Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tornadoes are most likely to form in flat regions, such as the Great Plains in the United States, where warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico collides with cool, dry air from Canada. The flat terrain allows for the development of supercell thunderstorms, which can produce tornadoes. Mountainous regions and coastal regions typically do not have the right conditions for tornado formation. Tornadoes can form over the ocean, but they are much less common than over land.
