Detailed explanation-1: -The largest tornado path widths can exceed one mile, while the smallest widths can be less than 10 yards. Widths can even vary considerably during a single tornado, since its size can change during its lifetime. Path lengths can range from a few yards to more than 100 miles.
Detailed explanation-2: -A violent tornado can travel at speeds of about 300 km/h. Tornadoes may form within cyclones. In our country they are not very frequent.
