If they appear at all, they're larger than they "really are", because they don't actually exist in the sense of being physical objects.
Maybe you're asking a different question related to a particular type of map projection? If so, which one?

Mapping a 3D object using 2D technology always distorts the relative size of the object and its features. A globe may give you a more true idea of the size of land near -- North -- or under -- South -- the poles. You can shop for a true, continental true-size 2D map and review the actual size of continents compared with each other.

In what sort of regions do tornadoes appear?
Tornadoes typically appear in regions known as Tornado Alley in the central United States, as well as in other parts of North America, Europe, South Africa, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand. These regions usually have the right mix of atmospheric conditions for tornado formation, such as warm, moist air colliding with cool, dry air.
