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.
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.

Mapping a Tornado Tragedy: Library Technology Conference 2017Melody Dworak
This session focused on the project management angle of building a digital collection for the Iowa City Public Library's Digital History Project at history.icpl.org/tornado. It was presented on March 26, 2017, at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. The session description was as follows:
On April 13, 2006, an F2 tornado formed in Southwest Iowa City. Eight minutes and 4.5 miles later, the twister dissipated, leaving more than $12 million in damages. In honor of the 10th anniversary of the tragedy, the Iowa City Public Library collected images and stories from community members who experienced this historic event. Members of the public submitted more than 2,500 images and video to the library for its digital collections on its Omeka website. ICPL plotted many of these images onto a Neatline map where users could tour the destruction digitally.
This session shares the project’s "lessons learned": What factors led to successful crowdsourcing? What struggles did crowd-controlled curation invite? It covers the marketing strategies, technology tools, and interactive print and e-sign exhibits that grew from the map. ICPL will provide analytics on the map’s use as well as attendance numbers for the library program produced in tandem with the digital tour.

How a Solar Storm Two Years Ago Nearly Caused a Catastrophe on EarthHope Small
“I have come away from our recent studies more convinced than ever that Earth and its inhabitants were incredibly fortunate that the 2012 eruption happened when it did,” Baker tells NASA. “If the eruption had occurred only one week earlier, Earth would have been in the line of fire.”
Superstorm Sandy's landfall on the northeastern US coast was forecast remarkably well in the days leading up to it. That forecast enabled many life-saving preparations. Another kind of forecast, equally accurate in its own way, had been available much earlier - and yet was not nearly as effective at spurring preparedness. The risks to our built environment of a Sandy-like event had been known for decades. But little was done to make that built environment more resilient, and it suffered great damage as a result. The forecast conforms to a historical pattern in which science-based warnings of the risk of a future disaster are not taken seriously until the disaster has happened at least once. What risks do we face from extreme weather and climate events, on the coasts and inland, now and in the future? Can we learn to make better use of scientific risk assessments with long time horizons? Most of all, how can we prepare for human-induced climate change, when - as Sandy was - it will be outside our experience?
The Marine Environmental Observation Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR) hosted a speaker tour featuring Dr. Adam Sobel, Director and Chief Scientist of the Columbia Initiative on Extreme Weather and Climate. Dr. Sobel presented information drawn from his recently published book Storm Surge. He received his PhD in meteorology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is a professor at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He is an atmospheric scientist who specializes in the dynamics of climate and weather, particularly in the tropics, on time scales of days to decades. A major focus of his current research is extreme events - such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts, and the risks these pose to human society in the present and future climate. He is leading a new Columbia University Initiative on Extreme Weather and Climate.

Abstract This article summarizes research completed to assess the risk of lightning-related
injuries and fatalities in Canada. Although lightning mortality has declined significantly over
the past century, it remains a common meteorological hazard that regularly kills and injures.
Based on an analysis of media reports, vital statistics, hospital admission and emergency room
visit records, and fire loss data, the authors estimate that on average about 9–10 lightning-related
deaths and 92–164 injuries occur each year in Canada. The distribution of casualties reflects
current provincial population and cloud-to-ground lightning densities. Consistent with similar
studies in other developed nations, most lightning-related fatalities and injuries in Canada occur
during the June-August summer season, coincident with peak lightning, and during the
Thursday-Saturday period, most likely related to higher rates of participation in outdoor
activities. The majority of victims are male, less than 46 years old, and engaged in outdoor
recreational activities when injured or killed in a lightning incident. Media reports used in the
study were found to underestimate both lightning mortality (36%) and morbidity (20–600%).

1 Introduction
The Meteorological Service of Canada issues approximately 14,000 warnings of severe
weather each year (MSC 2003). The bulk of warnings issued during the spring, summer,
and early autumn seasons are designed to alert the public to the development and imminent
arrival of severe thunderstorms and the potential for damaging winds, heavy rainfall, large
hail, and intense cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

GEOGRAPHY 101-52296 SUMMER 2015
2. WARNING:
Some images in this presentation are graphic
and all not suitable for the faint of heart. No
people shown, only damage. But be
forewarned.
3. How are Tornadoes Formed?
Funnel Cloud- Funnel-shaped cloud extending down from a
cumulonimbus cloud. Tornadoes form when these meet the ground
(McKnight 182).
Tornado- A deep low pressure system surrounding a rapidly rotating
cylinder of wind. The most destructive atmospheric disturbance in
nature (McKnight 182).
4. Where do Tornadoes Happen?
“Tornado Alley”: Texas, Kansas, Nebraska,
Oklahoma, Iowa, and South Dakota are
where tornadoes are most common
(NOAA).
Tornadoes do veer from this path
however, they tend to hit the states that
are mainly flat landscapes.
