SCIENCE
Anyone
who has seen the movie "Twister" will know that the force of nature is not a childs game, that has the power of creation and destruction and
manages to balance on Earth. Tornadoes
are a unique and extraordinary ... to watch on TV ... for being in the
middle of one can be very fierce and destructive.
A
tornado is a weather phenomenon that consists of a funnel of air
violently broken, the lower end is in contact with the surface of the
earth and a cumulonimbus cloud top or, exceptionally, with the base of a
cumulus cloud is This is the most intense atmospheric phenomenon known.
Tornadoes
come in many sizes and shapes but generally have the shape of a funnel
cloud, whose narrow end touches the ground and is usually surrounded by a
cloud of debris and dust. Most
tornadoes have winds reaching speeds between 65 and 180 km / h,
measured about 75 meters wide and move several miles before
disappearing. The
most extreme wind speeds may have to be rotated to 450 km / h or more,
measuring up to 2 km wide and remain touching the floor along more than
100 km of recorrido.2 April 3
Tornadoes are detected by pulse Doppler radar and visually by storm chasers. They were observed on every continent except Antarctica. However, the vast majority of the world's tornadoes occur in the U.S. region known as Tornado Alley. They
also occasionally occur in south-central and eastern Asia, northern and
east-central South America, Southern Africa, northwestern and southeast
Europe, western and southeastern Australia and New Zealand.
There are several different scales to rate the strength of tornadoes. The
Fujita scale evaluates by damage caused, and has been replaced in some
countries by the Enhanced Fujita scale, an updated version of the
previous one. F0 or EF0 tornado, the weakest category, cause damage to trees but not structures. F5
or EF5 tornado, the strongest category, rips buildings off their
foundations and can produce significant structural deformations
skyscrapers.
