National Geographic hey, so this might sound like a odd question but, how fast and how strong would a creature ( a quetzalcoatlus for example) have to flap its wing in order to create tornadic winds and or actual tornadoes?

Nice i love to know about natural disasters keep it up😂😂😂😂😂😂😁🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Fun Fact: If the tornado looks like it’s not moving, that means it’s heading to your direction.
Oh he🏒🏒 thanks for the tip
or its going away from your direction :T

That not right a tornado kill you
Tracy Jones he just means he likes watching the videos
I agreed, this is much interesting than my teacher teach me 🤭. I Love 101 series!!
Tornado is called 竜巻(Tatsu-maki) in Japanese. 竜 means dragon, 巻 means curl
Cool
Arigato for the information
Similar here in China! It is 龙卷风(Long-Juan-Feng). 龙 is the Chinese version Chinese character for 竜, 卷 is the same as 巻, too, and 风 means the wind :)
@@ficklegator5169 it's because Japanese is really "inspired" off of Chinese lol
Your smart 😇
I'm so confused. I've literally NEVER heard of a tornado in the UK in my whole 38 years. Im not saying they done happen as they obviously do its just strange they never make reports on it.
Yeah I was thinking that, I’ve never seen one in the uk
We had two as I know to? One in Telford the other in Birmingham, not heard about anymore? 😳 🤔
@@janeh832 Thats crazy. They must just not be reported much here. Would have loved to see it x

I lived in tornado alley (Tulsa) for 12 years and we always kept the radio and TV tuned to the weather reports when supercells were tracking toward town. I never had to hit the basement, but we had a few close calls - pretty scary!

But why would you live there if you know that that happens?
Maybe dont build your houses out of wood, muricans
Tornadoes 🌪 are scary
But why u stay...ur live us more important.
Pure destructive force. Absolutely terrifying. But great explanation here. Was very informative. Also reminds me of the movie "Twister" back in the 90s.
Watch "Into the Storm" (2014)

I have been absolutely fascinated by tornadoes, supercells, storms and weather in general ever since i was a kid. Shows like storm chasers and the likes got me absolutely pulled in and grew my interesst in weather events. You have to have the utmost respect for these storms. And to the people researching, monitoring and preventing these events.

Me too! I grew up in Tornado valley and as a kid I would literally sit outside on the porch during tornado watches, giggling and kicking my feet and hoping to see one (until my parents dragged me inside💀) but I was always so fascinated by them. They're just beautiful things really.

Yes
To get an idea of how powerful the winds of a typical tornado are, consider the fact that some have been known to drive small objects like forks or records deep into tree trunks or telephone poles. Even tornadoes with low Enhanced Fujita Scale ratings have winds that are sufficiently fast and pressure that is sufficiently low to pull the roofs clean off houses.
Wow
Whoa Thats Crazy
Excuse me?? I've lived in England for 27 years and I had NO idea we could even GET tornados here. I was literally just thinking how lucky I was to live in a country that can never get tornadoes! Now I am SHOOK
It can happen but it's extremely rare in England. They're also usually not as deadly where you are. I just don't think it gets humid enough where you are for that to happen usually. (Judging solely by the fact that my british friend is always complaining about how cold it is💀)
Anyone here remember the Linwood tornado that went from Kansas to Ohio? That one came through my county. It was 400 feet from my house. That was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever experienced.
Watching it live I thought the entire town was flattened
Ye- *wait, it went to ohio*?
*ohio*
The fact that these type of weather occurrences shows me that nature or the universe itself runs the show. We just live here
My name is Setya Faturahman from SMK Bakti Nusa. Tornado are so frightening that they can devour whatever is in front of them, if we see a tornado it is better to take refuge in a safe place like a basement to save yourself.

Thank you for this information
I love the 101 series. Short, but full of informations
This 101 series is extremely awesome.
This video let me know how tornado be classified and how it form.
But the most important is that you let people know there are many nameless heroes devote their everything to protecting people in high-risk areas.

I was born and raised in KS. Just went through my first EF4 this past May. Scary but amazing all at once.
Ayyy that one was right by my house. 400 feet away!
Your parents are irresponsible for bringing a child into that life. Knowing there's a lot of tornadoes in the area and they still choose to live there and procreate there is unfathomable to me.
@@mrdirexion You were born into a multucultural society that has no benefits for anyone, how could your parents be so irresponsible to let you be exposed to joggers
@@mrdirexion Not many people die from tornados so I'm sure their fine.
If you live in Oklahoma you have to deal with tornadoes like twice a year. Honestly im use to seeing green skys in the fall in spring, its like "oh here we go again".

