A waterspout is essentially a tornado on water; if one goes on land it is considered a tornado. Additionally, most waterspouts form differently from normal tornadoes. A typical tornado forms from a mesocyclone, which is a large, rotating updraft found in some severe thunderstorms. Some waterspouts, called tornadic waterspouts, form in this way but are rather rare. More common are what we call fair-weather waterspouts, which form when convection caused by cool air passing over warm water interacts with turbulence at the surface. The rising moist air, warmed by the water pulls in slowly rotating air, causing the rotation to stretch upward, tighten, and intensify. Because they do not have a severe thunderstorm to provide energy, fair-weather waterspouts are generally not as strong as ordinary tornadoes.
