What Causes A Tornado?

Tornadoes, Storms, Hurricanes, Cyclones, and Tsunamis all have one thing in common. They leave many lives in disaster.

Thus it makes them very essential to learn how they occur and see of we could do any thing to avoid being victim for those. Natural calamities couldn’t be stopped by humans yet. That it is why they are so disastrous.

Tornado is one of the violent calamities. These are most frequent in US found mostly in spring and summer seasons. It is estimated that around 800 tornadoes hit US every year. The facts of tornado are also very astonishing. On average tornadoes in US are around 500 feet across and stay on ground for 5 miles. There is a certain type of tornado called wedge tornado which can rise to at least a mile wider. It is our luck that the violent tornadoes don’t stay for more than hour most of the times. But within that short span of time, the havoc they create is terrible.
