Characteristics
Tornado generally apperes in funnel shape
Most Tornadoes have wind speeds between 40km/h and 110km/h.
Majority if Tornadoes in the world occur in the Tornado Alley region of the United States also occur in North America, South Africa, South-Centeral and eastren Asia,Australia,New Zealand,Philippines.

Continued
At each year more then1000 Tornadoes hit the united states
A typical tornado travels at around 10-20 miles per hour.
Most tornadoes occur during the months of May, June, July and August in the late afternoon and evenings

Continued
Tornadoes generally travel from the southwest at an average speed of 70 miles per hour.
Torando rotates in circle in a counter clockwise direction.
Scientests generally this roatation is called mesocyclone.
A tornado is also commonly referred to as a "twister".
The term "cyclone" is used as a synonymfor "tornado"

Torando formation
Most tornadoes form from thunderstorms.
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.

Continued
A change in wind direction and an increase in wind speed with increasing height creates an invisible, horizontal spinning effect in the lower atmosphere.
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.

Types of tornadoes
A waterspout is a tornado over water. A few form from supercell thunderstorms, but many form from weak thunderstorms or rapidly growing cumulus clouds. Waterspouts are usually less intense and causes far less damage.

Continued Generally weaker than a supercell tornado, a landspout is not associated with a wall cloud or mesocyclone. It may be observed beneath cumulonimbus or towering cumulus clouds and is the land equivalent of a water support 2.Land support
