How is a Waterspout formed?
waterspout are formed when a center of low air pressure causes wind to whirl, forming rotating cloud. Inside of the cloud is a rotating column of air. When the bottom touches down, it sucks up surface water. When their is a waterspout some smoke is created but it s really a cloud. A waterspout is an intense columnar mass of whirling fluid or air usually appearing as a funnel shape cloud that occurs over a body of water, over a cumulonimbus cloud.
