Do tornadoes orrur in any other part of world like tornadoe alley?

Question

season,strength,total number/longtitude/etc., or is it just us?

Answer 1

Tornadoes occur most frequently in that area but Tornadoes are also likely on the east Coast in the U.S. and overall the U.S. gets the most tornadoes out of every country in the world. The top three countries with the most tornadoes are 1: USA
2: Australia
3: China
For a list of tornado events such as North America Tornadoes and tornado outbreaks, Europe tornadoes and tornado outbreaks , Asia tornadoes and tornado outbreaks, Southern Hemisphere tornadoes and tornado outbreaks Tornadoes rated F5 and EF5, Tornado-related deaths at schools, Tornadoes spawned by tropical cyclones, Tornadoes striking the downtown central business district of major cities or Tornadoes by year (Can be found at this link)
A wikipedia article on "List of tornadoes and tornado outbreaks"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tornadoes_and_tornado_outbreaks
and it will show you how common tornadoes are in different parts of the world.

Answer 2

The United States has the distinction of having the most tornados of any other country in the world.

This is due mainly to the weather conditions in tornado alley. The warm, moist air, from the Gulf of Mexico, mixes with the cool, dry air, out of the Rockies. This is the perfect condition for the formation of Super Cells.

However, even though the mid-west is the prime area for the formation of Super Cells, storms capable of creating a tornado are possible anywhere. However, the northern states are usually drier and cooler, which is not the conditions needed for the formation of a funnel cloud. However, when a moist, warm weather front is in place, say.............over New England, and a dry cool front comes out of the Great Lakes, their meeting is capable of creating tornados, and has done so in the past.

They can happen almost anywhere!!!

Answer 3

Tornados are the strongest and the most frequent in tornado alley, because all of the ingredients to produce tornadic thunderstorms is there. There's dry air, cold air, and warm, moist air all mixing together. Every state in the US has had at least 1 tornado in recorded history, but most states rarely get them, and when they do they are short lived and weak. Most countries have had at least 1 tornado also. In fact we've had at least 3 in England this year, and another one (maybe) in Germany.

Tornados can occur anywhere, just like thunderstorms, but unless it's in the right place geographically they are doomed to be short lived. Their water-based cousins, the waterspout, are almost always weaker than a tornado. Sometimes a tornado will move over water and become a waterspout, or vise versa.

They can occur any time of the year, but are most frequent in spring, when the temperatures are warming up but there is still a strong temperature contrast between the polar air and the subtropical air. But like I said, they can happen any time. London had a tornado in January this year. Hope that helps.

Answer 4

The Midwest, fairly tornado alley is extremely services to getting a tornado because of the warmth Gulf moisture and chilly Artic air coming down from Canada assembly jointly. whilst the air from The Gulf of Mexico and Artic air meet it creates an extremely risky ecosystem becoming severe thunderstorms and frequently times a tornado. this would additionally take place from in basic terms warm humid days assembly with the less warm air at night. some areas of the worldwide are greater services to getting a tornado because of the fact it incredibly is a community the place heat moist air is assembly with less warm air becoming that top situations.

Answer 5

Tornadoes can occur over land or sea. When they occur over sea they are called typhoons and cyclones and are very common throughout the world.

Land based tornadoes are however a peculiarity to Tornado Alley , USA. There have been occasional twisters now and then like one in modern day Pakistan in the 1940s.

But there have been none else.

Answer 6

Massachusetts holds the record for one of the deadliest tornadoes in history. It occurred in 1953 with a front that also caused another record deadly tornado in Flint, Mi.

Answer 7

Let me put it this way, the only two places they don't occur is the Arctic and the Antarctic areas.

Answer 8

not as often,usually not as strong,but yes,in most places atleast rarely in fact
