  1. the south


  2. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air which is in contact with both a cumulonimbus cloud, or in rare cases, a cumulus cloud base and the surface of the earth. Tornadoes come in many sizes but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris.

    Although tornadoes have been observed on every continent except Antarctica, most occur in the United States.  They also commonly occur in southern Canada, south-central and eastern Asia, east-central South America, Southern Africa, northwestern and southeast Europe, Italy, western and southeastern Australia, and New Zealand.

  3. Mainly in the US is where they are found, but i think they can be found probably anywhere in the world... some places may be more rare than others of coursse.

  4. they form when a long funnel-like column of air sinks down from a cumulonimbus cloud, as warm air rises and rotates around it. a tornado's centre has extremely low air pressures. most tornadoes occur in the United States every year. Waterspouts are similar to tornadoes, but they occur over lakes and seas.
