A tornado usually develops in a severe thunderstorm in areas with flat plains.
Explanation:
Tornado is the term used to describe atmospheric eddies. As you can see if you search for images of tornadoes, they appear in the shape of a funnel, constantly rotating around a center. This center is a low pressure area and usually does not cause much destruction wherever it is established. Tornadoes are produced by a convective storm, so we can say that a tornado usually develops in a severe storm in areas with flat plains.
The reticular formation can be said to be a network of nuclei in the brainstem that wakes or alert us to a sharp reaction or occurence at a particular time.
