Research Question #1

Q:1 What is a Tornado?

My answer: A tornado is a dark funnel-shaped colud made up of rotating winds that can reach speed of up to 300 mph. The diameter of a tornado can very between a few feet and a mile, and its track can extend form less than a mile to several hundred miles. Tornados generally travel in a northeast direction at speeds ranging from 20-60 mph.
The winds inside a tornado spiral upward and inward with a lot of speed and power. It crates an internat empty that then sucks up anything it passes over.
A torando can from very quickly sometimes in a minute or less.It can travel across the ground at high speeds. Every year about 500 millions worth in damages is done by tornadoes in the U.S. Most tornadoes last less than twenty minutes and travel less than 15 miles
