tornadoes and supercells
Tornadoes are powerful and destructive vortexes of air that form during severe thunderstorms. They are characterized by a rotating column of rapidly moving air, extending from the cloud to the ground. Supercells, on the other hand, are intense and long-lasting thunderstorms that produce most tornadoes. They are large, rotating thunderstorm systems with strong updrafts and persistent rotating updrafts, providing the conditions necessary for tornado formation.
