Is Sharknado Possible Essay

Is Sharknado possible?

While most people would think of this question and think no I and a few of my friends awhile ago while we were watching the movie had to think about it more in detail. While watching it we looked up stuff that could make it possible as a joke because we didn’t expect it would actually be possible. Well first of all there’s the tornado, a tornado is a column of wind spinning in the same direction at a certain speed that starts over LAND. So this would be the first sign that this isn’t possible until you think about the fact that in the movie they fell from the sky. Now in real life sharks don’t fall from the sky but it has been recorded that fish, frogs, and alligators have. Scientist think this phenomenon is caused by something called a waterspout which is a tornado that forms over the water for a short amount of time and is nit

But as mentioned before tornados don’t pick up sharks but if a strong enough water spout were to throw sharks into it it would be possible. Now to the question if they could survive there. If the tornado were to form close enough to water they can lift water so as long as it kept spinning it’d be fine and they could breathe since the water just needs to get in their gills. The closest thing that could be a example of this was a event during 1877 when a water spout dropped half a dozen alligators into a farm in south Carolina. The animals that traveled in the “gatornado” were only about a foot long so they didn’t need a chainsaw to defend against. I doubt the farmer had more than his mule and a plow. But if you want to count something that was actually dangerous then you want the 1894 case of jellyfish raining onto bath England. Author Charles Fort documents this episode and numerous other odd rainfalls in his ominously titled 1919 work, "The Book of the Damned," but remains skeptical, speculating that the rain may have actually been tadpoles rather than jellyfish. A little less dangerous
