Tornadoes

Tornadoes are one of the most hazardous weather phenomena to plague the world with tendencies to wreak havoc worst than super typhoons and snowstorms . Nature 's fury as tornadoes manifest tend to leave a path of destruction with no exact perpetrator to pinpoint . Despite numerous studies regarding its nature and structure , scientific efforts to achieve such comprehension still entail difficulty in classifying what weather conditions are considered as tornadoes . Since its true nature and structure still remain to be determined , general information and damage assertion pose as vital elements in

analyzing such disastrous phenomenon

A tornado is a destructive spirals of wind that usually have speeds measuring more than 100 miles per hour and can reach up to 300 miles per hour (Edwards , 2006 . It is usually integrated with cloud formations resemblant of a funnel , though not all cases manifest such visual evidence . A tornado is also commonly associated with intense weather conditions like thunderstorms . Tornadoes are approximately 300-500 yards wide and may stretch up to 100 miles or more (Edwards , 2006

Tornadoes come from different directions , from south to north and east to west . And because of the unpredictable nature of the wind , some tornadoes may alter course amid path . In this sense , an increased incidence of tornado inducing conditions such as hurricanes , causes tornadoes to extend to different directions

Though as previously mentioned , there is a diversity on the tornado 's nature and structure , a vortex of wind is categorized as a tornado when it stretches from the cloud 's base down to ground level (Edwards , 2006 This method of classification however still does not constitute a full proof categorization of tornadoes , this is because numerous weather phenomena such as a strong mesocyclone (rotating thunderstorm ) can be misconstrued as a large weak tornado (Edwards , 2006 . In addition , it is also arguable whether several ground-touching funnels constitute as multiple tornadoes

Considering the the fact that not all tornadoes have funnel cloud formations , the questions how do tornadoes form and on what ground a wind vortex classifies as a tornado . are raised . The traditional explanation suggests that most tornadoes form through a mixture between warm moist Gulf air and Canadian air together with dry air from the broad mountain range in the western regions of North America (Edwards 2006 . Although most tornadoes appear to be a product of rotating thunderstorms or supercells , it is also notable that thunderstorms spawn other radical weather conditions such as damaging hail and non-tornadic winds (Edwards , 2006

The Storm Prediction Center 's Roger Edwards suggests that tornadoes are believed to be dictated by the conditions that encompass within the mesocyclone (2006 . A particular theory implies that temperature changes within a mesocyclone develops the formation of a tornado . a mathematical theory meanwhile counters that tornado formation is not dependent of temperature adjustments and some of the most devastating tornadoes ever recorded have had very little temperature alterations

It is mentioned that the tornado is a diverse natural phenomenon however , its vast nature does not necessarily...
