No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.

Why don't tornadoes cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?

The air inside a tornadic thunderstorm (a storm that produces a tornado) does spin. But it is that spinning air that causes the tornado, rather than the tornado starting the air spinning.


What are winds doing within a thunderstorm to create a tornado?

Strong and rotating updrafts within a thunderstorm create an area of low pressure at the surface. This low pressure draws in winds from the surrounding area, causing them to spin faster and form a tornado.


Does a thunderstorm cause a tornado?

No. It is the other way around. However, only some tornadoes are formed by hurricanes. Tornados are tiny funnels that spin far faster than hurricanes, but hurricane are hundreds of times larger. TORNADOS ARE NOT CYCLONES. don't get confused between the two.


Where does the force from a tornado come from for kids?

The force of a tornado comes form a turning, rising mass of air in a thunderstorm called a mesocyclone. Sometimes a downward-moving wind called a downdraft can wrap around the mesocyclone and make it narrower, which causes it to spin faster.


What spins inside a tornado?

Air and debris spin inside a tornado. The strong updrafts and rotation of the storm system can lift and move large objects, such as trees and even vehicles.


What characteristics of a super cell would contribute to a tornado formation?

The main characteristic is the rotation updraft or mesocyclone, which provides the spin that becomes a tornado. Another factor is that, in a supercell, the downdraft is separated from the updraft that powers the storm, and so does not interfere with it like it would in an ordinary thunderstorm.


How do tornadoes spin?

Tornadoes themselves form from rotating thunderstorms called supercells. These storm get their rotation when horizontal rolling in the air gets turned vertical by the updraft of a thunderstorm.


Do hurricanes spin slower then tornado?

no


For a tornado to form you need large amounts fo cumulus clouds and clear skies above them There is also cloud and it may start to spin forming a tornado?

This is false. To form a tornado you need a large, powerful thunderstorm, usually a supercell. Because of this the sky will be overcast and often quite dark. Skies off to the sides of the storm may be clear.


How do you get the tornado spin in castle crashers?

Actually the tornado spin is a magic attack. Each character has it's own magic. The Arabian knight and the bear have the tornado. It's their Y magic attack.


How does tornado hapeen?

Well, first of all, there is warm\hot air moving around and it's a little higher. Cool\cold air does the same thing, but lower. Now that you know that, a tornado occurs when the cool and warm air are moving past each other and then they mix together and spin and build to make a tornado! :-)


Which is bigger a twister or a tornado?

Neither; they are the same thing. A tornado is known as a twister because they spin.
