The definition of wind is: wind is the horizontal movement of air. Does the wind blow to the same height? Like a tornado, isn't it nearly vertical?

The fundamental principle of wind formation is that there is a pressure gradient, and the fundamental reason is that the temperature is different in different places (according to Bernoulli's principle), and the pressure gradient will produce a force to form wind.

The direction of pressure gradient force always points from high pressure to low pressure and is perpendicular to isobar. Air in high pressure should flow out from the center, while air in low pressure should flow in from the outside. The force is horizontal at this time.

In fact, however, the airflow does not flow directly from the center to the center. In the northern hemisphere, the high-pressure airflow rotates clockwise outward. Low pressure air flows counterclockwise. In the southern hemisphere, the high-pressure airflow rotates counterclockwise, while the low-pressure airflow rotates clockwise. This is because when the air begins to move, the geostrophic deflection force is immediately generated and forced to shift to the right side of the movement (northern hemisphere). The southern hemisphere is on the left, just like a whirlpool formed when the bathtub is drained.

Tornadoes are also formed in this way. When the surrounding air is full of rising air in a certain area, it will first turn to form a whirlwind, which will drive the surrounding air to rotate.

That is to say, if there is no earth rotation and no geostrophic deviation, there will be no tornado, only horizontal wind.

In addition, the wind direction of the tornado is not downward. The anemometer is placed horizontally when it is placed. Never seen a vertical one, have you?
