Thunderstorms form high up in the sky (troposphere). They typically form over land, but not necessarily.

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 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 from thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms are more likely to form in areas that have large water bodies like the seas and lakes. Places that experience the convectional rainfall is the place that will experience thunderstorms on a regular basis.
Cumulonimbus clouds form thunderstorms.
Yes. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms, usually supercells.
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form.
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.
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.
Generally not. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms called supercells, which form under similar conditions to ordinary thunderstorms and as anybody can tell you, thunderstorms don't need to form over an ocean. That said, some tornadoes do form on the ocean.
