Are tornadoes named?

No. Tornadoes are too numerous and happen too quickly to be named. Instead tornadoes are usually referred to by the places they hit, such as the Oklahoma City tornado or the Tuscaloosa, Alabama tornado. The only types of storms named are tropical cyclones (e.g. hurricanes).


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.


Where do Tornadoes Normally Happen?

The United States gets the most tornados than any other country, nearly four times more than Europe, excluding the small stuff. This is most due to the fact that there aren't any major east to west mountain ranges to impede a torndadoes progress, like other countries and continents have in their topography. America is surrounded by oceans and the Gulf of Mexico, all of which are liable to have storms of all kinds, especially when the Atlantic tagteams with the Gulf, which results in a Katrina.


Why do tornadoes occur in warm places?

Tornadoes occur in warm places because warm air at the surface rises and interacts with cooler air aloft, creating unstable atmospheric conditions that can lead to the formation of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. The contrast in temperature and moisture between warm and cool air masses can trigger the intense rotating updrafts necessary for tornado development.

Do mini tornadoes happen where big ones happen?

That depends on what you mean by "mini tornado" as it has no real definition. If you mean small, weak tornadoes, then yes. Even in areas prone to large tornadoes, the smaller ones will still be in the majority. However, weak tornadoes are rarely heavily covered unless they strike in places not not normally associated with tornadoes.
