What Features of the Earth Involves with Tornadoes?
The hot and cold air get mixed together to form a funnel. Since the hot and cold air mixes there would be different wind speeds at different heights. There usually has to be a super cell to form a tornado.

Different Types of Tornados? Tornadoes: Form over land Dust Devils Water Spouts: Over Water

What are dust devils? Dust devils are tornadoes that form
over deserts. Dust devils spin at a rate of 45 mphs.
