It can affect wind by moving faster due to gravity

∙ 11y agoDensity is not directly related to tornadoes, but it does play a role in how they form.
Cold air is denser than warm air and dry air is denser than moist air. When a dry and moist or a warm and cold air mass collide the less dense air mass is forced upwards and the moisture in it condenses. It is by the process that the thunderstorms that spawn tornadoes usually form.

What are the 3 general categories of tornadoes?
Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.
Is it tornadoes or tornados?
Obviously it is tornadoes not tornados tornado is singular while tornadoes are plural
Does the sun have tornadoes?
Enormous vortices have been observed on the sun that resemble tornadoes. They have been called "solar tornadoes" but they are not tornadoes by the meteorological definition.

No, we can simulate tornadoes using fans but we cannot create actual tornadoes.
Do they have tornadoes in Louisiana?
Yes. Louisiana has tornadoes. Tornadoes can happen anywhere in the United States. Although, tornadoes are more common in Tornado Alley. In number of recorded tornadoes, Louisiana ranks 12th among the states.
Which is a density independent factor in controlling a poputation?
Tornadoes
What states have the lowest incidences for tornadoes?
In terms of tornado density, the states west of the Rockies have the lowest incidence of tornadoes, with Alaska at the bottom of the list.
Can tornadoes hit densely populated areas?
Yes. Population density does not affect the likelihood of a tornado striking. Many tornadoes have hit cities.
Does density have to do with tornadoes forming?
Yes. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms. Thunderstorms form as a result of warm air rising through cooler, denser air.
Are the American tornadoes the worst in the world?
They are generally the strongest but not necessarily the worst. The two deadliest tornadoes on record ocurred in Bangladesh. The tornadoes in Bangladesh are not necessarily stronger than thoese in the United States, but the lack of a warning system, high population density, poor construction methods, and a high rate of poverty in Bangladesh excacerbate the effects of natural disasters such as tornadoes.
which is a density-independent factor in controlling a population?
Tornadoes
What does gravity have to do with tornadoes?
Air masses of low density tend to rise because they are less strongly affected by gravity than cool air masses. Rising warm air masses is the primary cause of convection on earth. Thunderstorms are a product of convection. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms.

What do they call tornadoes in US?
Tornadoes in the U.S. are called tornadoes.
Is there any extreme tornadoes?
It depends on what you mean by extreme. Tornadoes of EF4 and EF5 tornadoes, however are often referred to as violent tornadoes. These account for about 1% of all tornadoes.
Names of known Tornadoes?
Tornadoes don't get named, Hurricanes do, but Tornadoes don't.
Does Floridas have tornadoes?
