∙ 8y agoA tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. It is the most violent type of windstorm on earth. These winds are driven by a large pressure drop within the storm comparable to that of a hurricane but over a much shorter distance. They are often made visible by a condensation funnel and a cloud of dust and/or debris. They can be very destructive, in some cases destroying entire towns.
