earthquakes are more dangerous because if there's a tornado you can go to your basement or go in the bathtub with a matres over you to protect yourself. if there's a earthquake you cant really protect yourself because of the shaking you cant really walk to a safer spot.

Are tornadoes or earthquakes worse?
Earthquakes are worse. Earthquakes strike with no warning and cover a larger area than tornadoes and can have much higher death tolls, especially those that trigger tsunamis.
What is the relationship between earthquakes and tornadoes?
There is no relationship between tornadoes and earthquakes.
Do earthquake and tornadoes come together?
No, tornadoes and earthquakes are unrelated phenomena.
What do earthquakes and tornadoes have in common?
Both Earthquakes and tornadoes are destructive natural disasters that release large amounts of energy. Aside from that they are completely different.
Does Florida have hurricanes earthquakes or tornadoes?
Florida is very prone to both tornadoes and hurricanes. Earthquakes in Florida are very rare, and rarely cause even minor damage.

What is the relationship between earthquakes and tornadoes?
There is no relationship between tornadoes and earthquakes.
Is an earthquakes faster than tornadoes?
The seismic waves of an earthquake travel faster than the winds of a tornado. But this is not what makes earthquakes destructive.
Can earthquakes form tornadoes?
No. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms. They have absolutely nothing to do with earthquakes.
Are hurricanes worse than tornadoes or are tornadoes worse than hurricanes?
This cannot be answered simply, as both hurricanes and tornadoes vary greatly in how bad they are. The impacts of both tornadoes and hurricanes can range from negligible to devastating. That said, the very worst hurricanes can be far deadlier and more destructive than the worst tornadoes.
How are tornadoes and earthquakes the same?
Both are natural disasters that release large amounts of energy and cause varying amounts of damage. Other than that they are completely different.
Is there a place that has both tornadoes and earthquakes?
Yes. Most areas of the world can get tornadoes and at least small earthquakes.
Are tornadoes in Nebraska worst than tornadoes in Texas?
Overall, no. Historically Texas, especially in its northern and eastern areas, has had worse tornadoes than Nebraska, though both states have experienced very deadly and destructive tornadoes.
Do earthquake and tornadoes come together?
No, tornadoes and earthquakes are unrelated phenomena.
Is an earthquake more severe than a tornado?
It depends as both earthquakes and tornadoes vary greatly in severity. Most earthquakes are so weak that the can't even be felt, only detected by sensitive instruments. Some tornado will cause little or no damage. However, the worst earthquakes are more destuctive than the worst tornadoes, as they can cause much more widespread damage.
Is a hurricane worse or a earthquake?
Yes, overall hurricanes are worse than tornadoes. Tornadoes can be faster(the average tornado may have winds of about 70 mph, but they can get as high as 300 mph, and hurricanes can be 74 to about 200 mph) and maybe more destructive locally, but tornadoes are on average about 150 feet, and rarely over a mile and they usually travel no more than a few miles. Hurricanes are on average 300 miles wide. Tornadoes usually last for 10-13 minutes on average, hurricanes can last for days blowing nonstop. Additionally, hurricanes don't bring just strong winds, but torrential rain and flooding.
What tornadoes do that thunder storms don't?
Tornadoes rotate rapidly. They also produce much worse damage than you usually get from thunderstorm winds.
