Answer:
tornadoes are formed by mixing cold and hot air together.
Explanation:
Because hot air rises, when hot air from the west, clashes with cold from the east (or visa versa) the hot air rises above the cold air and causes drag on the inside of the cold air, which makes the inside of the cold air travel at a slower rate than the outside of the cold air, which in turn makes the cold air turn in on itself.
because the cold air turns in on itself, any warmer air underneath rises above the swirl of cold air forcing it to sink to earths level. "friction" or "resistance" between the swirl of cold air and the earth's surface creates more energy that is absorbed by the cold air molecules in the swirl of air, allowing the particles to move quicker and quicker in the direction they are travelling in (a bend or circle), creating a tornado.
The landforms on the east and western part of the continent are very different, with the main reason being that the western part is geologically very active, while the eastern lacks geological activity.
Explanation:
The eastern part of the United States and Canada, or rather the eastern part of the North American continent, is a region that lacks geological activity for millions of years. This region can roughly be divided into two parts, one being dominated by the Appalachian Mountain Range, and the other being the plains. The Appalachians are medium high mountains, being heavily eroded, with smaller slopes, and covered with dense forests. The plains stretch along the coastline, but they are also very wide, and move several hundred of km into the mainland, making big portion of this region flat lowlands.
The western part, on the other hand, is geologically very active. There are several young mountain ranges which are still growing. There is volcanic activity, faults, and plateaus between the mountains. The coastal plains are very small and narrow. Because of the shadow effect, between the mountains there are arid zones where deserts and steppes dominate.

Latitude and longitude are imaginary lines that help us label every place on the surface of the earth. The most important line of latitude is the equator, which runs horizontally around the fattest part of the earth. The most important longitude line is the Prime Meridian which runs vertically and goes through Greenwich, England. Another important longitude line is the international date line, which goes vertically through the middle of the ocean opposite the Prime Meridian. Hope It Helps
