    This is the best explanation I have seen.
    The one thing I would add is that as the horizontal vortex is tilted upwards, it stretches and lengthens. This causes the vortex to rotate faster because the same amount of energy is being concentrated into a smaller space. This is similar to how a figure skater spins faster when they pull their arms in toward their body.

    Outstanding explanation! My science teacher dithered around for weeks and left us more confused than when we started. Much appreciated

    The best explanation, to the point, is how it tilts. This is what most want to know graphically.

    Okay there’s a lot of misinformation here. The rear flank down draft is what actually forms the funnel cloud. Also good point to note is the main updraft actually does push the tube of spinning air upward but it looks more like a bent tube then a vertical one and also the tornado can form on either end of the tube of air so imagine ts like this ⬆️=updraft the tornado can form on either side.
    = = =
    = =
    =. ⬆️ =
    ==. ⬆️ ==
    🌪️ ⬆️ 🌪️
    Next thing to point out is that tornados start from the ground not from the air. That’s why you you often see debris swirling on the ground as the funnel cloud is forming.

      Very interesting. I thought that tornadoes always descended but it seems that almost half of all tornadoes were detected first near the ground and grew upward or appeared nearly simultaneously. The non-descending tornadoes appear to happen more often in the Southeastern US.

    I’ve listen to many explanations on how tornados get rotation but tilting I have never heard of that.
