Three basic ingredients are required for a thunderstorm to form: moisture, rising/unstable air, and a lifting mechanism to force this rising air higher and faster.
Yes. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms, usually supercells.
No. Thunderstorms form from cumulonimbus,bus clouds, which in turn form from cumulus clouds. Status clouds are not convective. Thunderstorms need convection to form.
Thunderstorms form high up in the sky (troposphere). They typically form over land, but not necessarily.
Thunderstorms form in Florida the same way that they form everywhere else in the world. See the answer for "How does a thunderstorm form?" in the links below.

Yes. Thunderstorms can form over both land and water.
No. Thunderstorms form from cumulonimbus,bus clouds, which in turn form from cumulus clouds. Status clouds are not convective. Thunderstorms need convection to form.
Thunderstorms form in the troposphere. The tops of strong thunderstorms may go into the stratosphere.
Thunderstorms form high up in the sky (troposphere). They typically form over land, but not necessarily.
No. Tornadoes are violent whirlwinds that can form during thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms form in Florida the same way that they form everywhere else in the world. See the answer for "How does a thunderstorm form?" in the links below.
Yes. Tornadoes form during severe thunderstorms. They cannot form without them.
Unequal heating is usually needed for thunderstorms to form. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms require moist air to form. That is where the rain comes from.
