Hurricanes last much longer. A typical hurricane lasts several days. Tornadoes usually last a few minutes.
Tornadoes are both much larger than tornadoes and last much longer.
Hurricanes last for days or even weeks. The longest lived hurricane on record lasted 31 days. Tornadoes usually only last a few minutes and are rarely on the ground for over an hour. Some just last a few seconds. The longest lived tornado on record lasted 3.5 hours.
They are in no way 'less violent'. They may seem it because tornadoes traval faster than a hurricane but, hurricanes last much longer and take more lives than a tornado does.
Hurricanes last far longer. A hurricane typically lasts for several days, and some have lasted up to a month.By contrast a tornado usually only lasts a few minutes, and some just last a few seconds. No tornado has been known to last more than three and a half hours.A hurricane lasts longer than a tornado.
No, hurricanes are generally easier to predict. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes and occur over the course of days, as opposed to tornadoes which typically last a few minutes. As a result it is easier to study and monitor hurricanes and therefor predict them.
In terms of total energy output no. That title would probably go to hurricanes which are much bigger and longer lasting than tornadoes. However, tornadoes are the most intense storms on earth, with winds that can exceed 300 mph.
no hurricanes differ from tornadoes
Minnesota gets tornadoes but not hurricanes. Hurricanes form over wam ocean water and do not last very long over land. Minnesota is much too far from the ocean.
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.
hurricanes can have tornadoes.
Generally not, although tornadoes are often produced by landfalling hurricanes, most tornadoes are not associate with hurricanes.
Definitely hurricanes. A hurricane can maintain hurricane strength for hours after landfall and tropical storm status even longer. By comparison the average tornado lasts 10 minutes. It is very rare for a tornado to last more than an hour.
