What Caused the Tornado?


The tornado was caused by the atmosphere. When a cold front meets warm air, it creates a horizontal spinning effect in the lower atmosphere. This vortex is then pulled up by the cooler air in the higher  atmosphere, searching for moisture. Next, it picks up speed and power as it joins the cloud of a thunderstorm, creating a tornado. Tornadoes are probably one of the most damaging and dangerous natural disasters.

 

 




The tornado caused dirt and debris from the damaged and collapsed buildings to circulate in the environment, creating pollution.
