When cold air runs into warm air on a large scale it forms a cold front. If the warm air mass is unstable enough this can trigger thunderstorms, potentially strong ones. Given a few other conditions these storms can begin to rotate and produce tornadoes. Most strong thunderstorms are associated with cold fronts.
However, another significant source of tornadoes. This is a similar scenario to a cold front, only there is a dry air mass pushing into a moist one with little temperature difference. A dry line is even more effective at producing tornadoes than a cold front.

What is the place that tornadoes least occur the most?
The Arctic and the Antarctica because it's to cold for them to form there!
What climate do tornadoes occur?
Tornadoes are most common in a temperate climate but can occur in the tropics.
When a cold weather system meets a warm weather system what will mostly occur?
The result will most likely be a frontal low.
What type of front would likely bring hail and possible tornadoes into an area?
Hail and tornadoes are most often associated with cold fronts, but can occur with dry lines or, lest often, warm fronts.
What feature on a weather map is most likely to be associated with tornadoes?
Tornadoes are most likely to be associated with a cold front.
When do most tornadoes occur?
Most tornadoes occur in spring.
What front do tornadoes occur in?
Tornadoes most often form along a cold front, but do occasionally form along warm fronts.
What is the place that tornadoes least occur the most?
The Arctic and the Antarctica because it's to cold for them to form there!
What state is a tornado most likely to occur?
Although tornadoes occur in all states, the state with the most tornadoes is Texas.
When do have the most tornadoes?
Most tornadoes occur in spring and summer.
What season do tornadoes occur?
Tornadoes can occur in any season but are most common in the spring.
What climate are tornadoes most likely to occur in?
Tornadoes are most likely to occur in a temperate to subtropical climate.
What climate do tornadoes occur?
Tornadoes are most common in a temperate climate but can occur in the tropics.
Which of the 7 continents do the most violent tornadoes occur?
The most violent tornadoes generally occur in North America.
What time are tornadoes most likely to occur?
Tornadoes are most likely to occur in the late afternoon and earl evening.
Why do tornadoes occur in warm places?
Tornadoes are most likely to happen in warmer climates because warm air has more energy than cold air. It is that energy that powers the thunderstorms that produce tornadoes.
What kind of front do tornadoes usually occur with?
Tornadoes and other forms of severe weather are most often associated with cold fronts. However, warm fronts and stationary fronts have on occasion produced tornadoes.
