No. Tornadoes and earthquakes are completely unrelated.
At this point in time, formation of tornadoes are not fully understood by scientists. They usually form in a giant rotating thunderstorm called a supercell. Supercells form when cold polar air meets warm tropical air. The result is a great instability caused by the rising warm air. A squall line, or narrow zone of cumulonimbus clouds forms, giving life to the tornadoes. Lightning flashes, and heavy rains and hail begin to fall. Soon after, the easiest recognizable part of the tornado, the funnel, seems to descend from the base of the cloud. In actuality, it does not, but rather the pressure within the cloud drops due to the increasing wind speeds. This is known as Bernoulli's principle. As the pressure drops, it causes moisture in the air to condense. This action continues down the spiral, giving the impression that the funnel is descending from the cloud base. In addition to the visible funnel, there is also a hissing sound, which turns into a loud roar when the tornado touches the earth.
Many people believe that there is no tornado unless there is a visible funnel cloud. However this is not true, for 'invisible' tornadoes can exist. Its the same thing as a normal tornado, but the funnel cloud does not descend to the ground. The latter situation is extremely rare. This is a simulation of how a tornado forms:

Do earthquake and tornadoes come together?
Earthquakes and tornadoes are two separate natural phenomena that do not typically occur simultaneously. Earthquakes are caused by movement of the Earth's tectonic plates, while tornadoes are violent columns of rotating air associated with severe thunderstorms. However, in rare cases, an intense earthquake could potentially trigger a landslide or other disturbance that may result in localized tornado-like activity.
Is various form of energy from tornadoes?
No it does not come from tornadoes . :] .....
Is an earthquake one of the strongest natural disasters?
they are all bad earthquakes tornadoes and floods.
What are three examples of destructive force?
earthquake, tornadoes, hurricanes
Is haite fine did tornadoes come there?
Tornadoes are possible in Haiti as it is in a hurricane prone region. Hurricanes can produce tornadoes. In recent times, though, tornadoes have been the least of Haiti's concerns. First it was struck by a devastating earthquake in January of 2010. A few months later a cholera outbreak started, which was made worse when Hurricane Tomas sideswiped the country. Fortunately, the outbreak was not as bad a many feared.
Can an earthquake trigger a tornado?
No, tornadoes are triggered by interactions of air currents, which are essentially unaffected by earthquakes.
Can an earthquake on the ocean floor produce a tornado?
No, an earthquake on the ocean floor can cause a tsunami (a series of large waves). Earthquakes do not influence weather events such as tornadoes.
Do tornadoes come form clouds?
Yes. Tornadoes form from the clouds of a thunderstorm.
Do tornadoes come before hurricanes?
Generally not, although tornadoes are often produced by landfalling hurricanes, most tornadoes are not associate with hurricanes.
What direction do most tornadoes come from?
Tornadoes most often come out of the southwest.
How many tornadoes come out of one?
Usually one tornado does not result in other tornadoes. Some strong tornadoes can produce a satellite tornadoes that orbit them, but this is not very common.
What can tornadoes come from?
Tornadoes come from thunderstorms, usually, powerful rotating storms called supercells. However, tornadoes can sometimes form with squall lines, hurricanes, and in rare cases, single cell storms.
