Tornadoes are not limited to flat lands and contrary to popular belief hills do not hinder tornadoes. On many occasions they have been spotted in hilly or mountainous areas. Tornadoes are very common the the Great Plains of North America, which are flat, but this has more to do with climate than topography.
Many of the area frequented by tornadoes are flat. But there are a number of tornado prone areas that are hilly.
Tornadoes most famously occur on the Great Plains, but they are not uncommon in some hilly areas such as the Ohio River Valley.
Largely by coincidence, the most tornado-prone area in the world, the Great Plains is also a very flat area. However, the hills of Tennessee and northern Alabama are also quite prone to tornadoes.
Tornadoes can occur on flat land or hilly terrain. While tornadoes typically move over flat terrain, they are able to move up and down hills depending on the topography of the area. The presence of hills can sometimes influence the path and severity of a tornado.
Tornadoes occur in about 1% of thunderstorms.

Yes, tornadoes do occur in Africa despite its flat terrain. Tornadoes can form under specific atmospheric conditions and are not solely limited by the topography of the land. Africa experiences tornadoes in various regions, typically during certain weather patterns like severe thunderstorms or tropical cyclones.
Tornadoes occur most frequently in the central United States, often referred to as "Tornado Alley". This region includes states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska due to the unique atmospheric conditions that create ideal circumstances for tornado formation.
Most tornadoes occur in spring.
Largely by coincidence, the most tornado-prone area in the world, the Great Plains is also a very flat area. However, the hills of Tennessee and northern Alabama are also quite prone to tornadoes.
Tornadoes can occur in valley regions, but they are more common in flat areas such as the Great Plains. When strong thunderstorms develop in valleys, they can produce tornadoes due to the right atmospheric conditions. Topography can influence how tornadoes behave in valley regions, with terrain features potentially affecting their paths and intensity.
Tornadoes are most commonly associated with flat or gently rolling terrain, as this type of topography allows the ingredients for tornado formation, such as warm moist air and cold dry air, to mix more easily and efficiently. However, tornadoes can occur in various types of topography if the atmospheric conditions are conducive to their development.
Tornadoes occur in about 1% of thunderstorms.
Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms.
Yes, tornadoes can occur in Hawaii, but they are very rare.
Yes. Tornadoes occur in both hemispheres.
