Do Hurricanes always move faster than tornadoes?

Hurricanes are tropical weather systems while significant tornadoes generally occur in the temperate latitudes. The wind currents that move storms in the tropics are generally weaker than those that move storms in the temperate latitudes.

Hurricanes weaken when they move over land.

It can be either. Tornadoes can move faster than 40 mph, but usually don't.

Both can occur in the tropics, though tornadoes are more common in temperate areas. All hurricanes form in the tropics but they can move into temperate regions.

In terms of wind speed, tornado and hurricane winds usually fall into the same range. Tornadoes are capable of producing stronger winds than hurricanes are, however. In terms of traveling speed, tornadoes generally move faster but, again, there is a good deal of overlap.

Generally not. Hurricanes usually have a forwards speed of 10 to 15 mph. Tornadoes have an average forward speed of 35 mph.

Tornadoes can move at over 40 mph, but most do not.

Hurricanes form in tropical regions but can move in to temperate regions. Tornadoes are very common in temperate regions, most notably the central United States.

Hurricanes are massive storm systems composed of thunderstorms while tornadoes are small-scale vortices that form during some thunderstorms. Hurricanes, thunderstorms, and tornadoes are all potentially dangerous forms of weather than can produce strong winds. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have violent winds that move in a circular fashion. Both thunderstorms and hurricanes produce heavy rain that can cause flooding. All are generally associated with warm, moist weather.

Usually they move east or northeast but not always. A tornado can move in any direction.

Such forward speeds are fairly common among hurricanes, but they may move faster or slower depending on the surrounding weather patterns.

Wind, the movement of air, is driven by pressure differences. Like all liquids and gasses, air tends to move from an area of high pressure to one of low pressure. The more the pressure changes over a given distance, the faster the air moves. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have significantly lower pressure than their surroundings, which exerts a strong pull on the air.

Tornadoes generally don't have a spiral shape. But the winds in and near a tornado always move in a spiral pattern.

France has tornadoes, but not hurricanes. Hurricanes form over tropical ocean water, and are more common in the western parts of ocean basins and tend to move westward. As a result, these storms usually do not head toward Europe. When they do, they lose hurricane status before they get their. Tornadoes do occur in France, but they are not as common or as intense as the ones that make headlines in the U.S. There are…
