Best Answer

Tornadoes most often occur in the central and southern USA. (tornado alley) Why they occur is because: they get warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico that collides with cold dry air from Canada, and they get contained in this area by the mountain ranges that are on either side, when the air collides they swirl around each other causing a tornado.
