Will Funing tornado cause an earthquake?

Tornado is the strongest vortex phenomenon in the atmosphere. It is a strong wind vortex with small range and strong wind force extending from the bottom of thunderstorm cloud to the ground or water surface. Summer often occurs in thunderstorm weather, especially in the afternoon to evening. Although the scope of influence is small, it is extremely destructive.

Water vapor rises to the sky and condenses to form clouds. At high altitude, the temperature of the cloud is relatively low, and the surrounding water vapor is constantly cooling and shrinking, so that the water vapor in the surrounding air constantly supplements the remaining space reduced by condensation. Because the water vapor rising under the cloud rises linearly, the water vapor molecules are cooled during the rising process, and the volume shrinkage is getting smaller and smaller, and it gradually becomes funnel-shaped due to the geostrophic bias. At this time, the gas molecules under the cloud are constantly replenished into the space, and the pressure difference is getting bigger and bigger, resulting in strong winds, and the gas in some surrounding spaces is uneven, forming a tornado.

Strong cyclone produced by funnel-shaped clouds (tornadoes) extending from the bottom of thunderstorm clouds to the ground, its wind power can reach more than 12 meters, and the maximum can reach more than 120 meters per second. Usually accompanied by thunderstorms, sometimes accompanied by hail. It is a strong convective weather and will not cause an earthquake.
