Tornadoes often form on plains due to the unique combination of atmospheric conditions that can occur in these flat regions. The lack of significant geographical barriers allows warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico to collide with cool, dry air from the north, creating instability. This interaction can lead to the development of severe thunderstorms, and under the right conditions, these storms can produce tornadoes. The open terrain also allows for the unobstructed rotation of air, which is essential for tornado formation.
