A tornado is a rotating column of air that forms from the moment a tornado makes contact with the land surface. Tornadoes are severe weather events that can occur anywhere in the world, but are most common in the midwest and southeast of the United States.

Tornadoes usually travel at speeds of 100 to 200 kilometers and can be up to 100 meters wide. The speed and size of tornadoes can vary depending on weather conditions and the characteristics of the surface.

Tornadoes usually form in the middle of thunderstorms. In storm clouds, cold and warm air currents collide with each other to form a rotating column of air. This column of air breaks away from the storm cloud and descends towards the ground, forming a tornado.

Tornadoes can cause great destruction. Tornadoes can destroy roads, bridges, buildings and trees. They can also harm people and animals.

The intensity of tornadoes is measured on the Fujita scale. The Fujita scale is a scale from 0 to F5. Tornadoes in the F0 and F1 categories usually cause minor damage. Tornadoes in categories F2 and F3 cause moderate damage. Tornadoes in categories F4 and F5 can cause major destruction.

To avoid tornadoes, it is important to pay attention to tornado warnings and seek shelter in a safe place. A safe place is a place that can be protected from the impact of a tornado. For example, a basement, inner room or mezzanine can be a safe place.

Tornado warnings can be issued over radio, television and the internet. There are also special apps for cell phones for tornado warnings.

Tornadoes are one of the most dangerous natural phenomena in the world. However, it is possible to be careful and take the necessary precautions to protect against tornadoes.

Factors affecting the formation of tornadoes are as follows: For tornadoes to form, the air temperature must be between 18 and 32 degrees Celsius.

For tornadoes to form, there must be enough moisture in the air. For tornadoes to form, the atmospheric pressure must be low. For tornadoes to form, the wind must be strong.

Tornadoes can cause great destruction. The damages of tornadoes are: Destruction of roads, bridges, buildings and trees, Injury or death of people and animals, Disruption of electricity and communication lines, Damage to agricultural crops

Tornadoes cannot be prevented. However, some measures can be taken to reduce the damage from tornadoes. These measures include the following: Paying attention to tornado warnings, Taking shelter in a safe place, Making buildings resistant to tornadoes

Measures to be taken against tornadoes are as follows: To follow tornado warnings on radio, television and internet. In case of a tornado warning, take shelter in a safe place.

The safe place can be a basement, inner room or mezzanine. During a tornado, stay away from windows and doors. Turn off electrical appliances. Call the telephone after the tornado has passed.

Tornado warnings may be issued over radio, television and the internet. There are also special applications for tornado warnings on cell phones.

Tornado warnings are usually issued when storms are approaching. When a tornado warning is issued, it is important to seek shelter in a safe place.
