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.

Do cyclones have tornadoes in them?

Some cyclones produce tornadoes, but most do not.


The storms that produce the highest winds are?

Tropical cyclones, including hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones, are known to produce the highest winds on Earth. These storms can reach wind speeds exceeding 150 mph (240 km/h) and can cause significant damage due to their strong winds and heavy rainfall.


Is a tornado associated with hurricanes?

It is not uncommon for a hurricane to produce tornadoes at landfall. But most tornadoes are not associated with hurricanes and not all hurricanes produce tornadoes.


Do tornadoes have more wind than 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.


Which one is fast hurricanes or tornadoes?

Both hurricanes and tornadoes produces very fast winds. As to which one has faster winds, it varies. Some tornadoes have faster winds than others and a tornado will vary in intensity during its existence. The same is true of hurricanes. In most cases the wind speeds in a tornado and in a hurricane will fall into the same range. In the most extremely cases, though, the strongest tornadoes produce faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.


What is the reationship between hurricanes and tornadoes?

It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall.


Can tornadoes be formed by hurricanes?

Yes. It is farily common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes. However, a hurricane will rarely produce tornadoes stronger than EF2.


Do tornadoes relate to hurricanes?

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.


Why do hurricanes and tornadoes happen at the same time whenever?

They don't. While it is fairly common for a hurricane to produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are not associated with hurricanes. The thunderstorms that produce tornadoes may produce strong, even hurricane-force winds, but that does not make them hurricanes.


Do hurricanes make tornadoes?

Yes. It is fairly common for hurricens to produce tornadoes. However, most tornadoes are not produced by hurricanes.


Does a hurricane trigger a tornado?

It is fairly common for a hurricane to produce tornadoes around landfall, however, not all hurricanes produce tornadoes, and most tornadoes are not associated with hurricanes.


Can tornadoes produce cyclones?

No. Cyclones can produce tornadoes, but not the other way around. A cyclone is a large scale system that can produce smaller storm cells. A tornado is a small scale vortex that results from such a cell.
