Question

Which of the following is true of a tornado? (Select all that apply.)

A.
Tornadoes are easy to predict for meteorologists.

B.
Tornadoes begin with a thunderstorm and bring high-force winds.

C.
Tornadoes are destructive because they always last several days.

D.
Tornadoes can bring hailstones, flooding, and lightning.

Answer 1

B and D are your answers here.

A is incorrect because it is nearly impossible for meteorologists to predict when they will touch the ground, where it will form, and the exact time. This is why watches exist, to warn you that there is a possibility of a tornado to spawn.

C is incorrect because they don’t last several days, not even hours. They, on average, last 10 minutes.
