With the huge tornadoes that brought disaster to 6 States happened last week we were shocked to find out that these tornadoes didn't occur in tornado alley, wondering if climate change had anything to do with it
it turns out that there are more tornadoes outside tornado alley than in! we discuss how does climate change impact tornadoes, as well as other things which such as the distinct line that separates the arid from the humid zones of America.
This was described John Wesley Powell the famous geologist and explorer. this sharp climatic Boundary is slowly shifting east and we have seen this this week with the devastating tornadoes in Kentucky and other states.
The famous tornado alley now has moved a couple of hundred miles east. This change is solely due to climate change and it is also seen in the Sahara desert as that has grown by 10% over the last 30 years. The US boundary which was on the 100th Meridian now sits well and truly on the 98th meridian and it will continue to move east as the global warming temperatures increase the evaporation from the soil and the precipitation patterns across United States continue. So states like Kentucky can expect more tornadoes in the near future.
