The formation of tornadoes is complicated.
First, a condition called wind shear, in which the speed or direction of the wind changes with altitude. If the shear is strong enough it can essentially tilt a thunderstorm, this separates the updraft and downdraft of the thunderstorm, preventing them from interfering with one another. This allows the storm to become stronger and last longer.
Additionally, if the wind shear is strong enough it can start the air rolling in what is called horizontal vorticity. This horizontal vorticity can then be turned vertical by a thunderstorm's updraft. When this happens, the thunderstorm may start rotating. The rotation is especially strong in an updraft called a mesocyclone. If the storm intensifies rapidly enough, a relatively warm downdraft called a rear-flank downdraft or RFD can wrap around the bottom part of the mesocyclone. This can then tighten and intensify its rotation and bring it down to the ground to produce a tornado.
No. Tornadoes occur naturally.
Tornadoes are made of air necause they are a weather phenomenon and occur within Earth's atmosphere, which is made of air.
Tornadoes are caused from highly dangerous thunderstorms.
Tornadoes are storms, and thus naturally occurring.
There are multivortex tornadoes that at times can look like they are made up of two or more tornadoes
No. Tornadoes are made from interactions of wind currents and pressure differences within a thunderstorm. Electricity plays no role.
Tornado-like whirlwinds made of fire are called firewhirls. Meteorologists do not consider them to be true tornadoes.
Tornadoes can cause catastrophic damage to vegetation and man-made structures.
Tornadoes do not produce gasses. They are made of air and do not change its composition.
There are no tornadoes that are made of water, but tornadoes do touch down on water fairly often. Tornadoes on water are called waterspouts.
Because God made them
Tornadoes, with relatively little warning, can rip through man made structures, tearing them apart, bending them up and destroying them. Tornadoes are capable of lifting cars and tossing them. Tornadoes are capable of ripping roofs right off of houses and buildings.
