What makes thunderstorms happen?

A thunderstorm does not become a tornado, it produces them. How exactly thunderstorm produce tornadoes, but this is the best theory so far. First you need a special kind of thunderstorm called a supercell. This is a powerful, rotating thunderstorm. The rotation is especially strong at an updraft called a mesocyclone. If the strong strengthens fast enough a special kind of downdraft may descend from the back of the storm and wrap around the bottom part of the mesocyclone. This forces it to become smaller and can bring it down to the ground. As the rotation gets smaller it speeds up, producing a tornado.


WhAT TYPE of storm makes tornadoes?

A Supercell, which is a type of strong rotating thunderstorm.


What are the 4 months of summer?

A Year has 12 months. There are 4 season in a Year, spring, summer, autumn, winter. 12/4=3 (NOT 4) So there CANNOT be 4 months of summer, your question therefore makes no sense and thus can not be answered.


When does a funnel cloud become a tornado?

A funnel cloud becomes a tornado when it makes contact with the ground. Until that point, it is just a rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm cloud. Once it touches down, it is classified as a tornado.


Does falling leaves cause erosion?

Falling leaves themselves do not cause erosion. However, leaves can contribute to the build-up of sediment which can lead to erosion if not managed properly. Leaves can block drainage channels or form dams that divert water flow, increasing the chances of erosion during heavy rain events.
