly from an area, while river floods happen when a river overflows its banks due to heavy rainfall.

Tornado!
- 2. TORNADO A tornado is a violent, rotating column of air which is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud.
- 5. IT IS PREDICTED? Rigorous attempts to warn of tornadoes began in the United States in the mid-20th century. Before the 1950s, the only method of detecting a tornado was by someone seeing it on the ground. Often, news of a tornado would reach a local weather office after the storm.
