Tornadoes are typically associated with mesocyclones, which are rotating thunderstorm updrafts. They can occur in other parts of the world outside North America, but they are most frequent in the United States. Once a tornado reaches the ground, it is no longer called a funnel cloud. Tornadoes and hurricanes are related to each other, but tornadoes are not created by hurricanes moving over land.
