Tornado True False

Violent thunderstorms called supercells can cause tornadoes when warm and cool air collide, creating low clouds and updrafts that twist due to high winds. Constant twisting of updrafts and downdrafts, with rain-cooled air pushed down and warm air pushed up, can create tornadoes, though not all supercell thunderstorms are tornado producers. There are over 10,000 tornadoes reported in the United States each year.
