Only in the amount of damage they can cause
Tornado damage is caused by wind and debris, with the first visible damage usually occurring to the roof, windows, and exterior walls. Earthquake damage is caused by shaking and distortion of the ground. Structures destroyed by earthquakes usually collapses where they stand while those destroyed by tornadoes are often at least partially blown away.
It depends on the size of the tornado and the how strong the earthquake is. Most earthquakes are small on average, so most of the time a tornado is stronger.
It is possible but extremely unlikely. If a tornado an earthquake were to strike at the same time it would be purely by coincidence.
The valdivia earthquake caused a lot of damage. But I am not sure what kind of damage it caused.
Only in the amount of damage they can cause
A hurricane
tsunami

Both tornadoes and earthquakes can damage or destroy buildings and infrastructure and can kill and injure people. However they cause damage in different ways.
tornados can cause the fastes damage , if i had to list them i would say 1. TORNADO(IT CAN DESTROY ALOT IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES) 2.EARTHQUAKE(IT CAN SHAKE A LARGE AREA BUT NOT ALWAYS CAUSE THAT MUCH OF A DAMAGE AS a tornado could) 3.HURRICANE
There are a few big hitters when it comes to violent weather, but it all depends on the scale of how violent these individual weather patterns are. For instance, a violent tornado can do more damage than a light earthquake, but a violent earthquake can do more damage than a light tornado.

Minor tornado damage typically includes missing shingles, damaged siding, and downed gutters. Minor Earthquake damage would included cracks in walls. More severe tornado damage would include the removal of the roof and sometimes walls with some debris blown down wind. Earthquake damage might include partial collapse and/or damaged supports. In the very strongest of tornadoes structures can be torn clean off their foundations, and are sometimes carried significant distances. The very strongest of earthquakes will cause most structures to completely collapse, leaving behind piles of rubble.
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
Lightning frequently accompanies tornadoes anyway. On the unlikely even that a tornado occurred during an earthquake, there would probably be more damage than either of the two could do on their own.
