In terms of wind speed, yes. In rare cases winds in a tornado may exceed 300 mph, well beyond what a hurricane can produce. In terms of overall energy, not. Hurricanes are huge convective systems that move large masses of air. By comparison tornadoes are tiny whirls.
Yes. It is farily common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes. However, a hurricane will rarely produce tornadoes stronger than EF2.
In most cases the wind speeds fall into the same range. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to produce winds in excess of 150 mph, which are rarely attained by hurricanes. The most violent tornadoes do produce stronger winds than even the most intense hurricanes.
There is some overlap, especially considering that a hurricane is a kind of cyclone. However, in the most extreme cases, the most violent tornadoes produce far stronger winds than the strongest hurricanes.
In most cases tornado and hurricane winds actually fall into the same range. However, violent tornadoes have stronger winds than even the strongest hurricanes can produce.
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.
For one thing, the wind speed ranges of tornadoes and hurricanes overlap. Some hurricanes produce winds in excess of 150 mph, while not all tornadoes do. However, the maximum winds speeds of tornadoes are greater than those of hurricanes. Even though a tornado can produce faster winds than any hurricane, a hurricane is many times larger than a tornado, and so releases far more energy.
Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.
In most cases hurricane winds and tornado wind actually fall into the same range, though tornadoes can achieve much stronger winds. Both hurricanes and tornadoes produce wind as a result of low pressure at the center of the storm. Tornadoes. produce a similar pressure drop to hurricanes, but over a shorter distance, which exerts a greater force.
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.
Tornadoes are both much larger than tornadoes and last much longer.
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.
No, lightning typically kills fewer people than hurricanes or tornadoes. On average, lightning causes around 30-60 deaths per year in the United States, while hurricanes and tornadoes can cause hundreds of deaths in a single event.