Any Pecos Hank fans here? If I remember correctly I think National Geographic was going to use his footage to some of their documentaries. Hank is amazing!
Hank is the best videographer and commenter online.
Nat Geo should also use his wildlife videography!

They can happen anywhere

I’m using this for a project too.

I live in the UK and the last time I saw a tornado here was like NEVER!
same, ive inly ever seen 2..
I learned about the principles of the formation of tornadoes in Earth science class, so I understand more about the video. I have to study more about why there are no tornadoes in our country. It is amazing that atmospheric phenomena consist of scientific principles, not coincidences.
can we change the landscape to reduce tornadoes ?
@@robinsss no the ground has nothing to do with tornadoes
@@RaiVal_ many tornadoes in tornado alley
form because of three air fronts combining
one of those fronts is the dry air from the Nevada desert
that air exists the Sierra Nevada mountains are blocking clouds from passing into the central part of Nevada

I absolutely love that tornadogenesis is still a mystery.

That's the power and the beauty of nature! How arrogant, therefore senseless, is man's behaviour towards what he should respect!
The UK has the most annual tornadoes per land area per year, 0.14 per 1000 km2 (although these tornadoes are generally weak), and other European countries have a similar number of tornadoes per area. One notable tornado of recent years was the tornado that struck Birmingham, United Kingdom, in July 2005.
who here has online classes because of covid-19 and they were assigned to watch this
Me
-MANNA- me
me. it’s 1:22am. i wanna go back to school
Finish that school! :)
-MANNA- I just wanted too watch it lol
The vast majority of the tornadoes that occur in the UK are most often non-supercellular in origin, manifesting as waterspouts and/or landspouts and rarely beyond F1 strength. Conditions that would be necessary for the formation of supercells in the UK rarely come together to produce the colossal and highly sophisticated supertall rotating anvils of devastation that are supercell thunderstorms. That said, they have happened. The Birmingham Tornado of 2005 was undoubtedly supercellular in origin and produced one of the strongest tornadoes ever recorded in the UK and in May 2012, three supercells formed in Central and Northern England (notably in Sleaford, Lincolnshire) and one of them produced a tornado. This is probably why we don't usually get the massive wedge-like F4's and F5's or even F3's that go on the rampage in Tornado Alley in the American Midwest and South (Texas)
Also worth noting that supercells are actually pretty common in many parts of the US. I live in the midwest and I'd say that we get around one a week at minimum.
@@someonerandom704 Yeah...I know that. No other place on Earth has more supercells and tornadoes than America, especially in Tornado Alley. I made my comment here in reference and comparison to the prevalence of tornadoes (especially the large and destructive types spawned from supercells) in the US.
I can believe that you'd have them that frequently in your part of the Midwestern United States although not all supercells actually end up spawning their deadliest weapon being tornadoes.
@@skm0881 That’s right Pal. Proud of it. Now go play with Snowy 🤣
Tornadoes are most occur in tornado alley, a stretch of land in mid-western in United States. They basically form when dry cool air from Canada and hot moist air from Mexico that releases heat clash together to create a vicious storm which eventually becomes a tornado. The wind of a tornado can be nearly up to 500 km/h.
I was waiting for this video for so longgggg , tyyyy . Btw love ur videos
me too
yo how much have you changed in the past year like u really watched this video a year ago how u doing random person in the world lol

The visual depiction of the formation of a tornado, along with real ones, it was scary at the same time informative. Super video. Loved it.
BTW, if you want an episode on floods, welcome to Kerala, India 🙂. For last two years, the monsoon season is replaced with flood season. You can have a live telecast of raining and consequent flood within an hour.
How can you do that?

Here after the big tornado 🌪 that happened in Kentucky and other Midwest & southern states.
I appreciate the education on tornados thanks :)
Tornadoes terrify me, and I wish I lived somewhere that they don't form.
Tornadoes look funny and scary at the same time. It's like a cloud slurping out of the ground
Tornadoes aren't usually clouds on the ground they are a violent vortex of air and spawning on land to kill a destroy
Dude i have an assignment about tornados and this vid gave me an A+ thank you National Geographic
My country never had tornadoes it’s very very rare in the Philippines 🇵🇭
this is why I actually am thankful for quarantine
before it whenever i went outside I kept looking past my shoulder for a tornado
like if ur even more scared of them now
Wow cool
Imagine tornadoes on the Great Plains before humans, when there were tens of thousands of bison to be airborne. A black cloud indeed.
I live in Oklahoma, and I absolutely hate tornados. During spring and summer I get major anxiety.

