They do, but most tornadoes don't make international news and generally, the strongest tornadoes that do most of the serious damage occur in the U.S.

Hurricanes occur in the Southern Hemisphere, but are called cyclones or tropical cyclones rather than hurricanes.

What happens when you move north or south of the equator?

When you move north of the equator, you enter the Northern Hemisphere where you would experience cooler temperatures in winter and warmer temperatures in summer. When you move south of the equator, you enter the Southern Hemisphere where the seasons are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere.


What happens if you go further south below the equator?

If you travel further south below the equator, you will enter the Southern Hemisphere, which encompasses regions like South America, Africa, Australia, and parts of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. This area experiences different climatic conditions compared to the Northern Hemisphere, including opposite seasons; for example, when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Additionally, you will encounter diverse ecosystems, wildlife, and cultures unique to this part of the world.


Why do hurricanes move toward the northeast as they enter the U.S.?

According to the information provided at the website below most hurricanes that hit the United States form in the Atlantic Ocean or the Caribbean Sea. As the ocean feeds moisture and warm air into the developing storm they create a rotation that's affected by the Earth's spin. In the Northern Hemisphere the rotation is always counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere the storms rotate in a clockwise direction. The direction of that rotation, influenced by the location of the storm, is called the Coriolis Effect. You can read more about hurricanes and the Coriolis Effect at the link provided below. The path of a hurricane is determined by the weather systems that surround the storm from the upper atmosphere to the surface of the ocean. The systems often steer the hurricane to the northeast but a hurricane can also veer inland. The path of the hurricane can change as the weather systems change and that makes accurate predictions as to where it will hit difficult to make. See the additional information at the related link.


Is the magnetic pole in the northern hemisphere a south pole?

If you (as is practise) call the end of a magnet that points north when suspended freely the "North" pole, then Yes, the place in Canada where the "Magnetic North pole" is is really magnetically a South pole (has the same magnetic moment as the end of the bar magnet that points south). Confusing enough?

No. Valleys do not protect from tornadoes. In fact there is some evidence that tornadoes can intensify as they enter a valley. Saginaw was hit by a tornado in 1982.
