What is more dangerous a tornado or an earthquake?

Answer 1

Earthquakes and tsunamis tend to kill about the same number of people, which is generally far higher than the death toll of any tornado. The issue is somewhat complicated by the fact that most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes, and the death tolls of an earthquake and subsequent tsunami are often expressed as one figure.

Answer 2

Tsunami, because there the wind, water and the storm to do the destruction and the Earthquake only has a HUGE vibration that could knock building down and bridges.

THIS IS MY OPINION (:

Answer 3

Well actually, usually a tsunami is very unlikely to happen without an earthquake, because normally that amount of water would not be able to flood the shore without some kind of freak accident. I would say a tsunami though because not only can they still take down buildings, they can also cause water damage and a lot of other stuff.

Answer 4

Most likely an earthquake. Earthquakes have been known to be far deadlier than tornadoes. With a tornado you often have a warning several minutes ahead of time. With an earthquake there is no warning.

Answer 5

Due to the fact that tornadoes and tsunami's are measured on two completely different factors there is no way to tell.

Answer 6

In the worst cases, a tsunami causes more damage. A tornado is a rather localized event while a tsunami can strike coast throughout entire ocean basin.

Answer 7

Earthquakes do. So far in the twenty-first century, tornadoes have killed hundreds of people. Earthquakes have killed hundreds of thousands.

Answer 8

Each must be assessed individually. Some tornadoes are worse than others and the same is true of tsunamis. Generally, though, tsunamis are worse.
