A tornado originates from a much larger but less intense circulation called a mesocyclone, located in the updraft area of a thunderstorm. Under the right conditions, a downdraft can wrap around a portion of the mesocyclone, causing it to become narrower. Since angular momentum must be conserved, as the rotation becomes narrower, it must also become faster. This leads to the relatively small but very intense circulation that we call a tornado.

How fast does an EF6 tornado spin at?
There is no such thing as an EF6 tornado. Estimated winds for an EF5 tornado start at just over 200 mph and have no upper bound.
Why are the winds of a tornado so fast?
It is due to something called the conservation of angular momentum. When something is spinning and you pull it into a smaller radius, it speeds up. Tornadoes form when a mesocyclone, the rotating updraft of a thunderstorm, is squeezed into a tighter, more intense circulation.
How many times can a tornado spin in just 1 minute?
That is highly variable and there is no single answer. A small but intense tornado can rotate 60 or more times in a minute. At the other end a very large tornado might not even complete a full rotation in a minute, at least on the outside. This if further complicated by the fact that a tornado usually spins faster near its center than at its edges.
What way does the tornado wind blow?
The winds in a tornado spin, so the wind itself can come from any direction. Except for rare cases, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
When the tornado hits the ground how fast can it spin?
Tornado wind speeds can vary greatly, but they typically spin at speeds between 110 to 300 mph (177 to 483 km/h) at the surface. However, some tornadoes have been known to reach speeds of over 300 mph.
What is the analysis of a tornado in a bottle?
you spin the bottle fast and stop
How do you do the Tornado?
The TornadoSimultaneously spin quickly, jump high, and kick fast.
What is fast in spin and fast out spin in cricket?
There is no such bowling style as 'fast in spin' or 'fast out spin in'.
Do hurricanes spin slower then tornado?
no
How do hurricanes spin so fast?
because it does haha!
Why can Sonic spin?
Sonic can spin because he runs so fast it looks like he is spinning.
How do you get the tornado spin in castle crashers?
Actually the tornado spin is a magic attack. Each character has it's own magic. The Arabian knight and the bear have the tornado. It's their Y magic attack.
Does a tornado cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
Which is bigger a twister or a tornado?
Neither; they are the same thing. A tornado is known as a twister because they spin.
How fast does an EF6 tornado spin at?
There is no such thing as an EF6 tornado. Estimated winds for an EF5 tornado start at just over 200 mph and have no upper bound.
What direction does a tornado spin in the southern hemisphere?
Most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
Why don't tornadoes cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?
The air inside a tornadic thunderstorm (a storm that produces a tornado) does spin. But it is that spinning air that causes the tornado, rather than the tornado starting the air spinning.
