Yes. All tornadoes form in thunderstorms.
Because only the the energy involved in a thunderstorm or developing thunderstorm is enough to form something as strong as a tornado.
No, tornadoes typically form within severe thunderstorms that have strong updrafts and rotating air. The intense vertical motion within a thunderstorm is necessary for creating the conditions that can lead to tornado formation.
A dust devil resembles a tornado on some levels, but is not as strong and does not form from a thunderstorm.
The weather usually clears after a tornado because most tornadoes form in the rear portion of a thunderstorm.
A tornado is a violently rotating columns of air in contact with the base of a thunderstorm and the ground. Tornadoes are usually produced by a type of strong thunderstorm called a supercell.
Yes. Tornadoes form during severe thunderstorms.
Yes, a severe thunderstorm can create the conditions necessary for a tornado to form. Thunderstorms with strong updrafts and rotation can produce tornadoes when other factors align, such as atmospheric instability and wind shear.
Tornadoes usually form from a kind of thunderstorm called a supercell.
A tornado/thunderstorm watch means that weather conditions are good for tornado/thunderstorm. A tornado/thunderstorm warning, however, means that conditions are extreme and a thunderstorm or tornado is likely. Conditions for either storm are very good at this stage.
a tornado is formed by a thunderstorm
A tornado descends from the base of a thunderstorm.
In some cases a tornado can develop from a rotating thunderstorm in a matter of seconds.
