What is a Tornado?
A tornado is not a very commonly occurring catastrophic event, but if these are in their highest possible levels, they can cause great damage. Tornadoes (twisters) are a funnel-shaped cloud of ashes and dust that has connection with the ground and clouds. These are not very common, but if they do occur, they are mostly the low level tornadoes in Texas.
How do tornadoes impact Texas Ecoregions?
Tornadoes can cause either a lot or very little damage to ecoregions. Very light tornadoes can cause very little damage such as just knocking over a tree. Very strong tornadoes can cause a huge amount of damage in which case the rebuilding of the area would be required. This means that really strong tornadoes can even tear down skyscrapers and many buildings.
In cases of damage to the ecoregion, in strong tornadoes, not only trees but animals can also die. This will affect a whole food web in an ecosystem. Tornadoes can even move houses from one place to a different place! In such cases, deaths will definitely be a result.
