Answer:
Most tornadoes form from thunderstorms. You need warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool, dry air from Canada. When these two air masses meet, they create instability in the atmosphere. ... Rising air within the updraft tilts the rotating air from horizontal to vertical.

The typical steps for the formation of a tornado are as follows:
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
