Transcript
Tornadoes are like a giant, swirlin' dance happenin' right in the sky! First, we've got WARM AIR risin' up high, just like the steam you see floatin' over a yummy bowl of hot soup. But then, COLD AIR comes rushin' in like a chilly ice cube to meet that heat! When they bump into each other, they start SPINNIN' WIND faster and faster, turnin' round and round like a top! That spinny wind grows into a long FUNNEL CLOUD, reachin' down from the sky like a giant elephant's trunk lookin' for a snack. When it finally makes its TOUCH DOWN on the grass, it kicks up dust and rumbles! It's just the earth's way of havin' a big, windy adventure. Tiny Concepts.
