This cannot be answered simply, as both hurricanes and tornadoes vary greatly in how bad they are. The impacts of both tornadoes and hurricanes can range from negligible to devastating. That said, the very worst hurricanes can be far deadlier and more destructive than the worst tornadoes.
It varies. Technically a cyclone can be almost any large scale low pressure system with a closed circulation, and most such systems are not damaging. However, hurricanes and similar storms, which are a kind of cyclone, can cause far more damage and have much higher death tolls than tornadoes. Both the costliest and deadliest natural disasters in U.S. history were hurricanes (Hurricane Katrina and the 1900 Galveston hurricane respectively). It can be even more complicated however, as cyclones can cause tornadoes.
In the South, tornadoes are most often associated with a cold front, though in Texas they may form along a dry line. In some cases, though, the tornadoes may form without a front. For example, landfalling hurricanes, which are not associated with fronts, often spawn tornadoes.
The damage from a tornado is generally more severe than that of a tropical storm or hurricane, but is limited to a much smaller area. Hurricanes and tropical storms can cause damage over enormous areas, so the total amount of damage done is greater.
Nope... Hurricanes can cover hundreds of square miles - and can last for days. Tornados are generally localised over a few miles, and short-lived.
May on averages experience the most tornadoes.
The statements "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" and "Hurricanes have strong winds" are both true. Tornadoes most certainly can kill people.
The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.
Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes, and thus cause damage over a larger area, meaning more homes destroyed, and more people in harm's way. Tornado damage can be more severe, but it is localized along a rather narrow path.
It kills more than either group on their own, but not more than hurricanes and tornadoes combined.
Yes. It is farily common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes. However, a hurricane will rarely produce tornadoes stronger than EF2.
There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.
Tornadoes are both much larger than tornadoes and last much longer.
Tropical storms are often, but not always, smaller than hurricanes. They are much bigger than tornadoes.
No, hurricanes are generally easier to predict. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes and occur over the course of days, as opposed to tornadoes which typically last a few minutes. As a result it is easier to study and monitor hurricanes and therefor predict them.
no hurricanes differ from tornadoes
Not really. Although hurricanes and tornadoes have some notable similarities, they are completely different phenomena. It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not a result of hurricanes.
hurricanes can have tornadoes.
