Tornadoes can destroye structures and cause varying degrees of damage. Te extent of damage depends on the strength of the tornado and the type and quality of the structure. Damage can range from minor loss of roofing and siding, to the loss of the roof, to complete destruction. Some structures may be completely blown away.

How is earth affected by tornadoes?
Tornadoes can cause catastrophic damage to vegetation and man-made structures.
How do tornadoes change one's habitat?
Tornadoes change habitats by destroying vegetation and manmade structures.
Who needs tornadoes?
Nobody needs tornadoes. They harm those that they effect.
What are the impaets of tornadoes?
Tornadoes can damage or destroy vegetation an man made structures and can kill or injure people and animals.
What do tornadoes usually destroy?
Trees and weak structures such as barns, garages, and trailer homes are what tornadoes destroy most often. Sturdier structures such as frame homes are usually only destroyed by strong tornadoes, which are less common than weak ones.
How can tornadoes be prevented from being destructive?
We cannot stop tornadoes from occurring or from striking communities. It may be possible to reduce the damage done, however, by building structures to standards that allow them to withstand powerful winds. Even then, few structures can survive the strongest tornadoes.
How do tornadoes impact non living things?
Tornadoes damage and destroy manmade structures and can cause some soil erosion.
What are the catastrophes that tornadoes have?
Tornadoes do not have catastrophes. They are catastrophes in and of themselves. While many tornadoes cause only minor to moderate damage, intense tornadoes can be devastating. Their powerful winds can rip apart and even blow away structures. The debris from these structures can then be taken up by the winds, adding to the destruction. In some cases tornadoes may destroy entire neighborhoods and small towns.
How structures withstand tornadoes?
Structures can withstand tornadoes by being designed and built to resist high winds and impact from flying debris. Techniques for creating tornado-resistant structures include using reinforced connections, sturdy materials, and aerodynamic shapes. Building codes and standards also play a crucial role in ensuring that structures are designed to withstand the forces of tornadoes.
Why can't tornadoes travel downhill?
Tornadoes can travel down hill. Contrary to popular belief, hills have little to no effect on tornadoes.
Why does a tornado cause all the damage it does?
Tornadoes have very powerful winds that carry a great amount of force. The strongest tornadoes can have winds well over 200 mph, which very few structures can withstand. When tornadoes destroy structures, pieces of them can become flying debris, which adds to the damage.
How do tornadoes impact environments?
Tornadoes can damage or destroy vegetation and man made structures. In some cases even the grass can be pulled out of the ground.
