My textbook says, "The average tornado expends about 1000 times as much energy as a lightning bolt." For an assignment, I have a T/F question that asks if lightning expends more energy than a tornado. The wording is confusing me. Does lightning expend more energy or not? Please help!
@snowflake16,
They are saying the average tornado expends much more energy (1000x) than a lightning bolt.
My immediate thought is that they should also have used the word 'average' when speaking of lightning bolts. As written, there isn't much basis for a comparison.
@roger,
Superman is more powerful than both of them.
a speeding locomotive as well...
Have a great night!
