Why do tornadoes occur in tornado alley?
Tornadoes occur frequently in Tornado Alley due to the unique combination of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meeting cold, dry air from the Rocky Mountains. This collision of air masses creates the ideal conditions for supercell thunderstorms, which can produce tornadoes. The flat terrain of the region also allows for better visibility of tornadoes as they form.

Why does the gulf of Mexico help to aid in so many tornadoes over tornado alley?
The Gulf of Mexico provides warm, moist air that can fuel thunderstorms when it meets with cool, dry air from the north. This clash of air masses creates the ideal conditions for severe weather, including tornadoes, to develop in Tornado Alley. The warm, humid air from the Gulf acts as a source of energy for these storms to intensify and form tornadoes.
