Question: How are tornadoes caused?
Answer:
Tornadoes occur with thunderstorms. There are a couple of ways that
they form. Most strong and violent tornadoes occur with supercell
thunderstorms. Thunderstorms occur when warm moist air is forced
upward (by the heat of the afternoon sun, a cold front, or other
weather disturbance). If the atmosphere is unstable strong upward
currents called updrafts lift the air until water vapor condenses
forming clouds and precipitation. The falling precipitation causes
a downward air current called a downdraft. So to have thunderstorms
there must be 1) moisture 2) unstable air 3) something to lift the
warm moist air up. But as I mentioned most tornadoes occur with a
special storm type called a supercell. Supercells occur with a
certain wind conditions. Winds that turn from south to west with
height and/or increase rapidly with height (especially in the lowest
several thousand feet of the atmosphere) cause the updraft in a
thunderstorm to rotate. If the updraft is strong enough and the
wind shear is strong enough, a tornado may occur. Supercells also
produce large hail, strong winds and heavy rain.
