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.

Is a supercell stronger than a hurricane?
No. While the winds in a tornado spawned by a supercell may be faster than those in any hurricane, a supercell is small compared to a hurricane and so, as a whole, is less powerful in terms of energy released.
What causes more damage a tornado a hurricane or an earthquake?
A hurricane
Is a hurricane a water tornado?
No, a hurricane is not a tornado over water. A tornado and a hurricane are quite different. A hurricane is a large-scale self-sustaining storm pressure system, typically hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm rarely over a mile wide. A tornado on water is called a waterspout.

What moves faster hurricane or a 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.
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 faster a hurricane or tornado?
In many cases the wind speeds of hurricanes and tornadoes fall into the same range, but tornadoes tend to have faster winds.
How can hurricane chris become the deadliest tornado?
It can't. A hurricane can't become a tornado.
Which covers more hurricane or a tornado?

The pressure ina hurricane and in a tornado?

Is hurricane and tornado in a bottle the same thing?
If you mean a hurricane in a bottle then yes, a hurricane in a bottle and a tornado in a bottle are the same thing. In shape, however, the vortex bears more resemblance to a tornado than a hurricane.
Can a hurricane be shaped as a tornado?
No, a hurricane is a huge storm hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is tiny by comparison.