I am watching this in a middle of a storm! ...haha!
In El Reno for our state trap shooting tournament, you could definitely tell that there was terrible damage there. Even after 20 years there were absolutely no trees, and if there were any they were bent over naturally from the constant wind. It was breathtaking because of how open it was. Now for the fun part. Since it is so windy out there because there are no trees to slow the wind, The birds would fly super irratically. Worst spot to hold a trap shooting tournament 😂
Not that there would be many trees before the tornado in el Reno anyway…
the uk hasnt had a tornado in 196 years.. we have tornadoes that are around 1 - 4 inches long and 6 cm thick

Tornadoes 101: Run.
Thank you for this
Made so much sense compared to other videos
this happens whenever I try to play badminton in open grounds
The narrator has mesmerizing voice
I know right
A NOTE ABOUT THE EF SCALE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION
Tornadoes are based on damage they cause, with wind speed being measured by how much destruction is present.
A 200 MPH tornado can be classified as an EF0. This can happen if the tornado is over open land, but the outer band of the tornado hits a lawn chair in your backyard.
If a 200 MPH tornado directly impacts a structure, damage will be assessed, and it will be classified as an EF5 tornado.
It's mainly based on DAMAGE from wind, not the wind itself.
We live in MS. We went through 2 Tornados in one week. The destruction and power of these things are mind-boggling.
Wow. Incrível. Obrigado
Even tho I hate tornadoes this makes me loook in to tornado subject
I haven't seen a tornado yet. But I can feel the strength of the tornadoes occuring those areas. I hope to see it in real. I have learned about typhoon's growing so it was more interesting while I was watching this video because I can understand it.
You guys are the best and very educational, the video about tornadoes was very awesome and fascinating.
I love this! U SHOULD DESERVE MORE SUBSCRIBERS!
From time to time God will test us with these winds of fury. Trust in his plan, and know that it is divine, and know that sometimes it will include danger such as this, and other hardships you may struggle to understand..And also know that it is for the best. Always. Pray for yourselves, and each other. God bless.

who else is hapening to watch this only for science class
Dr. Bright not me...
I had a brain storm whilst watching
I love this channel because it is so informative and i love that
2:47 what variable gives it direction? if you subtract earths rotation or slow it down or reduce the wobble these processes will either get weaker or not happen at all. Remember High pressure air and low pressure air are only two variables to produce a third variable(in this case the tubular vortex) you will need an outside force which is earth's rotation rather wobbled rotation
Yeah honestly they left a lot out here and some stuff they included is not correct at all (low pressures are cooler sir, not warmer). Earth's rotation causes our jetstreams to flow west to east which is why our storms track that way. But internally in a storm, the low and high fronts colliding causes all that rotation as the whole storm tracks east. What they don't include here is the constant cycling of air due to RFD from the low pressure side combined with the straight line surface winds from the high pressure side which together forms the wall cloud, which is what they use to determine tornado possibilities from radar.
I learned from doing safety drill stuff at one of my jobs that a tornado would only come from a specific direction (SE I think but don’t quote me). I think other geographic features in the area go into this. In school I learned that thunderstorms off the coast of west Africa are the engines for tropical storms and hurricanes off of southern and east coasts. There’s also the northerly winds that come to the US from Canada. These collide in the middle of the US which is known as tornado alley during certain seasons. I think the types of clouds that lead to the formation of tornadoes could be addressed too but this is good for a 5 minute video. If you wanna know more about jet streams you should look up El Niño
Given the information in front of us, can we classify Hurricanes and Cyclones as tornadoes?
Hurricanes form over the sea then make landfall..
Mark Galbraith so then they aren’t a kind of tornado? What about cyclones?
@@SpaceRaptorsInfiniteAR5001 im not sure...google it 😉😉
Did you pass your 3rd grade science class?
No, hurricanes are not the same as hurricanes and cyclones however much could be discovered by comparing all of them because there are likely similar factors or variables that contributes to how they form. I did pay attention and do remember what I learned in science class in school. I would highly recommend watching a 60 Minutes video about water management in the Netherlands on TH-cam because it shows how we can scape our coastlines so there’s not so much damage and loss of life every time there’s a hurricane or tropical storm in the US.
I have never seen one in real and btw it was very nicely explained.
