Severe weather Essays

occur in the Northern Hemisphere, mainly the United States. The central part of the United States is called Tornado Alley because this is where most tornadoes occur. My family resides in an area that is home to many tornadoes, many of which are quite severe. This is the reason, tornadoes were of interest to research. Causes Tornadoes are generated

About Tornadoes,” and it explains what tornadoes look like, where they happen, and how to protect yourself. In the, “Basic Facts About Hurricanes,” it explains what a hurricane is and how it can impact. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are severe types of weather that occur in the US and they have some similarities and differences. One reason I believe that tornadoes and hurricanes are similar is because they both cause destruction. In source two, the author states that tornadoes are high in

This summary on what makes a tornado form. It is about the wind patterns and the how hot the wind or cold the wind must be. It is also on what a tornado needs to form or to crash down on earth. Before we get straight into how much they destroy, we have to first learn how they become a tornado in the first place. This is my science curiosity question for science 6th grade. After we are done you should really understand how tornedoes form. Tornedoes form when cold and hot air combine to make a pattern

The first step in forming a tornado is having the weather and land conditions just right. Though tornadoes can touch down anywhere, they are more likely to develop in areas like the Great Plains; flat, and with a mixture of warm, wet air and cold, dry air. To create a tornado there must be a thunderstorm. To create a thunderstorm there must be a collection of unstable air with moist air present. This air is the result of cold dry air in the upper atmosphere and warm moist air in the lower atmosphere

The Spirit of a Tornado The old west was a long stretch of sand, hills valleys and most importantly, cowboys. Now cowboys are tough and strong, but none were as fast as Pecos Bill. Now Pecos Bill was the roughest cowboy there is, He was so fast he could outrun a horse going 20 mph. He was very skilled at what he did, and what he did was he rode broncos. And he rode them VERY well. And people called him “the wonder of the west.” One fateful day Pecos Bill got tired of riding broncos and wanted

tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from the sky to the ground. Tornadoes are the most violent of all atmospheric storms. The most violent tornadoes are capable of tremendous destruction with winds up to 300 mph. No other weather phenomenon can match the fury and destructive power of tornadoes. Tornadoes can also be strong enough to destroy large buildings, leaving only the foundations. Also, they

Hurricanes and tornadoes have a lot in common. They also have a lot of differences. Hurricanes might destroy things but according to Spencer Adkins that if you go right in the middle of a hurricane, you can see that it is calm and peaceful. Next, you may get hit by something called the eye wall. (your already in the eye which is not that powerful that is why it is calm.) Tornadoes might look real scary but according to source 3 tornadoes can pick up a house and leave the other nearly untouched

A spinning funnel of wind is a tornado that is like a giant vacuum. Weather causes tremendous storms. During a violent thunderstorm, a tornado can be formed when hot and cold air mix together in the lower atmosphere. A tornado touches down on the ground, sucking up all the wind in the air. It is like a giant vacuum. The intensity of the tornado will increase to five levels. Tornadoes can touch down to the ground like a giant vacuum and cause massive destruction. Tornadoes are common in midwest, but

The Fujita Tornado Scale was invented by Mr. Tetsuya Theodore Fujita, a scientist who observed weather. F-0, the weakest tornado on the Fujita scale, can just snap off tree branches. However, F-5, the strongest on the Fujita Tornado scale, can destroy an entire town. Before the scale was invented, scientists would rate tornadoes by size. This system

Introduction: Hypothesis – I am doing this research to find out if the effects of tornadoes can be positive or negative, and how different areas of people are effected more severely. I also want to see if the effects of tornadoes are increasing or decreasing. Aim – My aim of my research is to find out how tornadoes affect humans. I aim to find out how humans are impacted, being physically, mentally or economically. Area of research – The area of my research is areas around the world that tornadoes

