Tornadoes form when warm, wettish air collides with cool, dry air, generally when the cool air moves into an area formerly warmed by the sun. The thick cool air forces the warm air to rise, causing it to cool and condense into shadows. The condensation process releases heat, making the air rise indeed briskly. This quick upward movement produces a whirlpool, which is a rotating column of air that may move at over to 300 long hauls per hour.
