Tornado alley is the area where more tornadoes occur, typically in the Midwest. The reason why there are so many tornadoes is because the cold dry air from Canada and The Rocky Mountains meet with the warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and Sonoran Desert, which causes atmospheric instability, which ultimately produces fierce thunderstorms.
