The word "tornado" is believed to originate from the Spanish word "tronada" meaning "thunderstorm," possibly with influence from "tornar" meaning "to turn."
The rotation originate from the speed and direction of the wind changing with altitude. This sets air rolling horizontally. This horizontal rolling can be turn vertical by the updraft of a thunderstorm. This can then tighten and intensify to form a tornado.
No, a haboob is not a tornado.
If there is a tornado then the National Weather Service will issue a tornado waring saying a tornado has been detected.
Most tornadoes originate for a vortex called a mesocyclone, a rotating updraft found in some thunderstorms, particularly supercells. A downdraft from the rear portion of the thunderstorm wrap around the mesocyclone, causing it to tighten and stretch toward the ground. In the process it intensifies. When this tighter circulation reaches the ground it becomes a tornado. At this point air can no longer flow into it from below, causing the pressure inside to drop, causing the winds in the newly formed tornado to intensify.
Tornado's originate when a front of cold air meets with a front of warm or hot air in the atmosphere, creating a cyclone. Which may or may not touch down to the surface of the earth. It depends on how fast the two groups of ir were moving when they collided. This is why most tornado's occur in hurricane-type settings, which contain extremely fast winds.

There were no tornadoes in Chicago in 2009.

Maybe from the word tore or like a rip. Because tornados rip and tear things Kennedy age 11
A tornado is considered a tornado when it reaches the ground
No, a haboob is not a tornado.
Tornadoes usually originate in a powerful rotating updraft called a mesocyclone found in some thunderstorms. This mesocyclone tightens, intensifies, and stretches toward the ground to produce a tornado.
A tornado becomes a tornado when the circulation reaches the ground.
It would be sheer coincidence if they did. A tornado is primarily a land storm. There can be a tornado over the surface of water (called a waterspout), but either way, tornadoes have nothing to do with tsunamis, which are caused by undersea quake movements.
A tornado watch is a watch that is watching out for tornadoes. A tornado warning is a warning That lets you know that a tornado is spotted.
tornado in Portuguese is tornado too
A tornado alarm or tornado siren is a loud siren found in some tornado prone areas that sounds when a tornado warning is issued.
