In order for a tornado to form there usually need to be two initial conditions: instability that can create thunderstorms (usually along a boundary between warm and cold air) and wind blowing at different speeds and directions at different altitudes. This difference in speed and directions produces rolling air currents called wind shear. This wind shear can get taken into the updraft of a thunderstorm and turned vertical. This turns the storm into a supercell, a thunderstorm with a strong, rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. Under the right conditions a downdraft can descend from the storm can wrap around the mesocyclone, tightening and intensifying it into a tornado.
What else can I help you with?
Are tornadoes man made?
No. Tornadoes occur naturally.
Why are tornadoes made of air?
Tornadoes are made of air necause they are a weather phenomenon and occur within Earth's atmosphere, which is made of air.
Are there such things like double tornadoes?
There are multivortex tornadoes that at times can look like they are made up of two or more tornadoes
What are tornadoes made of fire called?
Tornado-like whirlwinds made of fire are called firewhirls. Meteorologists do not consider them to be true tornadoes.
Are tornadoes made from electricity?
No. Tornadoes are made from interactions of wind currents and pressure differences within a thunderstorm. Electricity plays no role.
How is earth affected by tornadoes?
Tornadoes can cause catastrophic damage to vegetation and man-made structures.
What kind of gases do tornadoes produce?
Tornadoes do not produce gasses. They are made of air and do not change its composition.
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.
Are tornadoes natural or man made?
Tornadoes are storms, and thus naturally occurring.
What are the impaets of tornadoes?
Tornadoes can damage or destroy vegetation an man made structures and can kill or injure people and animals.
Are tornadoes visible?
Yes. Tornadoes are often made visble by condensation in their funnels and by dust and debris. However, some tornadoes may be obsured from view by rain or the dark of night.
What are the tornadoes made of?
Tornadoes are just rapidly moving columns of air. The reason that they are black is because that is the color of the dirt that they pick up.
