Best Answer

The greatest number of tornado occur in the United States, particularly on the central plains. The high incidence of tornadoes in tat region has earned it the name "Tornado Alley". This region has an ideal climate setup. Cool air from Canada and dry air from the Rockies frequently meet warm, moist air front the Rockies, giving rise to strong thunderstorms. Wind shear over the region then starts the storms rotating, which allows them to produce tornadoes.
