Thunderstorms are what produce tornadoes
A tornado descends from the base of a thunderstorm.
a tornado is formed by a thunderstorm
Yes. A tornado can be though of as part of a larger parent thunderstorm, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
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.
A tornado
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.
A mesocyclone is a rotating updraft within a thunderstorm, usually a supercell. Under the right conditions a mesocyclone will tighten and intensify to produce a tornado. The majority of tornadoes form this way.

Hurricanes themselves are much larger than any thunderstorm or tornado.
Yes. A tornado can be though of as part of a larger parent thunderstorm, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
A tornado is a type of wind storm characterized by a rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes are usually associated with strong and damaging winds that can reach speeds exceeding 200 mph, causing widespread destruction in their path.
well the thunderstorm builds to a super cell which is a sever thunderstorm then all it needs is a rotation
A rotating thunderstorm is also known as a supercell.
It is often dark during a tornado not because of the tornado itself, but becasue of the parent thunderstorm. The thunderstorm consists of a very tall cumulonimbus cloud, which blocks out most sunlight.
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
A storm can't turn into a tornado, it a thunderstorm can produce one.
