Tornado

supercell thunderstorms with equal updrafts and downdrafts (7). Supercell's form in an environment with low atmospheric moisture (10). A rotation helps produce sever weather changes (4). Supercell tornadoes are usually the most dangerous type of tornado (7). Isolation allows them to have more energy and moisture (6). Usually supercell's don't produce that much precipitation (10). Supercell storms usually isolate from other storms (4). These tornadoes stay on the ground the longest so that makes…

each tornado as well as casualties from them. This article can help develop a method for a project examining tornadoes and death rates because someone can look at how Simmons and Sutter got the data for the tornado's and use that to find data…

natural forces impact people around the globe, usually in a relatively harmless way. However, natural events can quickly become disasters in the right conditions, as is the case with tornadoes and hurricanes. In the middle of the United States, “Tornado Alley” stretches roughly from Texas to upper South Dakota. This coincides with the Great Plains—an area of flat, open land that practically bisects the continental United States. Here, conditions are far more likely to produce massive storms…

Hurricanes and tornados are both forms of natural disasters that have the potential to cause great devastation. They are caused by the unpredictability in atmospheric environments. A common delusion is that they are the same type of system, but with a different name; however, this is far from being true. Hurricanes and tornadoes have similar traits, but they also have many differences. Although they both share similar makings and features, they are different structures altogether. Both…

most people swish water around in a bucket, they might see a tornado-like shape formed by water. This happens more than only in a bucket of water, we actually have tornadoes that form over beaches or any wet area that will support them. These tornadoes are most likely non-super cell. So, is it true? Can tornadoes really form over water? Yes they can, and these tornadoes are referred to as water-spouts; a waterspout is just a weak tornado that forms over water. In some cases these water-spouts…

very, very fast, and their winds and speeds can reach up to three hundred miles per hour according to, Hurricanes and Tornadoes Source 3. Normally people from the Mid – Section of the United States see tornadoes. The Mid – U.S. is also known as Tornado Alley according to, Hurricanes and Tornadoes Source 2. Rarely, not that much people die from tornadoes, but the damage is horrible is what…

situation, you can be prepared. Recognizing what a tornado looks like can really help you for future reference. Identifying a tornado before it strikes will definitely come in handy! I dont think you want to die! Now please, stick around! Tornadoes look like a funnel or cone. To start, they are really just spinning columns of air. They extend from the sky and touch the ground. However, there are no ways of predicting exactly where of if a tornado will make landfall or how powerful it’s winds…

whirlwind of clouds was starting to dance on the grass. My father slowly picked me up and closed the curtains, his voice was soft with a little ounce of fear, “That going to be a tornado.” I started to internally freak out, but my eyes were glued to the sliver of window that wasn’t covered by curtain. I saw the tornado moving slowly across the grass. It was much smaller than what I could’ve imagined, the wind was howling and slamming against the glass windows, and then in a flash it disappeared…

people aren’t educated upon the likes and differences of these two natural phenomena. You may be asking; “What causes a tornado or hurricane? They can’t just pop up out of thin air.” Cyclones have to have extremely precise circumstances to form. Tornadoes can actually spawn from thunderstorms, as the warm air rises into the cold air to create a dangerous reaction: a tornado. Hurricanes also need heat to survive and thrive, as they form within warm, coastal waters. Once formed, they both spin…

The poem Uncoiling by Pat Mora is a piece that uses interesting techniques and literary devices to write what seems like a story about a woman, but what is actually the journey of a tornado. The poem starts with her awakening, and gathering animals and lighting in her hair, and moves onto her scaring the rocks and rivers. The woman then creates wind and thunder, and scares people into their houses. The story then speaks about the fearful people singing to their children, and the carnage that the…
