Cumulonimbus clouds form thunderstorms.
* Rising Unstable air * moisture * Air cools with an increasing altitude
Yes. Thunderstorms can form over both land and water.
Thunderstorms require moist air to form. That is where the rain comes from.
No Thunderstorms often form along cold fronts, but are generally associated with low pressure. However, a cold front is not necessary for thunderstorms to form.
Heat provides the energy required to form thunderstorms and thus tornadoes.

Yes. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms, usually supercells.
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form.
No. All thunderstorms require an updraft, but that updraft does not need to rotate. A supercell is not a rotating updraft, but rather a particular kind of thunderstorm with a rotating updraft.
Yes. Thunderstorms can form over both land and water.
No. Thunderstorms form from cumulonimbus,bus clouds, which in turn form from cumulus clouds. Status clouds are not convective. Thunderstorms need convection to form.
Thunderstorms form in the troposphere. The tops of strong thunderstorms may go into the stratosphere.
Thunderstorms form high up in the sky (troposphere). They typically form over land, but not necessarily.
No. Tornadoes are violent whirlwinds that can form during thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms form in Florida the same way that they form everywhere else in the world. See the answer for "How does a thunderstorm form?" in the links below.
