Scientists discover a 11km scar on Nullarbor Plains, likely caused by a powerful 2022 tornado.

A 11km-long "erosional scar" found on the Nullarbor Plains by scientists from Curtin University is believed to have been caused by a tornado that struck in November 2022. The tornado, detected via satellite images, is estimated to have spun at over 200 km/h and left visible marks due to the region's slow vegetation growth. Researchers conducted a field study to investigate the scar's features and understand tornado activity in Australia.
