eli5: why are tornadoes common in north America but not other parts of the world?
In: 148
One of the reasons for this is because north america has little to no topographic barriers and a low pressure system, which causes the moist air from the gulf of mexico and the dry air of the southwest to meet. there’s nothing blocking the “path” between the two, which makes it more easier and common for tornadoes to form due to the drastic wind variations
