The tornado-like whirlwinds that often occur in deserts are called dust devils. They are not actually tornadoes. On rare occasions, true tornadoes do occur in deserts, associated with infrequent severe thunderstorms.
Tornadoes do form in deserts, but very rarely. Deserts often see whirlwinds called dust devils. They look like tornadoes but are weaker and form on sunny days while tornadoes form from thunderstorms.
Tornadoes can potentially form anywhere around the world, but they are most commonly observed in the central United States. However, there are some regions with very low occurrences of tornadoes, such as Antarctica and parts of the Arctic.
Tornadoes are spawned by cumulonimbus clouds, which are multi-level clouds.
Thunderstorms and tornadoes, whether they are quick or not, are the product if cumulonimbus clouds.
A tornado is a violently spinning vortex of wind. In other words, tornadoes twist.
The answer is Tornadoes :)
The answer is Tornadoes :)
They do not have much of an impact. Actual tornadoes are very rare in desert environments and when they do occur are almost always weak. Such tornadoes may tear apart some shrubs.
Yes. There are no tornadoes in Antarctica, and it is doubtful that they occur in the Atacama Desert.
Tornadoes don't occur in Antarctica or in areas of extreme desert.

A tornado in a desert is still a tornado. However, you may be thinking of dust devils. These whirlwinds occur frequently in deserts. They are not tornadoes, though they do look like them. They are weaker than tornadoes and are usually harmless.

Just about. Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere apart from polar regions and extreme desert.
There are many forms of life in the desert.
The process that forms desert pavement is called deflation.
No. Only in regions that get thunderstorms. Polar climates and areas of extreme desert (such as the Atacama) do not experience tornadoes.
