What kind of fronts are in a tornado?
There are not fronts in a tornado. However, the thunderstorms that produce tornadoes are most often found ahead of clod fronts. Dry lines are also common producers of tornadoes. Warm fronts and stationary fronts less often. Some tornadoes form from storms not associated with any fronts.
What happens when two fronts push against each other?
a tornado

What fronts are in a tornado?
Fronts do not occur in tornadoes, though they can play a role in tornado formation. Depending on condtions fronts can trigger thunderstorms which, in turn, sometimes produce tornadoes. Cold fronts produce a fair percentage of tornadoes in the U.S. as do dry lines. More rarely they can form along a warm front. Some tornadoes ocurrin storms that develop without a front.
What can too much radiation cause?
a tornado
Does an occluded front cause a tornado?
Not usually. Tornadoes are usually associated with cold fronts or dry lines.
Can a front cause a tornado?
Yes. Tornadoes most often are produced by the thunderstorms that form along cold fronts.

What front is needed for a tornado?
mostly cold fronts
Is it hot outside after a tornado?
Generally not. The storms that produce tornado form more often along cold fronts than warm fronts. So more often the weather is hot before a tornado and cooler afterwards.
What happens when two fronts push against each other?
a tornado
Which one of the cause a tornado stationary fronts or wind shear condensation dry climates?
Condensation and wind shear are both important in tornado formation. Tornadoes develop from thunderstorms, which are powered by the energy released from condensation. Wind shear is what gives thunderstorms the rotation then need to produce tornadoes. Tornado-producing storms may form along a stationary front, but are more common along cold fronts.
What fronts happen when a tornado is present?
Tornadoes will most commonly occur in association with a cold front or dry line. Torbnadic storms may occasionally occur in the presence of a warm front as well. Some tornadoes will occur without any fronts. Remember that fronts do not directly cause tornadoes; thunderstorms do.

What masses and fronts were in the mass tornado hit June 1st 2011?
There are no fronts "in" a tornado, though tornadoes are often associated with them. The tornado outbreak that affected Massacusetts on June 1, 2011 was associated with a cold front, which occurs when a cooler air mass pushes into a warmer one.

When the air temperature goes up does a tornado happen?
No, although hot weather may result in dust devils it is not directly conducive to tornado formation. Tornadoes need thunderstorms called supercells to form. Tornadic storms and other severe weather form along cold fronts (which cause a temperature drop) more often than warm fronts.
