Because windspeeds of up to 500 km h-1 can develop just above the base of the narrow column of helically rising air of the tornado, they are the most violent of all atmospheric phenomena. In the most extreme cases, swathes up to 8 km in width and 350km in length have been laid waste by tornadoes with a forward motion (translatory velocity) of up 110 km h-1. more typically, a tornado will have winds of 150- 200km h-1, create a damage track 50- 100m wide and will travel 2-5 km with a translatory velocity of 30-60 km h-1. The high damage potential of this hazard is a consequence of the high wind velocities directly affecting structures, objects being entrained in the circulation and then ejected, the intense windshear and the extremely low central pressure(perhaps up to some 200mb lower than the surrounding air). It was once believed that this great pressure deficit would cause a building to explode if a tornado moved directly over it, as the air inside- still at atmospheric pressure- would blow out the walls in an attempt to equalize with the external low pressure of the tornado core, but it is now accepted that much of the damage will have already been done by flying objects and the high winds, before the core arrives. Furthermore, any such explosive effects are likely to have been created by an overpressure- by the hydraulic ramming of air through open/broken windows and doors which is capable of blowing buildings apart.

The unanimous passage of general Assembly resoliution was based on the belief that “natural” hazards are continuing to pose escalating costs on human societies- the so-called “natural tax”-though death, destruction, damage and disruption. This view, which was supported by statements such as: During the past two decades, natural disasters have been responsible for about 3 milion death and have adversely affected at least 800 milion people through homelessness, disease, serios economic loss and other hardships, including immediate damages in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Very largery reflected increasing awareness of hazard impacts brought about by developments in communications and the media.

Ištrauka iš darbo: The target of this course work is the errors made in English – Lithuanian translations. Nowadays this topic is very important, because the English language is one of the best known languages in the world. So it is crucial as fast as it is possible to find ways how to avoid mistakes made in translations. The main goals of this course work are: to ascertain what kind of mistakes are common; The tool to find out the types of mistakes a survey among the students of Social science collage group 2U has been conducted and English and Lithuanian texts compared. To analyze and classify them; The results of the survey have been analyzed, the errors investigated and grouped. To point out differences between the Lithuanian and English languages; To achieve this goal both the languages have been compared on the aspect of parts of speech, morphology and lexicology. Methods used at the course work were analysis of the information recourses and their selection, comparison of the linguistic means, conducting of a research, analysis and classification of the research results, summarizing the material and drawing conclusions.
