In some cases, a thunderstorm can produce hail, but not all thunderstorms result in hail.
Can a tornado be caused by thunderstorm?
Yes, tornadoes can be caused by thunderstorms. Specifically, tornadoes can form within supercell thunderstorms, which are intense rotating thunderstorms that have the potential to produce tornadoes due to the combination of wind shear and instability in the atmosphere.
