it depends on how strong or how big the tornado or water spout is. they both can be very damaging in many ways.
Yes, waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water and can sometimes come ashore, becoming known as tornadic waterspouts. These phenomena are rare and can cause damage and danger to coastal areas.
No, water spouts are not considered natural disasters. Water spouts are a weather phenomenon that occur over bodies of water and are essentially tornadoes that form over water. While they can be dangerous to any boats or ships passing through the area, they are not categorized as natural disasters.
Tornadoes that occur over water are typically referred to as waterspouts. They are similar to tornadoes but form over a body of water instead of over land. Waterspouts can be dangerous to marine vessels but typically do not cause as much damage as tornadoes on land.
Ultimately, all of them do. Most tornadoes do not form on water, but all of them develop from thunderstorms. Thunderstorms ge their energy from moisture in the atmosphere.
Yes it is a tornado over the water. However it is easier for a tornado to form over water and is generally smaller and weaker. Waterspouts are generally not officially counted as tornadoes unless they hit land.
Tornadoes aren't so much attracted to water so much as water helps them form. Tornadoes form in thunderstorms, which are powered by moist air. A body of water adds moisture to the air, which can strengthen a thunderstorm and make it more likely to produce a tornado.
generally not, but be careful obviously don't go directly into one. but normally there isn't any damage from waterspouts
Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause damage through a combination of very strong winds, and debris carried by those winds. Hurricanes can also cause damage through flooding as a result of heavy rain and the storm surge.
Waterspouts rarely kill as they are generally weaker than normal tornadoes and usually dissipate soon after hitting land. When they do kill, they usually killer no more than 1 or 2 people. On the rare occasions that a strong waterspout occurs death tolls may climb higher, though there is not given death toll.
Both tornadoes and waterspouts are funnel shaped masses that can destroy structures,injure, and even kill people. waterspouts are even called "water tornadoes". What people often don't know is that there are two kinds of water spouts. Tornadic and non-tornadic. Non-tornadic waterspouts accrue during fair weather while tornadic (like tornadoes) accrue during thunder storms.
they form in water typically in oceans
Tornadoes are part of severe or violent weather, or from clashing air masses. They occur when two powerful fronts collide, and as part of other weather events such as hurricanes. Rotating winds can occur over water (water spouts), in deserts (as dust devils), and even over land or volcanic eruptions (as volcanoes).
