Tornadoes:

=> Tornadoes are formed when cold air packet meets a warm air packet.

=> The warmer wind having more speed and more energy starts climbing over the cool air packet.

=> When the warm Wind rises it leads to formation of large cumulonimbus clouds and heavy rainfall associated with huge thunderstorm.

=> When the clouds becomes too heavy it falls to a particular location causing massive damage.

=> Tornadoes formation mechanism is similar to that of Cyclones.

=> But unlike cyclones which are found on ocean, tornadoes are formed on land.

=> Tornadoes occur in many places across the globe, but they are most likely to form in the United States.

=> In fact, the United States has more tornadoes each year than any other country.

Why?

=> The moist, warm air from the Gulf of Mexico frequently meets the cool, dry air from Canada, which prompts formation of Tornadoes.
