Yes. Hurricanes are easier to predict as they are easier to detetec and take longer to develop. Tornadoes are small-scale events that can form in minutes. Making it difficult to to make measurements of make an accurate prediction. Hurricanes are large-scale weather systems that develop over the course of several days. This gives meteorlogits more options in analyzing the, and enough time to run forecast models.
What else can I help you with?
Is a twister worse than a tornado?
No. Twister is just another word for a tornado.
Who would win in a fight a tornado or a hurricane?
There is no conflict between a hurricane and a tornado. In fact, hurricanes often produce tornadoes. However, if you were to somehow pitch the force of a hurricane against the force of a tornado, the hurricane would "win" without being significantly affected. Although a tornado can have faster winds than a hurricane, hurricanes are much larger and have several orders of magnitude more energy than a tornado.
Which is larger a hurricane or a tornado?
A hurricane is much larger than a tornado. A typical hurricane is a few hundred miles across. Most tornadoes are no more than a few hundred yards wide.
What type of storm has the greatest energy hurricane or tornado?
Overall a hurricane has much more energy. Mostly because a hurricane is hundreds of times larger than a tornado.
What is stonger than a tornado?
a hurricane or a 10. earthquake
Does a hurricane have a larger thunderstorm than a tornado?
Hurricanes themselves are much larger than any thunderstorm or tornado.
Which has a faster air pressure fall between a hurricane or tornado?
A tornado produces a greater pressure drop over a shorter distance than a hurricane.
What is several hundred miles in diameter a tornado or a hurricane?
A hurricane. A tornado is usually no more than a quarter of a mile wide.
What's worse hurricane or tornado?
A hurricane is generally worse. Since they are much larger than tornadoes they can cause more damage and kill more people. e.g. A number of hurricanes have killed over 1,000 people, but only one known tornado has done the same. However, somewhat paradoxically, a tornado is more dangerous. This is because tornadoes are more violent than hurricanes, are harder to predict, and form much more quickly.
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.
Does a hurricane or a tornado last less than 10 minutes?
A tornado will typically, though not always, last less than 10 minutes. On rare occassions a tornado may last for over an hour. A hurricane, by contrast, lasts several days.
Can a hurricane cause more destruction than a tornado?
Yes. A hurricane affects a much larger area than a tornado and so will likely cause more damage overall. Tornado damage is generally more severe than hurricane damage, but it is limited to a small area. There have been far more hurricanes than tornadoes that have caused more than $1 billion in damage.
