Earthquakes, by far, occur most frequently. On average, each year, there are about 1,800 tornadoes are recorded. The actual number of tornadoes is probably higher, most likely a few thousand, due to the many tornadoes that escape detection.
By contrast, between five hundred thousand and 1 million earthquakes are recorded each year, of which 100,000 are strong enough to be felt.
Every state gets tornadoes. Pennsylvania and Ohio have even had F4 and F5 tornadoes. The inland states do not get hurricanes. The Dakotas, Florida, and Michigan have only have a few small earthquakes. Pennsylvania has had a few earthquakes, but none have been very damaging.
No. Moving plates cause most earthquakes but have absolutely nothing to do with tornadoes. Tornadoes are caused by strong thunderstorms.
Earthquakes are possible in Chicago, but it is unlikely that any would be strong enough to cause damage. Tornadoes, though are quite possible in Chicago and have hit the city before.
No. The movement of Earth's plates can cause earthquakes and tsunamis but is completely unrelated tornadoes. Tornadoes are produced by severe thunderstorms.
No. Fracking can cause earthquakes if the fluid gets into faults. Tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms, which are not affected by fracking in any way.
There is no relationship between tornadoes and earthquakes.
No. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms. They have absolutely nothing to do with earthquakes.
Yes. Most areas of the world can get tornadoes and at least small earthquakes.
The Andes are more prone to earthquakes as they are located at, and were in fact formed by, a subduction zone just to the west of South America. Tornadoes are more common in the interior and eastern parts of South America.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornadoes are all severe. It just depends on how strong they are and where they occur.
No, tornadoes and earthquakes are unrelated phenomena.
It depends as both earthquakes and tornadoes vary greatly in severity. Most earthquakes are so weak that the can't even be felt, only detected by sensitive instruments. Some tornado will cause little or no damage. However, the worst earthquakes are more destuctive than the worst tornadoes, as they can cause much more widespread damage.
Both Earthquakes and tornadoes are destructive natural disasters that release large amounts of energy. Aside from that they are completely different.
Earthquakes are worse. Earthquakes strike with no warning and cover a larger area than tornadoes and can have much higher death tolls, especially those that trigger tsunamis.
Yes, but the chances of such an occurrence are extremely low. Hurricanes often produce tornadoes, but more often in their outer regions beyond the area of hurricane conditions (sustained winds of at least 74 mph). Hurricanes and tornadoes are not related to earthquakes in any way known to science. Many area that are prone to large earthquakes to not typically see hurricanes or tornadoes very often.
No
No, you're thinking of earthquakes.
