It doesn't. A tornado is a spinning column of air, not water.

First, you need thunderstorms, then you need a condition called wind shear, in which the speed or direction of the wind changes with altitude. If the shear is strong enough it can essentially tilt a thunderstorm. This separates the updraft and downdraft of the thunderstorm, preventing them from interfering with one another. This allows the storm to become stronger and last longer.

Additionally, if the wind shear is strong enough it can start the air rolling in what is called horizontal vorticity. This horizontal vorticity can then be turned vertical by a thunderstorm's updraft. When this happens, the thunderstorm may start rotating. The rotation is especially strong in an updraft called a mesocyclone. If the storm intensifies rapidly enough, a relatively warm downdraft called a rear-flank downdraft or RFD can wrap around the bottom part of the mesocyclone. This can then tighten and intensify its rotation and bring it down to the ground to produce a tornado.

It can change into a water spout?

A water spout is a type of tornado that forms over water. It happens when a tornado crosses over a body of water and starts pulling up water into the air. The spinning motion of the tornado creates a funnel-shaped cloud with water droplets.

Does a tornado have wind?

A tornado IS wind- very fast winds spinning in a circle.


What do you say when you are making a conclusion on a tornado in a bottle experiment?

Well, spinning the bottle in a circular motion creates a water vortex that looks like a mini tornado. The water is rapidly spinning around the center of the vortex due to centripetal force (an inward force directing an object or fluid such as water towards the center of its circular path). Vortexes found in nature include tornadoes, hurricanes and waterspouts (a tornado that forms over water).


Does a tornado cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?

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


How can i make a real mimi tornado model?

To create a miniature tornado model, you can use a clear plastic bottle filled with water, and swirl the water inside the bottle to create a vortex similar to a tornado. You can also use a small fan to create a spinning motion inside the bottle. Adding glitter or food coloring to the water can help visualize the tornado better. Just be careful when handling the bottle to avoid spills.


What happens to water that is sucked out of a pool by a tornado?

Water that is sucked out of a pool by a tornado typically gets carried by the strong winds within the tornado and can be deposited elsewhere. The water may evaporate if exposed to air or can contribute to flash flooding if deposited on the ground in a concentrated manner.


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.
