A tornado broke out in Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province. What is the difference between a tornado and a typhoon?

The scale of typhoon disaster is relatively large, while the scale of tornado disaster is relatively small.

Friends who have seen movies should know that typhoons are invisible and tornadoes are visible. This is mainly due to the formation of tornadoes, mainly due to the unstable atmospheric pressure, which leads to excessive updraft. At this time, tornadoes will appear, and typhoons have nothing to do with updraft. We can understand the typhoon as a strong wind, so the destruction of the typhoon is direct.

Tornado is a kind of rotating airflow that keeps moving, and it will do harm to everything around it during the movement. Once a tornado is formed, it is generally not less than level 5, and a level 5 tornado is enough to blow an adult into the sky. In this case, the only way for us to avoid the tornado is to escape quickly by means of transportation. If there is no means of transportation, we should immediately flee to both sides of the tornado, so that we can completely get rid of the tornado.

The difference between a typhoon and a tornado is obvious. Typhoons mostly occur in some coastal cities, such as Taiwan Province Province or Fujian in China, while tornadoes occur in cities that are either open areas or some maritime climate zones, which is closely related to atmospheric pressure and geographical factors.

In the process of alternating hot and cold air, typhoons are easy to form, and tornadoes may form when the air pressure fluctuates greatly. The formation of the two disasters is completely different, and the damage and influence caused by them are definitely different.

But whether it is a tornado or a typhoon, I don't want them to happen. After all, these natural disasters are extremely destructive, and both life and property will cause huge losses. I hope the researchers concerned can make forecasting equipment as soon as possible, so that we can make effective early warning before these disasters come, and then minimize the losses.
