Air masses of low density tend to rise because they are less strongly affected by gravity than cool air masses. Rising warm air masses is the primary cause of convection on earth. Thunderstorms are a product of convection. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms.

Why can tornadoes pick up whole buildings?
It is actually quite rare for a tornado to pick up an entire building. Such things usually only happen in EF4 and EF5 tornadoes. Such tornadoes have extremely powerful winds that spiral upward. The upward motion can exert more force on a building than gravity does, and thus lift it into their.
What are the 3 general categories of tornadoes?
Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.
What do they call tornadoes in US?
Tornadoes in the U.S. are called tornadoes.
Is there any extreme tornadoes?
It depends on what you mean by extreme. Tornadoes of EF4 and EF5 tornadoes, however are often referred to as violent tornadoes. These account for about 1% of all tornadoes.
Names of known Tornadoes?
Tornadoes don't get named, Hurricanes do, but Tornadoes don't.
Does Floridas have tornadoes?

Are tornadoes calm?
No. Tornadoes are violent.
Are tornadoes safe?
No. Tornadoes are dangerous.
What continent does not have tornadoes?

Can tornadoes create other tornadoes?
Yes, some strong tornadoes create brief satellite tornadoes that circle the main funnel.
