How do I conduct an experiment with a tornado?

Question

I'm really interested in meteorology and hope to become a meteorologist some day. My high school is having a science fair. I chose to do a tornado. My question is Why are tornadoes more powerful than hurricanes but don't last nearly as long as hurricanes. How am I supposed to do this experiment? I really want to do this topic so I need help on how I can do this experiment or if there's another experiment related to weather that I can actually do.

Answer 1

Well, I would NOT recommend going out into a tornado to try this expierment.

You can always get information from google and other internet sources.

Also hurricanes can be much more powerfull in different ways.

Like the size and duration and the rainfall are all ways hurricanes are more powerfull than tornadoes.

Tornadoes can have the stronger winds but the damage is confined to one small area.

Answer 2

Spin the water in a drinking glass !  looks the same as tornado ? but you,re thinking of real live tornado chase ?  that,s crazy !

Answer 3

try to google this.tornado are strong but dont last long because they form from supercells and they loose their intensity after a while because they need the right items and need them or they will not form now hurricanes are just huge powerful storm that are created by the warm aferican temperatures but dont trust me exacly all of it just google it to make sure.
