Dust devils form at surface while tornadoes result from thunderstorms
Dust devils VS Tornadoes 🌪- Dust Devils form at the surface from swirling winds, while tornadoes are the result on thunderstorm activity. During convective thunderstorm activity, strong updrafts can begin to rotate (that's called a mesocycle) and at the base of the cloud a funnel of water vapor and droplets form.
Based on the degree of damage left behind, it is estimated that the dust devil produced winds as high as 75 mph (120 km/h), which is equivalent to an EF-0 tornado.
