Question
What air conditions must be present in order for a tornado to form?
Answer
-
Generally, tornados are born out of very violent thunderstorms. There must be a rotation in the clouds at the upper levels of the atmosphere. Also, you typically need flat land to help form a twister. When you get a high pressure gradient between two air masses you get high winds and the potential for tornados.
