What kind of gases do tornadoes produce?

Tornadoes do not produce gasses. They are made of air and do not change its composition.


How is air movement important to tornadoes?

Tornadoes themselves are made of violently moving air and form from interactions of various moving parcels of air in and around a thunderstorm.


How do tornadoes use air?

A tornado is made of air. Air moves into a tornado and spirals upward at high speed.


What are the tornadoes made of?

Tornadoes are just rapidly moving columns of air. The reason that they are black is because that is the color of the dirt that they pick up.


Do tornadoes cause air pollution?

No. Tornadoes can be very destructive, but they do not cause air pollution.


Do tornadoes have bodys?

No. A tornado is essentially just made out of air with dust, debris, and condensation mixed in.


What two air masses cause tornadoes?

Tornadoes most often form where cool dry air and warm moist air collide. This does not directly produce tornadoes but rather produces the thunderstorms that, given a few other factors, can sometimes produce tornadoes. Additionally, such a meeting of air masses is not absolutely necessary for tornadoes to form.


Why tornadoes do not form on Guam?

Guam has been the site of tornadoes before. Tornadoes can form anywhere cold and warm air collide, causing an imbalance in air pressure.


What type of air masses makes tornadoes?

Tornadoes form most often when warm moist air collides either cool air or dry air. This produces thunderstorms. Other conditions are needed for those storms to produce tornadoes.


who made tornadoes come to life?

Tornadoes do not come to life as they are not alive. As to, who, the answer would depend on your religious standpoint. Most scientists would say that nobody creates tornadoes; they are just a consequence of interactions of air currents in a thunderstorm. A Christian would likely say that God creates tornadoes.


Why do tornadoes not form in antarcica?

Antarctica is too cold for tornadoes to form. Tornadoes need energy from warm air.


Do tornadoes have to mix with hot air?

No. The common description of tornadoes forming from a collision of hot and cold air is a gross oversimplification. The collision of air masses often produces the storms that spawn tornadoes, but is not a direct cause of the tornadoes themselves. The storms do not necessarily arise from such a collision either. However, the presence of hot, humid air is one of the most favorable factors for tornadoes to form as that is when the air holds the most latent energy.
