There were a number of reasons Federalists opposed the Louisiana Purchase. One can assume some opposed it just because it was Jefferson who made the purchase, out of a kind of reflex. Others had heard wild stories about the land purchased, and thought the purchase a bad bargain. Some thought that the inclusion of Louisiana as the treaty was written would undercut the power of the states by not having each state vote, thus undercutting Federalist power. (Some Federalists in the eastern states specifically feared a shift in power to the west.)

Which form of severe weather is depicted in the image above?

Vlad1618 [11]

<u>Answer:</u> "Tornado" is a form of severe weather depicted in the given image.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A tornado is a rapidly spinning mass of air reaching down to the ground from the center of a thunderstorm. Tornadoes can completely destroy well-made buildings, uproot trees and hurl objects like lethal missiles through the air. Several types of tornadoes include multiple vortex tornado, landspout, and waterspout.

Tornadoes occurs very often in North America (especially in central and southeastern regions of the United States known as tornado alleys), southeastern South America, Southern Africa, Northwestern and Southeastern Europe, Bangladesh and adjacent eastern India, Western and Southeastern Australia and New Zealand.

Tornadoes can be detected before or as they occur with the help of Pulse-Doppler radar by recognizing patterns in data on velocity and reflectivity like hook echoes or debris balls, also by storm spotter effort.
