A hurricane is an atmospheric event, getting its strength from moist air. Hurricanes are massive, powerful, rotating storms form over warm ocean water. They bring rain, flooding, large waves, and damaging winds.
An earthquake is a geologic event that originates underground. It is essentially the ground shaking. This shaking is sometimes strong enough to damage and even completely destroy buildings and bridges. Earthquakes usually result when tension, built up by the shifting of sections earth's crust, is released.
The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs.
The main difference is that a hurricane that hits Florida spins counterclockwise while a hurricane that hits Australia (called a cyclone in that part of the world) spins clockwise.
The difference is in wind speed. A category 2 hurricane has sustained winds in the range of 96-110 mph. A category 4 hurricane has winds in the range of 130-156 mph.
A hurricane is a storm. A earthquake is movement of the earth.
Id have to say the Great San Fransico earthqauke it burned and shook
In terms of energy output an earthquake is stronger.

the difference is that the australian scale has no category

A hurricane is a "named storm". If you do not have a named storm exclusion then your wind coverage will cover hurricane damage.

a hurricane is like a tornado but on water while a thunderstorm is electricity built up in the clouds waiting to strike
a tornado, typhoon, cyclone, twister, and hurricane are pretty much the same.
A tropical storm and a hurricane are distinguished by absolute barametric pressure at the eye and the eye wall wind speed. A tropical storm is a weak form of a hurricane.
Cyclone is simply the term used in other countries for hurricanes.
