ทอร์นาโด

Also known as tornadoes, whirlwind, twister

A tornado, also known as a twister, is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends vertically from the surface of the Earth to the base of a cumulonimbus or cumulus cloud. Tornadoes are often (but not always) visible in the form of a condensation funnel originating from the cloud base, with a cloud of rotating debris and dust close to the ground. Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than , are about across, and travel several kilometers (a few miles) before dissipating. The most extreme tornadoes can attain wind speeds of more than , can be more than in diameter, and can stay on the ground f

AI overview

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from the ground up to a cloud base, often visible as a funnel with swirling debris and dust. Tornadoes matter because they can be dangerous and destructive—while most are relatively small and short-lived, the most extreme ones can produce very high wind speeds and cause significant damage over large areas.
