Why do tornadoes form by clouds?

Because only the the energy involved in a thunderstorm or developing thunderstorm is enough to form something as strong as a tornado.

Why do tornadoes vary in size?

There are various factors that are not fully understood. Part of it has to do with how much energy a storm can put into producing a tornado, as it takes more energy to move a larger amount of air and large tornadoes tend to be stronger. This depends both on how strong the thunderstorm is and how it is organized (i.e. where energy goes and in what forms). A well organized supercell thunderstorm with a lot of energy can produce very large violent tornadoes. Additionally, a key part of tornado formation occurs when a larger circulation, called a mesocyclone , tightens and intensifies. A mesocyclone that is not tightened as much may result in a large but not particularly strong tornado.


What is in the moist air that it causes tornado?

Moist air contains large amounts of water vapor. Water vapor carries large amounts of energy. This energy is what powers a thunderstorm that might produce a tornado


Why do tornadoes comes in the Earth?

Tornadoes come from the energy released in a thunderstorm. As powerful as they are, tornadoes account for only a tiny fraction of the energy in a thunderstorm.


How is a tsunami the same as a thunderstorm?

A thunderstorm and a tsunami are two very different phenomena. Both can be dangerous and can cause damage and flooding, but in completely different ways Both release large amounts of energy. Other than that they are completely different.

How big is a thunderstorm?

There isn't an exact size for a thunderstorm, but they can cover a large area of land. Every thunderstorm is different, and depending on how harsh the weather is and what the environment is like, the thunderstorm may be bigger or smaller.


What two things does a thunderstorm contain?

Electricity and energy.


What is the difference between a thunderstorm and lightning?

Lightning is light energy, or electromagnetic energy. And thunder is sound energy.


Is hail thermal energy?

No. Hail consists of pieces of ice that fall during a thunderstorm. The energy they have is kinetic energy.

Why does air near the Earth's surface have to be moist in order for a thunderstorm to form?

The energy that drives a thunderstorm comes from the latent heat stored in water vapor. This energy is released when the water vapor condenses. If there is not enough moisture then there is not enough energy.
