What type of cloud can spawn a tornado?
A tornado is typically spawned from a supercell thunderstorm cloud, known as a mesocyclone. These types of clouds are characterized by a rotating updraft, which can produce the necessary conditions for tornado formation.
Can tornadoes make another tornado?
Yes, in some instances one tornado may spawn a smaller satellite tornado.
Can a super cell cause a tornado?
Yes, a supercell is a type of thunderstorm that can produce tornadoes. They are characterized by rotation within the storm, which is a key ingredient for tornado formation. When the necessary conditions are present, a supercell can spawn tornadoes.
Is a tornado bigger than a thunderstorm?
A tornado is a smaller-scale phenomenon that can occur within a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms are generally larger in size and can produce a variety of weather conditions, including lightning, heavy rain, hail, and strong winds, which can sometimes spawn tornadoes.
What would happen if we had no tornadoes?
Fewer homes would be destroyed in tornado-prone areas and we would not have storm cellars or tornado sirens. Severe thunderstorms would not be considered as dangerous as they are. Fewer people in the US would die from storms. Thunderstorms that would spawn tornadoes would expend their energy in some other way.
What does spawn a tornado mean?
When a storm spawns a tornado it produce a tornado.
Which of these clouds is the one that can spawn a tornado?
Cumulonimbus

Can tornadoes make another tornado?
Yes, in some instances one tornado may spawn a smaller satellite tornado.
What other catastrophic events can a tornado lead to?
A large, intense tornado can sometimes spawn a second smaller tornado that circles it and is called a satellite tornado.
What is a tornado warned storm?
A tornado warned storm is a thunderstorm for which a tornado warning has been issued, meaning that the storm is producing rotation that can spawn a tornado.
Can tornadoes have a tornado after that storm just finished?
If you mean to ask if one tornado can form after another has dissipated, yes. Supercells, the storms most likely to produce tornadoes, often go through cycles. They can spawn can spawn multiple tornadoes one after another in what is called a tornado family.
Can there be a tornado that ends but then have another tornado at the same time?
If you mean to ask if one tornado can form after another has dissipated, yes. Supercells, the storms most likely to produce tornadoes, often go through cycles. They can spawn can spawn multiple tornadoes one after another in what is called a tornado family. Sometimes the next tornado in the family will form before the current one has dissipated, resulting in there being two tornadoes at the same time.
Does a tornado spawn off the ocean?
Not usually. Tornadoes generally form on land. Kansas is one of the most tornado prone area in the world and it is nowhere near the ocean.
Do tornados split?
Sort of. The vortex of a tornado can break down into a series of suction vorticies that circle inside the main vortex, but it is still considered one tornado. Some strong tornadoes can also spawn a small satellite tornado, which circles outside the large tornado.
What other storm can a tornado cause?
A tornado cannot cause another type of storm, though some strong tornadoes will spawn smaller satellite tornadoes that "orbit" the main vortex.
Can there be a tornado and hurricane at the same time and how?
Yes. It is actually fairly common for the thunderstorms in the outer bands of a hurricane to spawn tornadoes.
