What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?
The statements "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" and "Hurricanes have strong winds" are both true. Tornadoes most certainly can kill people.
Tornadoes and hurricanes develop over which of the following?
Hurricanes form over warm ocean water while tornadoes usually form over land.
Cyclonic low pressure storms of high winds that develop over water are called?
hurricanes
Do tornadoes and hurricanes occur together?
Sometimes a hurricane can produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not produced by hurricanes.
Which of the following statements about hurricanes and tornadoes is true hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot hurricanes have strong winds?
The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.
Tornadoes and hurricanes are examples of?
Tornadoes and hurricanes are both examples of severe weather phenomena known as cyclones. Tornadoes are characterized by strong rotating winds that form from thunderstorms, while hurricanes are large tropical cyclones with low-pressure centers that develop over warm ocean waters.
Do hurricanes occur on mars?
No, hurricanes do not occur on Mars. The thin atmosphere and lack of substantial surface water on Mars make it impossible for hurricanes to form on the planet. However, Mars does experience dust storms and other weather phenomena.
Are tornadoes cyclonic?
Most tornadoes are cyclonic, meaning they rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. However, a very small percentage of tornadoes are anticyclonic, rotating in the opposite direction.
Are hurricanes and tornadoes related to each other?
Not really. While it is not uncommon for a hurricane to produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are the product of mid-latitude storm systems that have nothing to do with hurricanes.
What storms cover large areas tornadoes or hurricanes?
Hurricanes cover larger areas than tornadoes. Hurricanes are massive storms that can span hundreds of miles, while tornadoes are more localized and typically have a narrower path of destruction.
What are Caribbean cyclonic weather systems called?
cyclonic weather systems in the Caribbean are called hurricanes
Why do hurricanes and tornadoes happen at the same time whenever?
They don't. While it is fairly common for a hurricane to produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are not associated with hurricanes. The thunderstorms that produce tornadoes may produce strong, even hurricane-force winds, but that does not make them hurricanes.
What states get hurricanes and tornado's?
States along the Gulf Coast, such as Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, are more prone to hurricanes. Tornadoes are more common in "Tornado Alley," which includes states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. However, tornadoes can occur in many states across the U.S.
Are hurricanes large tornadoes?
no hurricanes differ from tornadoes
Does a hurricane come before a tornado?
No. While many hurricanes do produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are the result of storm systems other than hurricanes. Addtionally, the tornadoes that do form in hurricanes usually form along the front part of the storm.
Do tornadoes relate to hurricanes?
Not really. Although hurricanes and tornadoes have some notable similarities, they are completely different phenomena. It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not a result of hurricanes.
Do tornadoes turn clockwise while hurricanes turn counterclockwise?
No. In the northern hemisphere tornadoes an hurricanes both turn counterclockwise apart from a very small percentage of tornadoes. They turn clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
