Research Question #2


Q:2 How tornadoes form?


A: A tornado begins is a severe thunderstom called a supercell. A supercell can last longer than a regular t-strom. The same energy that keeps the storm going also produces most tornadoes, the wind coming into the strom starts to swirl and forms a funnel. The air in the funnel spins faster and faster and creates a very low pressure area which sucks more air.

Severe T-storm have cold dry polar air meets warm moist tropical air, this is common in the Tornado Alley. Tornadoes can form any time during the year most form in May more severe ones form earlier because the most dameage is caused in April. The more north you go the peak tornado season is.
