Tornadoes happen most in the United States in a place called 'Tornado Alley'. They mostly happen there because of the air. Tornado Alley is in the middle of the United States. So cold air from higher up in the world comes down and meets hot, humid air from down lower by the Equator. That hot air comes up and that's how the two airs meet. Then they form tornadoes.
