a tornado is formed by a thunderstorm
Where does a tornado descend from?
A tornado descends from the base of a thunderstorm.
Is a tornado part of a thunderstorm?
Yes. A tornado can be though of as part of a larger parent thunderstorm, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
What rotating air mass is in a thunderstorm cloud?
A tornado
How long does it take for a tornado to change from a cloud to a tornado?
The transformation from a thunderstorm cloud to a tornado can occur rapidly, typically within a matter of minutes. This process involves the development of a severe thunderstorm with rotation that can quickly strengthen and produce a tornado.
Does a tornado cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
Can a tornado cause a thunderstorm?
No, it is the other way around: thunderstorms cause tornadoes.
Why don't tornadoes cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?
The air inside a tornadic thunderstorm (a storm that produces a tornado) does spin. But it is that spinning air that causes the tornado, rather than the tornado starting the air spinning.
What is the difference between weather warning and weather watch?
A tornado/thunderstorm watch means that weather conditions are good for tornado/thunderstorm. A tornado/thunderstorm warning, however, means that conditions are extreme and a thunderstorm or tornado is likely. Conditions for either storm are very good at this stage.

Does a hurricane have a larger thunderstorm than a tornado?

What kind of storm causes a tornado?
A thunderstorm will cause a tornado. The thunderstorm clouds are the Cumulonimbus clouds. The majority of thunderstorms that produce tornadoes are in a special class called supercells. These are the most powerful thunderstorms on earth and are noted for having a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone.
Is a tornado part of a thunderstorm?
Yes. A tornado can be though of as part of a larger parent thunderstorm, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
Do a tornado only cause rain or does a hurricane cause rain?
Tornadoes are accompanied by rain, but they do not produce it themselves. Rather, the rain is a product of the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado. Hurricanes produce very heavy rain.
How a tornado evolves from a thunderstorm?
well the thunderstorm builds to a super cell which is a sever thunderstorm then all it needs is a rotation
What is another name for a rotating thunderstorm?
A rotating thunderstorm is also known as a supercell.
