What forces are involved in a tornado?
The winds in a tornado are driven by a pressure gradient, more specifically, by the intense low pressure inside the tornado. The destructive potential comes from the sheer momentum of the tornado's extremely fast winds. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms, which are dependent on the buoyancy of warm air.
Explain the difference between how fast a tornado is moving and how fast its rotational winds are?
How fast a tornado is moving refers to how fast the tornado itself travels from point A to point B. For example, a tornado moving towards at 30 mph and is a mile away will reach you in 2 minutes. The rotational winds of a tornado refers to how fast the tornado itself is spinning, which is generally faster than its forward speed.
