Storm-producing storms can be formed on plains or mountainous areas, depending on where the two different temperatures / humidity meet to form thunder clouds. In the United States, the dry line or the place where the moist winds move north into the spring and summer of the Gulf of Mexico, find the driest, driest winds moving to southern Canada on the Central Plains, which is why most US tornado storms come from flat plains.

<span>The two together actually cause the tornado. The cold air descending from the mountains heats up with the warm air coming from the plains or low lands, causing wind streams and inclement weather.
</span>Although they can be in either i'm pretty sure they just meet in the middle.

How does air pressure change as altitude increases in the atmosphere?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
<span>The higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure. Lower pressure in turn causes water to evaporate more quickly, and water actually boils at a lower temperature. The percentage of oxygen in the air at two miles (3.2 km.) is the same as at sea level (21%). However, the air pressure is 30% lower at the higher altitude due to the fact that the atmosphere is less dense--that is, the air molecules are farther apart. The important effect of this decrease in pressure is this: in a given volume of air, there are fewer molecules present. This is really just another way of saying that the pressure is lower. This is called Boyle's law.</span>
