Tornadoes can form in most parts of the world and over almost any terrain. They are somewhat more likely to form over flat areas, but contrary to popular belief, they can and do strike hilly and mountainous areas. Tornado activity is influenced more by climate than by topography. Areas of high tornado activity include North America between the Rockies and Appalachians, Bangladesh and India, Australia, parts of Europe, northern Argentina, and South Africa.
