Question

How are tornadoes created?

Answer 1

A large thunderstorm occurs in a cumulonimbus cloud

A change in wind direction and wind speed at high altitudes causes the air to swirl horizontally

Rising air from the ground pushes up on the swirling air and tips it over

The funnel of swirling air begins to suck up more warm air from the ground

The funnel grows longer and stretches toward the ground

When the funnel touches the ground it becomes a tornado
