Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

Strong winds aloft establish spinning. Updraft from the thunderstorm development tilts the rotating air mass, causing a mesocyclone to form as a rotating updraft within the thunderstorm. As moisture-laden air is drawn-up into the circulation of a mesocyclone, energy is released by condensation, and the rotation speed increases. This movement may form a smaller funnel cloud. If the funnel cloud lowers to the Earth, a tornado results. The intensity is ranked based on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which is an estimate of wind speed based on damage. It goes of EF 0 to EF 5.
