No. While most tornadoes rotate in a direction that matches earth's (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern), a small percentage go against this. The origin of the spin in tornadoes is not directly related to earth's rotation. Most tornadoes also move in an easterly direction, but not always.

Have there always been tornadoes?
Yes. Or at least there have probably been tornadoes for as long has Earth has had approximately the same atmosphere that it has now.
How can tornadoes affect bodies of water?
Tornadoes have a minimal affect on oceans. A tornado on the ocean is called a waterspout. Waterspouts lift some water into the air but not much and can occasionally suck up fish that stray too close to the surface. The main effect of waterspouts is that they can pose a threat to boats in the area.

Why is one face of the moon always seen?
This is because the moon's rotation on its own axis exactly matches its rotation around the earth, meaning the same face of the moon is always facing the earth

What is the one rotation on the Moon's axis?
Since the moon always has the same side facing earth -- has always been so, I guess? -- one rotation is equal to one revolution around the earth, so about 28 earth days.
In which direction does the earth always turn?
The Earth always rotates from west to east, which means the direction of rotation is eastward. This rotation gives us day and night as different parts of the Earth face the Sun.

What is the moon rotation and revolution?
The Moon always keeps the same side facing Earth so its rotation period is the same as its period of revolution around the Earth. These periods are both about 27.3 Earth days.
