There are some impact. One is the rain shadow effect. Tornadoes are spawned by thunderstorms, which require moisture. The area downwind of a mountain range tends to be dry, which often makes severe thunderstorms and thus tornadoes less common. In rugged terrain, mountains can inhibit thunderstorms from organizing, which also reduced the likelihood of tornadoes.

How do the mountains or plains affect jobs in Florida?
There are no mountains in Florida. The highest elevation in the state is a bit more than 300 feet.
Does climate change affect the occurrence of tornadoes?
Possibly. There is some evidence that the most frequent tornado activity in Tornado Alley has shifted northward.
Could tornadoes cause global warming?
No. While global warming might affect tornado activity, tornadoes themselves are an end product of weather and climatic activity, not a cause.
Do the mountains make the rain come out of the clouds?
Yes, the elevation of mountains creates a climatic zone that helps stimulate cloud production and rain. However, this does not necessary mean it will rain because there are mountains. A drought can still affect the higher elevations.
Can lightning stop a tornado?
No, lightning has little to no affect on a tornado.
Which of these factors has the greatest influence on the temperature of an area?
The things that affect climate are global winds, ocean currents, distance to water, topography, latitude, and elevation.
Who does a tornado affect?
