TORNADOES

• Small• Forms over land• Spring• Lasts a few minutes• Highest wind speeds – 300 mph• ? Dies out• F0 – F5Damage from wind, hail

HURRICANES• Large• Forms over tropical waters• Late summer/fall• Can last days• Highest wind speeds --- 160 mph • Dies out over land / cold water• Category 1-5Damage from wind, water (storm

surge) , can spawn tornadoes

More facts…..

TORNADO• Forms from supercell

thunderstorms• The greater the difference

in air pressure between high and low and pressure air masses, the more likely a tornado will result

• Center is low pressure• Circulate counter clockwise

HURRICANE• Ocean warmer than 26 oC• Low pressure in center

great enough, storm starts to spin into the center

• Circulate counter clockwise• Dissipate over land and/or

cold water
