It is called Tornado Alley.
There are tornadoes in India. In fact they are not uncommon in the northeastern part of the country. However, high poverty rates and a lack of a network of Doppler Radars means that the vast majority of these tornadoes are never documented.

Tornadoes are not part of a hurricane, but they can happen during a hurricane. Tornadoes in hurricanes tend to be weaker and more short-lived compared to standalone tornadoes, and they form under different conditions. They are often associated with landfalling hurricanes and occur as a result of the intense weather patterns within the storm.
Tornadoes are the most violent storms on Earth. As such a tornado will usually be the most violent part of its parent storm.
Since official record keeping began in 1950 the state of Iowa has recorded 2212 tornadoes. It should be noted that in the number of actual tornadoes is probably much higher as in the earlier part of this period the majority of weak tornadoes were missed.
Tornadoes can occur in any part of North Carolina, but the central and eastern regions of the state, including areas like the Piedmont and Coastal Plain, are more prone to experiencing tornadoes due to favorable atmospheric conditions. Tornadoes can also occur in the western part of the state, particularly in the Appalachian Mountains foothills.
Tornadoes can happen in just about any part of the world that gets thunderstorms. Places that see a relatively high incidence of tornadoes include the United States, Canada, Australia, Bangladesh, India, South Africa, and Argentina.
Tornadoes can occur in all regions of Virginia, but they are most common in the western and central parts of the state, particularly in the Appalachian Mountains. Tornadoes can also occur in the Tidewater and Piedmont regions, although they are less frequent.
Tornadoes have occurred in all 50 states. However. Most tornadoes happen in or near the area known as tornado alley, which extends north from Texas to South Dakota and includes parts of some adjacent states.
Since records began in 1950 through 2011 (data so for 2012 is not finalized) there have been 1181 recorded tornadoes in North Carolina. The actual number is probably significantly higher as the majority of weak tornadoes were missed in the earlier part of this period.
This part of the storm is referred to as the rain bands.
No. It is too cold in Antarctica for tornadoes.
