Hey guys! Last week for Inquiry we got to go to different teacher for, Natural Disaster info reports! My reports are about, Bush fires and Tornadoes! I have never seen nor been in a tornado or a bush fire. But if I was I would be terrified! I enjoyed learning about how bush fires and tornadoes are formed. I hope you enjoy my work and learn something new! Here it is:
Bush Fires:
Tornadoes
By: Karaitiana
Have you ever seen a tornado in action before? Tornadoes can be one of the most powerful forces in nature and can last up to 17 hours!
How do tornadoes form? Underneath big thunderstorms, when dry cold air and warm wet air meet, the heavier and colder air pushes under the warm air and forces the warm air into the thunderstorm. All this fast moving air starts to spiral. Then a tornado is formed.
How do tornadoes look? They start up high in thunderstorms and connect all the way to the ground. They are also foggy and grey. They spin up to 500 km per hour but move 50 km per hour.
Did you know that there are different tornadoes. Supercell is one of the strongest. A long large tornado that is very violent. Waterspout, a tornado that forms over water and when at ground it disappears. Landspout, like a waterspout but on land. It is weak and is not associated with a thunderstorm. Gustnado, a small tornado formed at a weather front.
Now that you have read this information report, you know how tornadoes are formed, what they look like and some different types of tornadoes. Fun fact, did you know that tornadoes are stronger than hurricanes!
