How Tornadoes Form

It all starts with thunderstorms. When hot air rises from the ground and causes clouds to rise. The air cools, and the water releases or forms droplets. While the water is condensing, heat is produced. The air become hotter which causes an updraft of air and a causes low pressure area under the thunderstorm. Clouds change into cumulonimbus clouds, the water droplets start to unite with each other and the clouds become heavier and water starts to freeze. While ice falls, it melts and turns into rain which creates a downdraft. The down and up drafts creates wind and the positive and negative charges combine to make lightning which may possibly form tornadoes.
