What conditions create storms such as tornadoes and hurricanes, and what effects do these storms have?

- They originate over warmer waters and hence form close to the equator, where ocean and air temperatures tend to be highest. In fact, for these storms to form at all, the water temperature must be 80 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer throughout the first 50 meters below the surface.

- Effects of tornadoes on the environment are devastating, from destroying properties, wildlife, plants, and at times taking people lives. Tornadoes cover fairly smaller areas when compared to other severe winter storms or hurricane, but its damage is normally more ruthless causing harm to property, nature, and deaths.
