How would a storm like a hurricane or a tornado speed up the process of erosion?

Hurricanes produce large waves, heavy rain, and extensive flooding, all of which can cause severe erosion, especially along coasts.
Tornadoes, especially strong ones can lift large amounts of soil into the air and pull vegetation from the ground, leaving the soil vulnerable to further erosion.

What is faster a hurricane or tornado?
In terms of wind speed, tornado and hurricane winds usually fall into the same range. Tornadoes are capable of producing stronger winds than hurricanes are, however. In terms of traveling speed, tornadoes generally move faster but, again, there is a good deal of overlap.
How a storm like a hurricane or a tornado speed up the process of erosion?
Hurricanes often cause severe flooding. The water moving over land causes erosion. Waves from hurricanes can erode beaches. The winds in tornadoes have sometimes been known to scour soil away, but this is rare, only occurring in the most violent tornadoes. Both tornadoes and hurricanes can destroy trees and other vegetation, which leaves the soil vulnerable to erosion.
Is eroding natural?
Erosion is a natural process, but human actions can speed it up significantly.
What has the fastest wind speed out of a hurricane and tornado?
Tornadoes can produce much faster winds. Maximum hurricane winds are around 200 mph while maximum tornado winds are believed to be just over 300 mph. Though in many cases winds fall into the same range.
What is hurricane Ivans speed?
Hurricane Ivan speed is 105

Does a hurricane have the largest speed?
No. A tornado has the highest recorded wind speed. In excess of 300 mph.

What storms has the highest wind speed--A Mid-latitude cyclonic storm B-Tornado C- Hurricane D- Thunderstorm?
Of these, a tornado produces the fastest winds.
Which is stronger an F5 tornado or a category 5 hurricane?
In terms of wind speed an EF5 tornado (estimated winds over 200mph, formerly 261-318) is stronger than a category 5 hurricane (over 155 mph). But overall a category 5 hurricane releases more energy.
What is the world record for wind speed excluding hurricane and tornado data?
The fastest wind ever recorded on earth outside of a tornado or hurricane was a gust to 231 mph (372 km/h) at the summit of Mount Washington on April 12, 1934.
How does vegetation slow and speed up the process of erosion?
Vegitation slows the process of eriosion by growing in areas where erosion occurs and blocking the movement of weathered rock.
Is a hurricane the most powerful natural disaster?
No. In terms of wind speed a tornado is the strongest. In terms of energy released and earthquake is the strongest.
What storm system has the highest wind speed?
The fastest winds on Earth are found in violent tornadoes. The current wind speed record is held by an F5 tornado that struck the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999 with winds as high as 302 mph.
What is used for wind speed?
Wind speed may be measured using an anemometer.
Is eroding natural?
Erosion is a natural process, but human actions can speed it up significantly.
