Why do tornadoes only form in the great plains states?
Tornadoes can in fact occur almost anywhere and are not uncommon in other parts of the US amd the world. The Great Plains of the United States have an ideal climate setup. Warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cool air from Canada and dry air from the Rockies, leading to the potential for severe thunderstorms. Wind shear, or differences in wind speed and direction with altitude then set these storms rotating, turning them into supercells. These storms are the ones with the greatest potential to produce tornadoes. In short, the Great Plains have an ideal climate setup not just for tornadoes, but for the strong tornadoes that make major headlines. Additionally, unlike some other areas where tornadoes are common, the United States is a wealthy, technologically advanced country capable of keeping detailed reports of tornadoes. Some other countries are not so good at keeping track of tornadoes.
