Hello smarty pants and welcome to trusty trivia Thursday.
Today we're spinning into the wild world of tornadoes.
Before we begin, a short but sweet shout out to a couple of smarty pants.
First, we have Nicholas in Fremont, California, who loves who's smarted because it's so fun and they can learn more from the show than they learn in school.
Ouch! But also, awesome!
And a shout out to Marshall in Stratford, Ontario, who said they learn a lot from who's smarted when they listen on the way to school in the morning.
Aw, thanks for smarting with us Nicholas and Marshall.
And now let's funnel into some questions about tornadoes.
First question, what shape is a tornado?
Is it A, a funnel? B, a cylinder?
Or C, a sphere? Did you go with A?
That is absolutely correct.
Tornadoes are typically funnel shaped.
Next question, what's the area called where most U .S.
tornadoes occur? Is it A, tornado valley?
B, twister alley? Or C, tornado alley?
Did you choose C? Spot on!
The central U .S. region prone to tornadoes is called tornado alley.
Last question, what causes the loud roar of a tornado?
Is it A, thunder? B, wind?
Or C, both A and B?
Did you choose B? That is exactly right.
The loud roar comes from winds rotating at incredibly high speeds.
Worldwind success smartypants, your tornado knowledge is a force of nature.

Hey smarty parents, I know the struggle of wanting to create the best future for the children in your life.
That's why I'm thrilled to share my experience with IXL Learning.
Recently, the 8 -year -old child of one of our main Who Smarted writers started struggling with math.
They tried everything and felt helpless.
Then I told them about our partner IXL, and it changed everything.
IXL is an online learning program that covers math, language arts, science, and social studies from pre -K to 12th grade.
What sets it apart is how it adapts to each child's needs.
His daughter loves the positive feedback and fun challenges.
And the best part? IXL's research -backed approach has made a world of difference in her confidence and her grades.
It's like having a personal tutor but at a fraction of the cost.
A month of IXL costs less than one hour with the tutor even before our smarty family 20 % discount.
