A whirling funnel-shaped cloud over land with very low pressure at the funnel bottom is called a tornado. Tornadoes are characterized by their rotating winds and can cause significant damage due to their high wind speeds. They typically form during severe thunderstorms and are often associated with supercell storms. The intensity of a tornado is measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale.

Why is a tornado's funnel wide at the top and narrow at the bottom?

The funnel of a tornado consists of water droplets which condese as a result of a temperature drop inside the tornado that results from the low pressure. Temperature decreases with increasing heght, alowing more water vapor to condense.
