Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A horizontally rotating body of air generated by differences in wind speed between low-level and upper-level air flow, also known as wind shear, is thought to be necessary for the development of a tornado. This rotating air can then be further intensified by factors such as hot and humid air at the surface and a strong updraft. B, C, D, and E are not necessarily required for the development of a tornado.
