Educational worksheet about tornadoes with an illustration and fill-in-the-blank sentences.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a paragraph about tornadoes with blanks to fill in using vocabulary words (though the word bank isn’t shown, we can infer common terms based on context and standard science knowledge).

Here’s the paragraph with blanks:

> A violent rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground is called a ________. They are also known as ________ or cyclones. Violent tornadoes can cause colossal destruction by uprooting trees, completely destroying buildings and hurling vehicles. They have wind speeds of up to ________. Traditionally tornadoes look like a ________. They can also look like a snake rope. Landspout, multiple vortex tornado and ________ are different at kinds of tornadoes. No ________ is safe from the wrath of tornadoes.

Now let’s fill each blank logically:

1. “A violent rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground is called a ________.”
→ This is the definition of a tornado. So first blank = tornado

2. “They are also known as ________ or cyclones.”
→ Tornadoes are sometimes called twisters. So second blank = twisters

3. “They have wind speeds of up to ________.”
→ The strongest tornadoes can reach over 300 mph. Commonly cited max is 300 miles per hour. So third blank = 300 miles per hour

4. “Traditionally tornadoes look like a ________.”
→ Most people picture them as a funnel shape — so funnel fits here. Fourth blank = funnel

5. “Landspout, multiple vortex tornado and ________ are different kinds of tornadoes.”
→ Another type is a waterspout (which forms over water). Fifth blank = waterspout

6. “No ________ is safe from the wrath of tornadoes.”
→ This means no place — so place fits. Sixth blank = place

Let’s double-check for sense and grammar:

- “called a tornado” ✔
- “also known as twisters or cyclones” ✔ (cyclone is more general but often used interchangeably in casual talk)
- “wind speeds of up to 300 miles per hour” ✔ (EF5 tornadoes can exceed this, but 300 is commonly taught)
- “look like a funnel” ✔
- “waterspout” is indeed another kind ✔
- “No place is safe” ✔ — makes sense

All blanks filled logically and accurately.

Final Answer:
tornado, twisters, 300 miles per hour, funnel, waterspout, place
