when you apply the brakes the rotor absorbs the head from friction. the rotor is suppose to dissipate the heat evenly. you can warp your rotor by applying the brake to hard and creating to much heat to often which warps the rotor. the rotor will then cool down to quick and stay warped.
another way to warp your rotor is when the wheels are tightened unequally and and to tight. this creates an uneven braking and heats up unevenly
