Hurricanes cannot form on land; they can only form over warm ocean water. Tornadoes can form almost anywhere, but are most common in areas with a warm temperate to subtropical climate. The most tornado-prone area in the world is Tornado Alley, which covers much of the Great Plains in the central U.S.

Do hurricanes and tornadoes both spin in the storm and start over water?

Hurricanes and tornadoes both exhibit rotational movement; hurricanes spin in a cyclonic pattern due to the Earth's rotation and form over warm ocean waters, while tornadoes typically develop from thunderstorms on land. Hurricanes require warm ocean water to strengthen, whereas tornadoes can occur over land or water but generally form in severe weather conditions. Both phenomena are distinct in their formation processes and locations, with hurricanes being larger and more sustained than tornadoes.
