The term used for the region of the US where tornadoes frequently form is "Tornado Alley."
The area in the central United States where most tornadoes occur is known as "Tornado Alley." This region includes parts of the Great Plains, centered around Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas. Tornado Alley is notorious for its frequent and intense tornado activity.
Tornadoes are most commonly found in North America, particularly in the United States, where the conditions for their formation are most favorable. However, tornadoes can occur on all continents except for Antarctica. Europe, Australia, and South America also experience tornadoes, although they are less frequent and less intense compared to those in North America.
Tornadoes can occur in any direction, not just northeast and south. They are most common in an area known as Tornado Alley in the central United States, where conditions are favorable for their formation.
Most tornadoes in the world are located in the central part of the United States, often referred to as "Tornado Alley." This region spans from Texas to South Dakota and is known for its frequent tornado outbreaks due to the collision of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico with cooler, drier air from the Rocky Mountains. Tornadoes can occur in other parts of the world as well, but Tornado Alley experiences the highest concentration of them.
The area of the central US that features many tornadoes is known as Tornado Alley. It is region that typically includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska where atmospheric conditions are conducive for the formation of tornadoes.
Tornadoes are most frequent from April through June.

Most of the world's tornadoes happen in an area called "Tornado Alley". It is between the Rocky Mountains and Appalachian Mountains. It's a huge area.
Tornado Alley is a colloquial and popular media term that most often refers to the area of the United States where tornadoes are most frequent. Although no U.S. state is entirely free of tornadoes, they are most frequent in the plains between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains. According to the storm events database of the National Climatic Data Center, Texas reports more tornadoes than any other state, though this state's very large land area should be taken into account. Kansas and Oklahoma are second and third respectively for sheer number of tornadoes reported but report more per land area than Texas. However, the density of tornado occurrences in northern Texas is comparable to Oklahoma and Kansas. Florida also reports a high number and density of tornado occurrences, though only rarely do tornadoes there approach the strength of those that sometimes strike the southern plains.
The area that gets the most tornadoes in the U.S. (or in the world for that matter) is called Tornado Alley.
Tornadoes are most common in the late afternoon and early evening. This is when the lower atmosphere is usually warmest and instability is usually the greatest. The greater the instability, the more likely strong thunderstorms are to develop. Tornadoes need strong thunderstorms to form.
