It varies between regions. The U.S. overall averages about 1200 tornadoes per year. Canada gets about 100 per year. Most other countries do not keep records of tornadoes.
In the Unite States, the average peak of tornado activity is in May.
A cumulative frequency polygon has straight lines connecting the points. A normal cumulative frequency diagram uses a smooth curve to join the points.
There is some evidence that tornado frequency might be increasing but it is difficult to determine as with more advanced technology and greater knowledge of tornadoes we are now finding tornadoes that we would have previously missed.
Tornadoes are most common in the central and eastern parts of Mississippi. The frequency of strong tornadoes in those areas rivals that in parts of Tornado Alley.
Relative frequency is a method of calculating the frequency of an event. Percentage frequency is a way of presenting the frequency of an event.
Yes! Of course! It is only normal to want to be in a tornado. Unless you want to die...
Oklahoma.

No. Although pressure inside a tornado is lower than normal, it is still closer to normal pressure than it is to a vaccum. In most cases the pressure drop in a tornado is less than 10%.
The frequency range for normal speech is typically between 125 Hz and 8,000 Hz. Most speech sounds fall within this range, with vowels generally lower in frequency and consonants higher in frequency.
No. It is neither man made nor a landmark. It is a region in which strong tornado naturally occur with a relatively high frequency.
A normal tornado is a violently rotating column of air the descends from the rotating updraft of a thunderstorm. A fire tornado or firewhirl, which is technically not a tornado, is a vortex of smoke and/or flame that forms at ground level from the updraft of an intense fire. Firewhirls can potentially produce winds equivalent to an EF0 or EF1 tornado, but the main threat is their ability to spread a fire further.
No. Waterspouts are generally weaker than normal tornadoes, usually equivalent to no more than a low EF0 tornado.
frequency
No. Frequency is just a measure of "how often". It can be less than, equal to or greater than normal.
There is no evidence to suggest that Tornado Alley is moving to the east. Tornado Alley is a region in the central United States known for frequent tornado activity, and its location has remained relatively consistent over time. Environmental changes can impact where tornadoes occur, but there is no indication of a significant eastward shift of Tornado Alley at this time.
A tornado that spins in the opposite direction from normal (e.g. clockwise in the northern hemisphere) it is called an anticyclonic tornado.
