The old scale lists an F5 tornado as wind speeds of 261â318 mph (420â512 km/h), while the new scale lists an EF5 as a tornado with winds above 200 mph (322 km/h), found to be sufficient to cause the damage previously ascribed to the F5 range of wind speeds.
Literature is a term used to describe written and sometimes spoken material. Derived from the Latin word, litteratura, meaning writing formed with letters, literature most commonly refers to works of the creative imagination, including poetry, drama, fiction, nonfiction, journalism, and in some instances, song.
