Tornadoes typically occur in "Tornado Alley" due to the unique atmospheric conditions found in this region of the United States, where warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico collides with cool, dry air from Canada and the Rocky Mountains. This clash creates instability in the atmosphere, leading to severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes. The flat terrain of Tornado Alley also allows for the easy formation and movement of these storms, increasing the likelihood of tornado development.
