A tornado undergoes considerable changes in size, shape, and behavior during its life cycie. The tornado usually develops within a cumulonimbus cloud and subsequently extends toward the Ground, We see this stage as a rotating funne Cloud that descends from the cloud base. Wher the rotating column of air reaches the ground, becomes a tornado by definition, Sometimes dus: and debris begin whirling on the ground before the funnel actually touches down, In weak tornadoes Particularly in dry climates, this' ground-level dus: whirl may be visible before the funnel cloud During the tornado's mature stage, the funne reaches its greatest width. It is usually neariy vertical, and most of the time is touching the ground, though skipping may occur along = lengthy path, At this time, the tornado causes severe damage to whatever it encounters. Duri the tomnado’s shrinking stage, the. funnel narrows and tilts away from it's vertical position. Now the path of damage becomes smalier, As the tornad: decays, the funnel stretches into a rope shape and the visible portion becomes ‘contorted anc finally dissipates. This stage is often called the Tope stage because of its appearance. 22.
