How does the formation of a tornado occur?
A tornado forms when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating instability in the atmosphere. This causes the air to rotate and form a spinning column of air. If the conditions are right, the spinning column can grow into a tornado, with strong winds and a funnel-shaped cloud.
What do you do if you get stuck in a tornado?
Seek shelter. If you can get yourself underground, that's the best place to be.
