Question

Severe storms all have extremely strong winds that can cause a lot of environmental damage.

Which storm below has the strongest winds?

cyclone
hurricane
thunderstorm
tornado

Answer 1

Among the storms listed, a tornado typically has the strongest winds. Tornadoes can produce winds exceeding 300 miles per hour in the most extreme cases, whereas hurricanes and cyclones have maximum sustained winds usually below 200 miles per hour. Thunderstorms can also produce strong winds, but generally not as strong as those found in tornadoes. Therefore, the storm with the strongest winds is a **tornado**.
