TORNADOES!!!!

Page 9: Tornado PowerPoint

Definition: A tornado is a violent, dangerous, rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud.

Page 10: Tornado PowerPoint

How do tornadoes form?

Page 11: Tornado PowerPoint

1. Air starts to rotate when the wind is at 2 different altitudes, blowing at different speeds.

2. Faster spins (rotates) make a funnel cloud.

3. The funnel cloud rotates and touches down. Rain and hail from the storm makes the funnel touch the ground.

Page 12: Tornado PowerPoint

How do we know how strong a tornado is?

Page 13: Tornado PowerPoint

A tornado is rated on a Fujita Scale, rating a tornado between F-0 to F-5 (F-0 meaning not bad, F-5 meaning very bad)

They rate based on the tornadoes wind speed as well as damage done.

Page 14: Tornado PowerPoint

F-0 to F-1 tornadoes

Page 15: Tornado PowerPoint

“F-0 to F-1 tornadoes can collapse chimneys, toss mobile homes off their foundation, and have the strength to push cars off the road.”

Page 16: Tornado PowerPoint

F-2 to F-3 tornadoes

Page 17: Tornado PowerPoint

“Tornadoes can tear away roofs and lift and toss heavy cars.”

Page 18: Tornado PowerPoint

F-4 to F-5 tornadoes

Page 19: Tornado PowerPoint

“F-4 to F-5 tornadoes have the strength to pick up and carry entire buildings an entire distance, toss steal beams, and crunch cars. These tornadoes are very rare but are responsible for 2/3 of tornado deaths in the United States every year.”
