Yes. There have been many accounts of tornadoes crossing lakes and rivers, and sometimes moving into the ocean. If a tornado move onto water it is called a waterspout.
Fair weather (non tornadic) waterspouts usually dissipate once they hit land. A tornadic waterspout just continues on land as a regular tornado.
Tornadoes can form on both land and water, but are most commonly seen on land.
They can form on either on water or on land, but it is more common for them to form on land. A tornado on water is called a waterspout.
Yes, a waterspout can occasionally move over land if it forms over a body of water and then moves inland. As it moves over land, it is known as a tornado rather than a waterspout. Waterspouts are essentially tornadoes over water.
If there ever was one on the lake it would be a water spout not a tornado. Tornadoes are on land not water. A water spout is on the water.
A tornado that doesn't reach all the way down is a funnel cloud. A tornado on water is a waterspout.
A waterspout it a tornado that forms on a body of water. It looks like a land formed tornado but on a smaller scale.
No. Cyclones and tornadoes are completely different phenomena.
A tornado moves in a relatively narrow path on land
so they could go to places faster or get across water that sonic cant go in and tornado is a plane
Yes it is a tornado over the water. However it is easier for a tornado to form over water and is generally smaller and weaker. Waterspouts are generally not officially counted as tornadoes unless they hit land.
Waterspout is the correct term. If a tornado forms on water by the same mechanisms that it would form on land (i.e. from the mesocyclone of a supercell) it is called a tornadic waterspout.
