Question 15 • {HS} Earth and Space Science Sem. 1

Which scenario describes an effect of tornadoes on the environment?

Answer
A
a section of forest that has been burned
B
a path through a town with uprooted trees
C
a town near the coast with heavy flooding
D
a sandy beach that shows signs of erosion

Explanation

Tornadoes can produce powerful winds that uproot trees and damage buildings along a narrow path. A path through a town with uprooted trees is therefore an effect of a tornado. Forest fires, coastal flooding, and beach erosion are more commonly associated with other hazards or processes.
