Answer:
A thunderstorm is a fast-rising column of air which produces heavy rain, wind, lightning, and sometimes hail. A tornado is a violently rotating column of rising air which is spawned by and is always attached to the bottom of a rotating thunderstorm. Thunderstorms last a lot longer than tornadoes.
Explanation:
A thunderstorm is a storm with strong-enough updrafts and downdrafts that strong static electricity charges develop, leading to lightning. The extremely-rapid heating of air during a thunderstorm produces thunder.
Tornadoes develop during some, but not all, thunderstorms. They are a rapidly-spinning updraft, reducing air pressure sufficiently around their base that buildings can explode due to the outside air pressure now being considerably less than the inside air pressure. They also hurl debris long distances. They are much more destructive than regular thunderstorms.
