Warm air rises, resulting in a decrease in air pressure.
Explanation: tornadoes form in strong thunderstorms where warm, moist air rises rapidly (strong updrafts), creating low pressure and helping tighten and intensify rotation (often started by wind shear and tilted into the vertical). The Coriolis effect and an eye are features of much larger cyclones (not tornadoes), and freezing of droplets is not the primary energy source for tornado formation.
