Tornadoes are rapidly rotating columns of air that extend from a thunderstorm to the ground. They form when warm, moist air near the Earth's surface meets cooler, dry air above, creating instability in the atmosphere. This instability, combined with wind shear (a change in wind speed and direction with height), c...