Hurricane Mississippi Tornado 1971 According to the Oxford English Dictionary, I found a tornado to be a mobile destructive vortex of violently rotating winds, having the appearance of a funnel shaped cloud, and advancing beneath a large storm system. "Tornado” ( Oxford English Dictionary) In February 1971 the Hurricane School was destroyed by a winter tornado. A winter tornado is more destructive due to them seeming to be a thunder storm although a tornado. Although a tornado can be life threatening

Do you think that tornadoes and hurricanes are two of the most destructive forces of nature? I feel that the hurricane and also the tornado are two of the most destructive and harmful forces to our community. They both can cause hundreds of deaths and they are worse compared to earthquakes and other natural disasters. They can ruin any home and destroy anything. There can also be a lot of different types of hurricanes and also tornadoes. I will begin by telling you the similarities and differences

Summary: Since Friday, a Mount Pearl woman fought against Canada Post’s operation where they intended to install super mailboxes on her property. Jo-Anne Lyver became upset when Canada Post workers began to work on her lawn without consent. When Lyver confronted the contractors for documents regarding their project, they could not provide any permissions to install the mailboxes on her property. Lyver has stated that she is happy to oblige to official documents permitting the use of her land, but

A tornado is a natural whirlwind caused by hot air trying to rise, and cold air trying to sink. The end result is a destructive whirlwind capable of wind speeds up to 205 miles per hour, and lasting over 1 hour. The idea of this essay is to show the before and after of a tornado. So we will begin. Firstly, tornadoes are a destructive force that could demolish a town, but what are the causes of these tornadoes? As I’ve explained in the first paragraph tornadoes are caused by hot air rising

Without Dr. Fujita’s Scale scientist would have little understanding about the tornadoes spin speed and damage. The Tornado most likely occur around summer in the Mid-West states (Challoner 22). Tornadoes come from thunderstorm which has to have a warm weather and a cold front to make a tornado. The Mid-West states are normally cooler in the summer and it’s a perfect environment for a tornado to form. When tornadoes occur, sometimes bringing hail, which can also lead into harmful damage (Challoner 20)

We have spent years trying to find ways to predict weather patterns, but unfortunately there's still a long way to go because windstorms, earthquakes, floods, diseases, and other types of natural disasters are still striking the earth with a great range in death tolls. Here’s a list of the few catastrophic natural disasters that have changed the lives of many on earth: Tornadoes: Tornadoes form in conjunction with thunderstorms in places where there is moist, warm air ahead of easterly-heading

with a large problem of scanty of water and food. Climate change brings us fewer and more intense rains throughout the country. We can clearly notice local climate change today. Another evidence for climate change happened in Myanmar in 2010: The weather suddenly change opposite, in April, 2010, the hottest month of the year in Myanmar, instead of being normally 34 degree C, it changed to 10 degree C suddenly and it lasted for three days. Instead of wearing light summer clothes, people had to wear

Imagine being outside in a gigantic thunderstorm with wind speeds up to 300 mph. Suddenly, violent, rotating columns of air extend from the sky, reaching all the way down to the ground. The funnel shaped twisters starts destroying large buildings and homes alike. They uproot trees, and vehicles race through the air for miles. These channels of intense wind are called tornados. In an average year, 1000 tornadoes are reported nationwide. On the afternoon of Friday, April 14th, a supercell thunderstorm

Richard Hart was driving a Mercury Parcel delivery van in the course of his duties when he struck Mrs. Forrester as she crossed the street with this vehicle on the morning of February 26, 2014. As a result, Mrs. Forrester has sustained permanent and severe injuries from the incident. The injuries that she suffers from are fractures to her left leg, pelvis and hip, concussion, torn

Measurement and Classification In the 1950s and 60s there was no way to assess strength and severity of a tornado, scientists could only count the number of tornadoes that occurred. Tornadoes cannot be measured directly due to their destructive nature. The fierce winds will destroy the measurement instruments. The first classification system of tornadoes, the Fujita Scale, was developed by Dr. Tetsuya Fujita in 1971. This measurement system was based on the structural damage a tornado leaves behind
