No, Hurricanes are not stronger than tsunamis! Tsunamis are water waves than piles up to one giant wave that lasts about eight hours wiping out a whole island. Then they pick back up and keeps going to wash out other islands. Once a tsunami hit Hawaii and went to Japan which is on the other side of the earth around eight hours which is faster than a jet!

∙ 13y agoI think a tsunami is more destructive than a hurricane because a tsunami is just a big wave.
A Tsunami would be far more deady than a hurricane. It would be much safer to have a hurricane coming towards you instead of a tsunami. Tsunami's do far more damage than hurricanes BUT haricanes are far larger, and the stronger ones can cause other problems like landslides and flooding.

∙ 13y agousually tsunami's are deadlier because you cant really get away from them. Where with an earthquake theres ways to keep safe during one. Also earthquake dont usually last long, and during tsunami's they last longer.If you think about it,and your thinking the tsunami waves are over you and your under water,you obviously cant breath and cant hold breathe too long. during earthquakes you have a better chance of surviving.

How do hurricanes cause tsunamis and fires?
Hurricanes do not cause tsunamis. They can cause fires by breaking gas lines and causing sparks in electrical wiring.
Do hurricanes make tsunamis?
No, generally only earthquakes can generate tsunamis. Hurricanes only have the ability to churn up the very top layer of the ocean.
What are the names of tsunamis and hurricanes beginning with J?
For hurricanes : Janet (1955), Joan (1988), Juan (2003), Jeanne (2004). However it seems that Tsunamis don´t have names.
Can hurricanes and earthquakes happen underwater?
hurricanes no, earthquakes yes. thats what causes Tsunamis... underwater earthquakes.
Does England have tsunamis and hurricanes?
England does not get actual hurricanes. It can get intense post-tropical cyclones that used to be hurricanes, however.Tsunamis are possible in England, but very rare.
Are tornadoes deadlier than hurricanes?
No. Hurricanes are generally deadlier. There have been a number of hurricanes with death tolls over 1,000 but only one known tornado holds that distinction.
Why are hurricanes deadlier than tornadoes?
Hurricanes tend to be deadlier than tornadoes for two main reasons. First, hurricanes are huge compared with tornadoes. This means they affect larger areas and so have more opportunity to kill. Also, while tornadoes are chiefly wind events hurricanes produce both intense wind and major flooding. 90% of all hurricane deaths are drownings.
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.
What is the relationship between hurricanes and tsunamis?
Both hurricanes and tsunamis are powerful natural forces that can lead to the loss of lives and the destruction of property. They both involve water since hurricanes form over the ocean and tsunamis are gigantic waves.
Is tornadoes or hurricanes deadlier?
One is not necessarily deadlier, as in both hurricanes an tornadoes, some kill more than others, and many do not kill at all. However, in terms of the highest death toll, hurricanes kill more people. This is largely due to the fact that they cover a larger area, giving them more opportunity to kill.
Do tornadoes come more than hurricanes or tsunamis a year?
Yes. The United States alone gets more than 1,000 tornadoes in an average year while worldwide there are only a few dozen hurricanes and even fewer tsunamis.
What are more deadly hurricanes or cyclones?
