Best Answer

The cold air wedges underneath a large warm airmass. This causes the warm air to rise up and condensate. The action of the water droplets rubbing together produces a static charge which creates lightning in the storm. The water droplets fall as rain.

Are tornadoes made when the hot and cold are together?

No. The description of hot and cold air coming together is based on an oversimplified scenario often given by the media. A collision of hot and cold air simply results in a front. Fronts, particularly cold fronts where cold air pushes away warm air, often result in stormy weather, but the nature of those storms depends on other conditions. In the summer cold fronts often bring thunderstorms, which may be severe. If the storms are strong enough and the winds are configured in the right way, then some of them might produce tornadoes.
