A tornado is known as a violent air storm consisting of vertical paths of air rotating violently and extending from a strong thunderstorm to the surface of the earth, and because the winds are not visible, we cannot see a tornado unless a condensation funnel is formed, which is composed of droplets Water, dust and debris.

One of the places where cyclones are most active is southern North America, especially in the spring, due to the convergence of cold, dry winds coming from the north with warm, moist winds coming from the Gulf of Mexico.

Tornadoes are considered an unusual atmospheric phenomenon in Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Peninsula, but they occur with severe thunderclouds, over a specific area, and their life is short, so the movement of the upward winds inside the thundercloud is very violent, as it rotates in a spiral shape.
