The Fujita scale is a scale of the damage and destruction of tornadoes. Tornadoes are very catastrophic event that can make structured houses and large trees be swept away. Tornadoes are measured by an E-F rating, 0 being the lowest rating and a 5 being the highest rating. The tornadoes are measured by the damage the tornado causes. The tornado is only given an E-F rating after the tornado has finished, so the damage can be calculated. A tornado is very catastrophic event, and can happen quickly with very little warning.
--Sydney Helt, 2nd period science class On Monday we had a test all about air masses and reading weather maps. Personally, I had some trouble on the first few questions on the test. The Jet Stream is why all weather moves form West to East. An air mass takes the characteristics of the surface that it is above. If we have air coming from Canada, we have cool dry air. If we have air coming from The Gulf Of Mexico, we get warm moist air. The moist air comes form the water and the dry air comes from the land. I hope that this helped if you were stuck!
