Answer:the level of damage caused by a tornado.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Enhanced Fujita scale started being in use on February 1, 2007, after replacing the decommissioned Fujita scale introduced by Ted Fujita in 1971.

This scale is typically based on the damages resulting from tornadoes on structures and vegetation by an estimation of the tornado's wind speeds.

Usually after a tornado occurs, its related damage is analysed and rated from EF0 to EF5 according to its degree of damages by comparing to a compiled list of damage indicators, This gives an estimate of the range of wind speeds the tornado must have produced.
