The parts that make up a Tornado...

A Tornado is actually made up of different parts:

  • The Condensation Funnel (the cone looking area of the tornado)
  • The Dust or Debris cloud
  • The "Weak Echo Region" (similar to the eye of a Hurricane)
  • Some tornadoes also have "Subvorticles" which are mini tornadoes within the larger one!
  • "Inflow tail" or "Inflow jet" (only some tornadoes have these) this is where winds outside the main circulation flow inside really fast!
