A rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm reaching down to the ground that rotates violently is termed as a tornado.
The tornado is shaped like a funnel that extends from the thunderstorm and usually has a whirlwind of debris and dust rotating in it.
The tornadoes usually rotate with a speed of about less than 110 miles per hour and can travel for a few miles before disappearing.
Tornadoes can be produced simultaneously or they can also be produced in succession and can cause destruction of various things that come in this path.
Tornadoes can occur in various places such as America, Europe, Africa and New Zealand.
