Question

which weather event is capable of destroying homes and uprooting trees due to a low - pressure area at its center generating winds of up to 300 mph?
cyclone
hurricane
thunderstorm
tornado

Explanation:

Cyclones are large - scale weather systems with low - pressure centers, but they are more general and not typically associated with such extremely high wind speeds. Hurricanes are tropical cyclones with strong winds, but their wind speeds usually do not reach 300 mph. Thunderstorms are short - lived, local storms with strong winds, lightning, etc., but their wind speeds are much lower than 300 mph. Tornadoes are violent, rotating columns of air with extremely low - pressure centers at their cores. They can have wind speeds up to 300 mph, which can destroy homes and uproot trees.

tornado
