What is the first step in forming a tornado
Large Thunderstorms
What is the Coriolis Effect

How long would it take for a small puddle of water at room temperature to start to evaporate.
Hurricanes can form and become stronger a lot easier now. Why is this?
Because global warming causes the waters to become warmer and the air to become moist which means the hurricane can get more energy easier
