Thunderstorms form in Florida the same way that they form everywhere else in the world. See the answer for "How does a thunderstorm form?" in the links below.
Yes. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms, usually supercells.
Florida has a subtropical to tropical climate. This provides plenty of warm moist air to fuel thunderstorms. The geography of the area contributes as well. Sea breezes from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean often converge over the Florida Peninsula during they day, sometime converging with lake breezes from Lake Okeechobee as well. This convergence forces air to rise, If the air is unstable enough it will lead to thunderstorms.
No. Thunderstorms form from cumulonimbus,bus clouds, which in turn form from cumulus clouds. Status clouds are not convective. Thunderstorms need convection to form.
Thunderstorms form high up in the sky (troposphere). They typically form over land, but not necessarily.
Thunderstorms are fueled by warm, moist air and are often triggered by some sort of lifting mechanism. Florida is an ideal location for thunderstorms to form, with the tropical Atlantic in the east and the Gulf of Mexico in the west providing plentiful warm, moist air. Converging sea breezes, tropical disturbances, and passing fronts from the north can then trigger thunderstorms that feed on that air.
YES
Cumulonimbus clouds form thunderstorms.
Florida is positioned between the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic. Both bring warm sea breezes onto the Florida Peninsula. These alone can trigger thunderstorms, but when they converge over central Florida, the warm, moist air can only go up, triggering large thunderstorms.
Yes. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms, usually supercells.
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form.
Yes. Thunderstorms can form over both land and water.
No. Thunderstorms form from cumulonimbus,bus clouds, which in turn form from cumulus clouds. Status clouds are not convective. Thunderstorms need convection to form.

depending on all the humidity in florida it usually leads to thunderstorms or rain storms. so, the answer is yes and no if you think hard on it
Thunderstorms form in the troposphere. The tops of strong thunderstorms may go into the stratosphere.
Thunderstorms form high up in the sky (troposphere). They typically form over land, but not necessarily.
No. Tornadoes are violent whirlwinds that can form during thunderstorms.
