Explanation / Answer

13. None of the above . The destructive power of a tornado depends on the speed of the tornado,duration of the storm & the area where it is taking place.Higher the speed & longer the duration in a urban area means more destruction.Supercell thunderstorms produce the most dangerous of tornadoes.About 20% of supercell thunderstorms produce deadly tornadoes.

14. Fujita . Tetsuya Fujita introduced the scale in 1971.

15. None of the above. Tornadoes can occur during any time of the day or night but most tornadoes occur between 4p.m to 9p.m.

16. As temperature warms,more frequent heavy precipitation event occur. This is because at higher temperatures,the atmosphere can hold more water vapour which thus increases the chance of heavy rainfall.
