Question

Identify the characteristics of tornadoes and hurricanes

Answer 1

Tornado:

-Process begins when the ground is heated to high temperatures.

-Common in the Plains states of the United States.

-Travels relatively short distances before losing its energy.

Hurricane:

-Develops over warm ocean water heated by the sun.

-Equivalent of a typhoon.

-Loses strength as it moves from water to land.

Strong tornadoes usually occur over land while hurricanes almost always form over the ocean.

The Great Plains, the Midwest, the Mississippi Valley and the southern United States are all areas that are vulnerable to tornadoes.

The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs.

Hurricanes may lose strength over land because of cool temperatures and a lack of moisture.
