Tornadoes form from powerful thunderstorms and are created by a combination of wind shear (a change in wind direction and/or speed with height) and instability in the atmosphere. The rotating winds within a tornado are caused by the interactions between the updrafts and downdrafts within a thunderstorm, and can be influenced by the surrounding landscape and topography. Ultimately, the specific factors that cause a tornado to turn are complex and not fully understood, but the overall meteorological conditions that create tornadoes involve a complex interplay of temperature, humidity, wind patterns, and other physical factors in the atmosphere.
