Yes. The United States alone gets more than 1,000 tornadoes in an average year while worldwide there are only a few dozen hurricanes and even fewer tsunamis.

Which of the following tornadoes hurricanes tsunamis or earthquakes will increase due to global warming?

Popular opinion might have you think that tornadoes and/or hurricanes might increase in frequency or intensity due to global warming. It is based on the logic that a warmer atmosphere means more energy is available for storms. This is a gross oversimplification. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are influenced by many complex factors, and the specific effects of global warming will vary by region. Such storms may become more common in one region but less common in another. Some models, for example, suggest that Atlantic hurricanes will become less common, but those that do occur will be stronger on average. There is no simple answer. Earthquakes and tsunamis are unlikely to be affected in any noticeable way.
