What spheres cause tornadoes?
Tornadoes are chiefly atmospheric events, but moisture from the hydrosphere also plays a role in their development.
Is a tornado caused by tectonic plate?
No, tornadoes are an entirely atmospheric occurrence.
Can an earthquake cause a twister or tornado?
No. Tornadoes are produce by thunderstorms and are an entirely atmospheric phenomenon. Earthquakes have no influence on storms whatsoever.
Where can you get research on tornadoes?
Much information on tornadoes is provided by branches of NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, most notable from the National Weather Service and the Storm Prediction Center. See the link below for NOAA's website.
Why do tornadoes happen in certain places in the world?
Tornadoes can actually happen in any part of the world. They're caused by certain properties of our atmosphere that produce turbulence. Certain parts of the world have consistent conditions which are conducive to this atmospheric turbulence. The American Midwest is the most tornado-prone area in the world.
Are there tornadoes and hurricanes in space?
No. Tornadoes and hurricanes are atmospheric phenomena, and there is no atmosphere in space.
Does atmospheric pressure affect tornadoes?
Yes. Tornadoes themselves are small, intense centers of low pressure.
What spheres cause tornadoes?
Tornadoes are chiefly atmospheric events, but moisture from the hydrosphere also plays a role in their development.
Is a tornado caused by tectonic plate?
No, tornadoes are an entirely atmospheric occurrence.
Both hurricanes and tornadoes have centers with very low?
Atmospheric pressure.
Does high atmospheric pressure usually accompanies a tornado?
No, tornadoes are accompanied by low pressure.
Can salt water make tornadoes or sugar water?
Neither slat water nor sugar water make tornadoes. Tornadoes are an atmospheric phenomenon. If you mean those cool little tornadoes in the 2-liter soda bottles, both CAN make them. They will be much harder than distilled water though.
Can an earthquake cause a twister or tornado?
No. Tornadoes are produce by thunderstorms and are an entirely atmospheric phenomenon. Earthquakes have no influence on storms whatsoever.

How do tornadoes know when to come?
Tornadoes don't "know" anything. They are not alive and cannot think or feel. They are a physical phenomenon governed by thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Certain atmospheric conditions including instability, the presence of a front or other storm system, and strong wind shear create an environment in which tornadoes are likely.
Why are tornadoes common in other countries?
Tornadoes are a common, ubiquitous atmospheric phenomenon. They are most commonly recorded in and around the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. However, they are at their most powerful and destructive when they occur along "Tornado Alley" in the US, which therefore gets the most press coverage.
