The document provides an overview of tornadoes, including their definition, formation, types, and effects. Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that can cause significant damage and loss of life, often associated with severe thunderstorms. Various tornado classifications and their distinct characteristics are outlined, along with their impacts on the environment and individuals.

3. • A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extent from a
thunderstorm to the ground.
• it’s also called “TIWSTER”.
• These spinning columns of wind can take variety of shapes such as
rope, funnel, cylinders.
• Every tornado must extend downward form cumulonimbus to ground.
• The funnel shaped tornado that haven’t touched the ground are called
”FUNNEL CLOUDS”
WHAT IS TORNADO

4. TORNADO FORMATION
• Causes of tornado formation
• Suitable climatic conditions
• Extremely large thunderstorm
• Supply of wind
• Unstable wind shear

6. Stages of formation of tornado
• Tornado form where there are large difference in atmospheric
pressure.
• Often results during a major storm such as “SUPERCELL”
thunderstorm.
• Supercell is a large rotating thunderstorm which possess mesocyclone
having a ability to updraft massive cloud to rotate inside.

7. Formation of horizontal wind
shear
• Due to vertical difference in wind speed
horizontal wind shear develops.
• Rotating speed increase with height.
• Supply of leads to grow big horizontal rotating
air cylinder.
• It is an important factor in meteorology,
particularly when studying weather systems like
thunderstorms, tornadoes, and general
atmospheric stability.

8. Classification of Tornado
• Week tornado
• Strong tornado
• Violent tornado

9. Other types of tornado
• Supercell Tornado
• Landspout Tornado
• Gustanado
• Waterspouts
• Dust Devil
• Fire Tornado

10. Supercell Tornado
• A supercell tornado is a type of tornado
that forms in association with a supercell
thunderstorm.
• A rotating updraft is a key to the
development of a supercell ,and
eventually a tornado .Once the updraft is
rotating and being fed by warm, moist air
flowing in at ground level, a tornado can
form.

11. Landspout Tornado
• The spinning motion originates near
the ground. waterspouts are similar
to landspouts except they occur over
water.
• The spinning motion originates near
the ground.
• Waterspouts are similar to
landspouts,except they occur over
water.

12. GUSTANADO
• A gustanado is a shallow surface-based vortex which forms within the
downburst emanating form a thunderstorm.

13. Water spouts
• Waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water,or move from land
to water.

14. DUST DEVIL
• Dust devil ,also called sand devil, small,
spinning wind occurring most frequently in
the early afternoon when a land surface is
heating rapidly.
• Dust devils are occasionally made visible by
the full of dust,leaves,or other loose matter
from the surface.

15. Fire tornado
• Fire tornado is a whirlwind induced by
a fire and often (at least partially)
composed of flame or ash.
• These start with a whirl of wind, often
made visible by smoke, and may occur
when intense rising heat and turbulent
wind conditions combine to form
whirling eddies of air.

16. EFFECTS OF TORNADO
• Loss of life
• Property damage
• Effects of nature
• Lightning
• Pyschological effects
