A Hurricane is more powerful because they do indeed release much more energy than a torn. That mostly because a hurricane is much larger than a tornado.

However, a tornado can be more violent than even the worst hurricane and cause more severe damage in a localized area.

Hurricane winds can reach a maximum of about 190 mph and tornadoes over 300mph

A hurricane becomes more powerful by evaporating water from?

A hurricane becomes more powerful by evaporating water from the ocean's surface. This process releases latent heat as the water vapor condenses back into liquid, which fuels the storm's energy and intensifies its winds. The warmer the ocean water, the more evaporation occurs, further strengthening the hurricane. This cycle of evaporation and condensation is crucial for the hurricane's growth and sustainability.
