Causes Of Tornadoes A tornado is a violent rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground.The intense spinning of a tornado is partly the result of the updrafts and downdrafts in the thunderstorm (caused by the unstable air) interacting with the wind shear, resulting in a tilting of the wind shear to form an upright tornado vortex. The cause of tornadoes and their pattern recently does not involve people and there is no strong evidence that global warming and climate change have to do with it. The severe weather is difficult to track because the reporting systems have changed so much over time. There is not much to prove or support that the severe weather is becoming stronger, more frequent and more widespread during the past fifty years in the United States. double click to changethis text!
