A good way to explain how tornadoes form starts with a thunderstorms. Usually these storms form where warm and cold air collide, but not always. If the winds at different heights travel in different directions and at different speed it can make the air in the storm start turning or rotating. If a storm like this is strong enough it is called a supercell. Then, if the right winds occur it can squeeze the rotating air tighter and make it spin faster, forming a tornado.
What else can I help you with?
Do tornadoes usually form from thunderclouds?
Tornadoes can only form during thunderstorms.
Do all tornadoes have to have rain?
No. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorms. Some tornadoes form with low-precipitation supercells, which produce little or no rain.
Do tornadoes form from thunderclouds?
Yes, tornadoes typically form from severe thunderstorms known as supercells. These storms are characterized by rotating updrafts known as mesocyclones, which can produce the conditions necessary for tornado formation. However, not all thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
Do tornadoes only form over land?
No, they can form over water. At that point it is called a tornadic waterspout.
Does it have to rain during a tornado?
No. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorms. Some tornadoes form with low-precipitation supercells, which produce little or no rain.
Can tornadoes form?
Yes, tornadoes can form. Hundreds, even thousands of tornadoes form every year.
Do tornadoes form on mountains?
Tornadoes can form in mountains, but most do not.
Do tornadoes form from stratus clouds?
No. Tornadoes form from cumulonimbus clouds.
Why do tornadoes not form in antarcica?
Antarctica is too cold for tornadoes to form. Tornadoes need energy from warm air.
Do tornadoes come form clouds?
Yes. Tornadoes form from the clouds of a thunderstorm.
Does tornadoes form by land or water?
Tornadoes most often form on land, but they can form over water.
Is various form of energy from tornadoes?
No it does not come from tornadoes . :] .....
What do thunderstorms have to do with Tornadoes?
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form.
What kind of clouds to tornadoes form from?
Tornadoes mostly form from cumulonimbus clouds. :D
What type of wind do tornadoes form from?
Tornadoes usually form from a type of thunderstorm called a supercell. Tornadoes themselves are a unique type of windstorm.
Do tornadoes form in Antarctica?
While they happen everywhere else, tornadoes are not known to form in Antarctica.
Do mostly tornadoes form in updrafts?
Entirely in updrafts. Tornadoes form in the updraft portion of a thunderstorm.
