What else can I help you with?
What warning is made when a tornado is possible?
If a thunderstorm is capable of producing a tornado in the immediate future or if a tornado has been detected then a tornado warning is issued. If general conditions are favorable for tornadoes but there is not necessarily an immediate threat, then a tornado watch is issued.
Is a tornado made of air?
Yes. A tornado is a violent vortex of air. It is made visible by water vapor condensing and dust being lifted by the wind.

Is a waterspout a tornado?

Is a tornado a funnel of water?
No. While the funnel is made visible by condensation, it is mostly air.
Why are tornadoes made of water?
They aren't. A tornado is a vortex of air, not water. The funnel of a tornado is formed by water droplets, but these droplets only account for a small percentage of the tornado's composition. These droplets form because tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms, meaning there is usually a fair supply of moist air.
Is there any kind of tornado made from water?
No. A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air. A tornado can form on a body of water, in which case it is called a waterspout. Some water can get pulled up into it, but it is still primarily a vortex of air. Whirlpools, vortices that form in water, can look like tornadoes, but are not the same thing.
What is the name given to a tornado over open water?
A tornado that forms on a lake or sea is called a waterspout.
Has there ever been a water tornado?
There are no tornadoes that are made of water, but tornadoes do touch down on water fairly often. Tornadoes on water are called waterspouts.
