In which area does the combination of climate and weather conditions often result in violent tornadoes?
Tornadoes can form almost anywhere, but are most common in the central United States.
What effect do tornadoes have on the climate?
Tornadoes probably do not affect the climate in any significant way. They are more an end product of certain weather conditions than anything else.
How are tornadoes related to weather and climate?
Tornadoes are themselves violent weather events. They ar intense whirlwinds spawned by thunderstorms. Since tornadoes depend on certain weather conditions to develop, climate affects how often tornadoes occur in an area.
What is weather and climate conditions like in the Central Plains in spring and early summer?
They have severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Are tornadoes caused by human nature or both?
Tornadoes are natural events caused by the right setup of weather conditions. Human-caused climate change may affect where and when tornadoes are most likely to occur, but tornadoes remain a primarily natural phenomenon.
What climate do tornadoes occur?
Tornadoes are most common in a temperate climate but can occur in the tropics.
How do tornadoes affect climate change?
Tornadoes do not affect climate change. They may be affected by climate change, but how is yet to be determined.
Why do tornadoes hit certain areas?
Tornadoes need the right conditions in order to form. Convective instability, wind shear, and the temperature profile of the air are all factors that must come together in the right way for tornadoes to form. Climate affects all of these factors, so how often tornadoes occur in one area or another is due to climate.
How many tornadoes have hit Africa in 2011?
At least no significant tornadoes were reported in Africa in 2011, as the continent usually doesn't support the proper climate and conditions for tornado-producing thunderstorms to form.
What climate are tornadoes most likely to occur in?
Tornadoes are most likely to occur in a temperate to subtropical climate.
What climate are tornadoes least likely to occur in?
Tornadoes are least likely to occur in a polar climate.
How does climate affect tornadoes?
How often tornadoes occur in different regions is a function of climate. Tornadoes are weather events and climate is the long-term behavior of the weather. In simple terms, tornadoes occur in areas whose climates support the formation of strong thunderstorms and wind shear.
