B. Lasts for days
C. Forms over warm ocean waters
D. Rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. It is small in scale, lasts for minutes, and forms over land (unlike tropical cyclones).
Explanation:
Tropical maritime air masses are warm and humid, originating over warm tropical oceans. They bring warm, moist, and often unstable weather, leading to convection and precipitation.
