    Where are most tornadoes?

    • Australia and New Zealand

    • Asia

    • United States of America

    Correct Answer
    A. United States of America
    Explanation
    The correct answer is United States of America. Tornadoes are most commonly found in the United States due to its unique geographical features, such as the collision of warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico with cool dry air from Canada, creating ideal conditions for tornado formation. Additionally, the Great Plains region, known as Tornado Alley, experiences a high frequency of tornadoes due to its flat terrain and atmospheric instability. While tornadoes can occur in other parts of the world, the United States has the highest number of tornadoes annually.

    What causes a Tornado?

    • When is gets really windy and the wind gets sucked up.

    • Thunderstorms develop tornadoes.

    • People- Global Warming.

    Correct Answer
    A. Thunderstorms develop tornadoes.
    Explanation
    Thunderstorms develop tornadoes. Tornadoes are typically formed within severe thunderstorms that have certain atmospheric conditions. These conditions include warm and moist air near the surface, strong wind shear (change in wind direction and speed with height), and a powerful updraft. As the updraft intensifies within the thunderstorm, it can start rotating horizontally. If this rotation is tilted vertically by the wind shear, it can form a tornado. Therefore, thunderstorms play a crucial role in the formation and development of tornadoes.

    Bangladesh is known to be one of the countries most prone to tornadoes. It is located in a region known as the "Tornado Alley of South Asia," where the atmospheric conditions are favorable for the formation of tornadoes. The country experiences frequent tornadoes, especially during the spring and summer months when hot and humid air masses collide. These tornadoes often cause significant damage to infrastructure and agriculture, making Bangladesh one of the worst-hit areas in terms of tornado activity.
