Tornadoes are actually quite rare in most parts of the world. Tornadoes can occur just about anywhere because the basic ingredients needed to produce tornadoes, instability and wind shear, are not all that rare. It is them coming together in the right way at the same time that is less common.

What type of storm is most common all over the world?

Is a tropical storm a tornado?
No. A tropical storm is a large cyclonic storm system that forms over warm ocean water and produces winds from 39 to 73 mph. With further strengthening a tropical storm can become a hurricane. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes are a very different phenomenon from tropical storms. First and foremost is that a tropical storm is its own storm system while a tornado is a relatively small vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm. Additionally tornadoes usually form on land and are more common in temperate latitudes than tropical.
Which type of storm only forms over large bodies of warm water?
It is a tornado and a hurricane
Is tropical cyclones another way of saying Tornado?

Is a hurricane a water tornado?
No, a hurricane is not a tornado over water. A tornado and a hurricane are quite different. A hurricane is a large-scale self-sustaining storm pressure system, typically hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm rarely over a mile wide. A tornado on water is called a waterspout.
What are three ways a hurricane is different from a tornado?
The a many differences but here are the most important:A hurricane is its own, large scale, self sustaining storm system while a tornado is a small scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm.Tornadoes can form over both land and water and are most common in temperate or subtropical climates. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water in the tropics.A tornado is chiefly a wind event while hurricanes create additional hazards of flooding due to the storm surge and torrential rain.
What are three differences between a hurricane and a tornado?
A hurricane is an independent storm system while a tornado is dependent on a parent storm cell.A hurricane is typically several hundred miles wide while a tornado is usually no more than a few hundred yards wide.Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water while tornadoes usually form over land.
