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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
