A rotating updraft, or supercell
A basic condition required for a thunderstorm to form is the presence of warm, moist air rising rapidly into the atmosphere. As this air rises, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of cumulonimbus clouds which can develop into thunderstorms. Additional factors like instability in the atmosphere and a trigger mechanism, such as a cold front or sea breeze, can also contribute to the development of thunderstorms.
Cold dense air often converges with warm, moist air to form a thunderstorm. The warm air rises and cools, creating instability and leading to the development of thunderstorm clouds.
The formation of a thunderstorm requires an area of unstable air, its motion due to convection currents. The moisture in this heated air will be carried aloft and condense, releasing heat to power the thunderstorm. A thunderstorm needs a lifting force, and moisture in the lower to mid-levels of the atmosphere.
No, tornadoes typically form within severe thunderstorms that have strong updrafts and rotating air. The intense vertical motion within a thunderstorm is necessary for creating the conditions that can lead to tornado formation.
Tornadoes can form quickly within a thunderstorm and pose a significant threat to life and property due to their strong winds and destructive potential. Being aware of tornado warnings and taking precautions can help you stay safe in case a tornado does develop during a thunderstorm.
Humans.
Because only the the energy involved in a thunderstorm or developing thunderstorm is enough to form something as strong as a tornado.
The entire thunderstorm is a cumulonimbus cloud.
No. A supercell is a type of thunderstorm. Most thunderstorms are not supercells.
Yeah... The thunderstorm caused the power to go out. The thunderstorm startled the dog. The weatherman warned that a thunderstorm was on its way.
Usually a thunderstorm, but depending on the temperature a tornado can also form.

cumulonimbus cloud
Yes. All tornadoes form in thunderstorms.
Cumulonimbus clouds
Yes. Tornadoes form from the clouds of a thunderstorm.
