Best Answer

The most notable example is a tornado, which is a funnel cloud that reaches the ground. Over water, this can manifest as a much less violent phenomenon called a waterspout (a non-cyclonic waterspout over land is called a landspout). Other smaller forms of rotating spinning air are called whirlwinds and dust devils.
