The appears to be asking about multiple vortex tornadoes. The process of how a tornado becomes multiple vortex is called vortex breakdown. Thi occurs when the wind in a tornado is spinning so fast that it cannot reach the center. The low pressure instead draws air down the middle. This causes the tornado to expand. When the downward moving air reaches the ground it spreads out. Complex interactions between this outward moving air and air flowing into the tornado leads to the formation of smaller vortices within the tornado.

What characteristic of a supercell would contribute to tornado formation?
The rotation in a supercell is what leads to tornado formation.
Wind shear can result in the formation of a?
Wind shear can result in the formation of a tornado.
Wind shear can cause a formation of what?
wind shear causes the formation of a tornado if you have a strong thunderstorm.
What naturual disaster is caused by a tornado?
A tornado does not cause a natural disaster. It is a natural disaster.
Is a tornado caused by geological events?
No. Tornadoes are caused by meteorologic (weather) events.
What would the formation of a tornado be?
The formation of a tornado is called tornadogenesis.
Is rain part of the tornado's formation?
Yes it is. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, and a downdraft caused by rain is one of the things needed to produce the tornado.
What characteristic of a supercell would contribute to tornado formation?
The rotation in a supercell is what leads to tornado formation.
What is the most destructive elements of Joplin?
The Joplin tornado of 2011 was a Multiple-vortex tornado. Inside the main circulation were smaller vortices that packed stronger winds than the rest of the tornado. These subvortices are what caused the most severe damage.
What are most injuries caused by in a tornado?
Most injuries in a tornado are caused by flying debris.
Wind shear can result in the formation of a?
Wind shear can result in the formation of a tornado.
What cloud is associated with tornado formation?
Cumulonimbus
Is wind shear the cause of a tornado?
Not directly, but it is a very important component in tornado formation.
In intro to earth the formation of a tornado would be examined in this discipline?
Since a tornado is a severe weather event, the formation of one would be studied in meteorology.
The formation of a tornado would be examined in this discipline?
Meteorolgy :)
Wind shear can cause a formation of what?
wind shear causes the formation of a tornado if you have a strong thunderstorm.
Does it take almost an hour for a tornado to form?
yes it can cause tornado formation can take time in an area
