Natural gas is mostly methane. In my piece on the Cornell study, my subhed was âLeakage of methane from fracking boosts shale gas global warming impact.â I didnât note until several paragraphs later that âNatural gas is composed largely of methane,â which comes from the second sentence of the study itself.
Tornado strength is currently measured on what is called the Enhanced Fujita Scale (adapted from the simpler Fujita Scale in 2007), which gives the tornado a rating from 0 to 5 based on estimated wind speeds and the severity of the damage.
The Saffir-Simpson scale measures the intensity of a hurricane. Wind speed is measured on a scale of 1-5 to give an estimate of potential property damage and flooding along the coast. The Categories are as follows:Category One Hurricane: Winds 74-95 mph.Category Two Hurricane: Winds 96-110 mph.ind speed is measured on a scale of 1-5 to give an estimate of potential property damage and flooding along the coast.
