Teacher: A tornado is a violent storm with very strong wind that goes quickly around in a circle or funnel.
Peter: Where do tornadoes come from?
Teacher: Tornadoes come from the energy released in a thunderstorm.
Susan: So where do they occur?

Peter: Can they be predicted?
Teacher: Yes, they can be predicted but only to a limited extent. Scientific research has revealed that tornadoes usually form under certain types of atmospheric conditions. Those conditions can be predicted, but not
