A tornado forms from thunderstorms. The thunderstorm starts turning because the wind at different heights is going in different directions and at different speeds. Sometimes this turning in the storm gets focused into a smaller area and starts spinning faster, becoming a tornado.

A tornado is formed when warm, moist air meets cold, dry air, creating an unstable atmosphere. This causes the warm air to rise rapidly, forming a rotating column of air. If this rotating column touches the ground, it becomes a tornado.
