Is a EF1 bigger than a EF5?
No. First of all, the ratings of tornadoes are based on damage, not size. EF1 is the second weakest category of tornado (there is also an EF0). These tornadoes generally do moderate damage. EF5 is the strongest category. Such tornadoes cause catastrophic damage. Although not always, an EF5 tornado is typically much larger than an EF1.
Are hurricanes worse than tornadoes or are tornadoes worse than hurricanes?
This cannot be answered simply, as both hurricanes and tornadoes vary greatly in how bad they are. The impacts of both tornadoes and hurricanes can range from negligible to devastating. That said, the very worst hurricanes can be far deadlier and more destructive than the worst tornadoes.
Which month has more tornadoes than any other month?
May on averages experience the most tornadoes.
Are tornadoes more common than cyclones?
yes
Is a tornado more violent going clockwise or counter-clock wise?
That depends on where the tornado is. Generally, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. There are more violent tornadoes in the horthern hemisphere, but that is mostly due to the fact that portions of the United States have an almost perfect setup for producing them. A small percentage of tornadoes rotate in the opposite direction from what is normal. These are called anticyclonic tornadoes (normal tornadoes are cyclonic). Many anticyclonic tornadoes are satellite tornadoes, and are generally weaker than the parent tornado that spawned them. Only one anticyclonic tornado has ever recieved a violent (F4 or F5) rating on the Fujita scale. It was an F4 that hit West Bend, Wisconsin on April 4, 1981.
Are hurricanes longer than tornadoes?
Tornadoes are both much larger than tornadoes and last much longer.
Are waterspouts larger than tornadoes?
No. Waterspouts are generally smaller than most tornadoes. Though a few are in the same size range that tornadoes typically fall into.
What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?
The statements "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" and "Hurricanes have strong winds" are both true. Tornadoes most certainly can kill people.
Is a Tropical storm smaller or larger then tornadoes and hurricanes?
Tropical storms are often, but not always, smaller than hurricanes. They are much bigger than tornadoes.
Which of the following statements about hurricanes and tornadoes is true hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot hurricanes have strong winds?
The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.
Do tornadoes do more damage then tsunamis?
Generally not. Tsunamis cause destruction along much larger areas than tornadoes do. However tornadoes are significantly more common
Does higher pressure make larger tornado's?
No. Stronger tornadoes (which are usually larger) have lower pressure than weak ones.
Are big tornadoes more destructive than compared to small tornadoes?
Usually, but not always. Large tornadoes are usually more intense than strong ones. Many EF3 and stronger tornadoes are a quarter mile wide or more, but it is unusual to see EF0 and EF1 tornadoes that large. Regardless of strength a large tornado is likely to cause more damage simply because it covers a larger area.
What is the biggest Tornadoes or cyclones?
Cyclones are far larger. Cyclones are hundreds of miles across while tornadoes are usually less than a quarter of a mile wide.
Why hurricanes are usually more destructive than tornadoes?
Tornadoes are very destructive along a narrow path of land, but hurricans cover a much larger area.
Are hurricanes worse than tornadoes?
Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes, and thus cause damage over a larger area, meaning more homes destroyed, and more people in harm's way. Tornado damage can be more severe, but it is localized along a rather narrow path.
Which is larger a hurricane or a tornado?
A hurricane is much larger than a tornado. A typical hurricane is a few hundred miles across. Most tornadoes are no more than a few hundred yards wide.
