Best Answer

A tornado gets its energy from the the thunderstorm that produces it. Most tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms with strong, rotating updrafts. These rotating updrafts get their energy from a combination of water vapor and wind shear. The water vapor is the main fuel of the storm. Thunderstorms work by drawing warm, moist air upwards from near the ground. As the air rises it cools and the water vapor condenses, releasing huge amounts of energy in the process. The wind shear, meaning difference in wind speed and direction with altitude, gives a storm the spin it needs to produce tornadoes.
