The area that gets the most tornadoes in the U.S. (or in the world for that matter) is called Tornado Alley.
Tornado Alley.
We call the area of the US that has a high occurrence of tornadoes "Tornado Alley." Tornado Alley includes parts of states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, where tornado activity is more frequent due to the unique weather patterns in the region.
A tornado prone area has a relatively high incidence of tornadoes.
Yes. In fact the country of South Africa is an area of high tornado activity.
The city's population was gripped by yet another springtime occurrence of the flu. The occurrence of an earthquake in an area that never had one left the people shaken and worried. Scientists have found a high occurrence of HIV among drug users who share needles. The principle told the students that if there was another occurrence of fighting in the classroom, the whole class would be expelled.
Michigan has more then the average number of tornadoes compared with other states, with the southern part of the state (where Kalamazoo is) being the most active area. However, activity is not as high as it is on the Great Plains or in the Gulf states.
Pressure differences are the main driving forces for wind. The greater the pressure difference over a given area, the greater the wind speed. Tornadoes produce very low pressure in a very small area.
Yes, most notably the northwest area of Pennsylvania saw an unusually high number of tornadoes. Among these tornadoes was an EF0 tornado that struck Presque Isle State Park near Erie on June 27.
There is a common misconception that the UK experiences a high number of tornadoes due to media coverage and the association of tornadoes with extreme weather. However, compared to tornado-prone regions like the central United States, the UK actually has a relatively low frequency of tornado occurrence. The perception of many tornadoes in the UK is largely due to the fact that tornadoes in the region tend to be relatively weak and do not cause significant damage.
Yes. Tennessee has some of the most violent tornadoes within the US. The state is in the Dixie Alley, which experiences the most violent, strongest, and fastest tornadoes in the US. The Tornado Valley is probably more well known, however, this area just experience more tornadoes, not necessarily more violent ones than the Dixie Valley.
High pressure tends to supress thunderstorms, making tornadoes unlikely to occur.
Tornadoes produce low pressure.
