You need warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool, dry air from Canada. When these two air masses meet, they create instability in the atmosphere. A change in wind direction and an increase in wind speed with increasing height creates an invisible, horizontal spinning effect in the lower atmosphere. Rising air within the updraft tilts the rotating air from horizontal to vertical. An area of rotation, 2-6 miles wide, now extends through much of the storm. Most strong and violent tornadoes form within this area of strong rotation. What is the difference between a funnel cloud and a tornado? A funnel cloud is a tornado that does not touch the ground. Fastest tornado form: The fastest tornado that formed, formed in 20 secs… In Joplin, MO Would you like to be in that tornado???????????????????????? Bees By Xander They have honey comb made of wax.
