What are the basic ingredients needed for a tornado to form?
The basic ingredients needed for tornadoes are:Instability, which is needed for thunderstorms to form.A lifting mechanism to trigger storm development, usually in the form of a cold front.Wind shear, which sets the thunderstorm rotating.One the storm develops and has a well-defined rotation you need a downdraft to turn the rotation into a tornado.
2 types of air masses that form a tornado?
Most often a warm, moist air mass collides with a cool air mass, a cold air mass, or both. However, such a collision alone will only form thunderstorms. Other factors are needed for those storms to produce tornadoes.
How can a tornado form in space?
Tornadoes cannot form in space. A tornado is a vortex of air. There is no air in space.
Can a thunderstorm cause a tornado?
Yes, a severe thunderstorm can create the conditions necessary for a tornado to form. Thunderstorms with strong updrafts and rotation can produce tornadoes when other factors align, such as atmospheric instability and wind shear.
What type of pressure causes a tornado to form?
Tornadoes form due to a combination of atmospheric instability, wind shear, and a triggering mechanism like a cold front or thunderstorm. The interaction of these factors can create a rotating column of air that descends from a thunderstorm, leading to the formation of a tornado.
Is rain part of the tornado's formation?
Yes it is. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, and a downdraft caused by rain is one of the things needed to produce the tornado.

What is the strong wind giving to the tornado?
The strong wind in a tornado is the source of its destructive potential.

A tornado warning means that a tornado is likely to form?
Partially. A tornado warning means that a tornado is likely to form or already has formed.
Can a tornado form in England?
well i think a tornado can form anywhere
Is it true that a tornado warning means that a tornado might form?
No. A tornado warning means that a tornado is likely to form or has already been spotted.
What is a fire tornado?
a tornado in the form of fire
Is a tornado watch better than a tornado warning?
Yes. A tornado watch simply means that general conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been detected or may form at any moment.
Why tornadoes form in tornado alley?
They form in Tornado Alley for a couple of reasons. One of them is because of the weather. It is humid there. But, tornadoes can also form outside of Tornado Alley. They can form anymore!
What is a wild fire tornado?

What is an electric tornado and how do they form?
