No. It is the other way around. However, only some tornadoes are formed by hurricanes.
Tornados are tiny funnels that spin far faster than hurricanes, but hurricane are hundreds of times larger. TORNADOS ARE NOT CYCLONES. don't get confused between the two.
A thunderstorm will cause a tornado. The thunderstorm clouds are the Cumulonimbus clouds. The majority of thunderstorms that produce tornadoes are in a special class called supercells. These are the most powerful thunderstorms on earth and are noted for having a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone.
A rotating thunderstorm is also known as a supercell.
One indicator that a thunderstorm may produce a tornado is the presence of a rotating wall cloud. This is a large, lowering cloud that exhibits rotation at the base of a thunderstorm. When combined with other factors such as strong winds and changing weather conditions, it may increase the likelihood of tornado formation.
A severe thunderstorm has the potential to spawn a tornado due to the rotating updraft within the storm. Tornadoes are violent, rotating columns of air that extend from a thunderstorm to the ground and can cause significant damage. It's important to take shelter immediately and follow guidance from local authorities during severe weather events.
Most severe thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes. If a tornado is detected or it is believed a storm might produce one a tornado warning is issued, which is more serious than a severe thunderstorm warning. A thunderstorm that produces a tornado is automatically classified as severe even if other severe weather (damaging non-tornadic wind or large hail) does not occur.
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
No, it is the other way around: thunderstorms cause 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.
The air inside a tornadic thunderstorm (a storm that produces a tornado) does spin. But it is that spinning air that causes the tornado, rather than the tornado starting the air spinning.
A tornado descends from the base of a thunderstorm.
a tornado is formed by a thunderstorm
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.
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.
Tornadoes are accompanied by rain, but they do not produce it themselves. Rather, the rain is a product of the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado. Hurricanes produce very heavy rain.
well the thunderstorm builds to a super cell which is a sever thunderstorm then all it needs is a rotation
