Are tornadoes tropical?

Why laterite soil is yellow in color?
The colour of laterite soil depends upon where it is. In temperate climates it will be yellow, but in tropical climes it will be red. This is because the iron oxide, which is mainly responsible for the colour, oxidizes to a different form in higher temperatures.
What type of climate is perfect for a tornado to form?
Temperate. Most tornadoes form in temperate grassland regions.
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.
Do tropical areas get hurricanes cyclones and typhoons?
Hurricanes and typhoons occur in tropical areas, but can move into extratropical areas as well. There are different types of cyclone, however. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms and tropical depressions) form in tropical regions but extratropical and polar lows are cyclones as well.

Why laterite soil is yellow in color?
The colour of laterite soil depends upon where it is. In temperate climates it will be yellow, but in tropical climes it will be red. This is because the iron oxide, which is mainly responsible for the colour, oxidizes to a different form in higher temperatures.
What causes a cirrus cloud to form?
They form when water vapor undergoes deposition at altitudes of 5,000 m (16,500) in temperate regions and 6,100 m (20,000 ft) in tropical regions
What is the climate and precipitation of the rainforest can you show you in a graph form?
The annual precipitation for temperate rainforests is at least 200 cm (78.74 in) and can go up to 350 cm (137.79 in). Tropical rainforests receive from 60 to 160 inches of precipitation. They vary some during the months but over a years' time, the graph shows nearly a straight line.
