A tornado is an atmospheric event that gets its power from instability in the air
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. A tornado causes damage with powerful winds and debris carried by these winds. Most tornado deaths come from flying debris, collapsed buildings, and overturned trailers.
A volcano is a geologic feature formed by forces originating underground.
A volcano is crack, hole, or weakness in the earth crust though which magma (an underground mixture of molten rock and various gasses) can force its way up to the surface in what is called a volcanic eruption. Volcanic eruptions range from fountains and rivers of lava (molten rock on the surface) to massive explosions of hot ash, rock and gas with pyroclastic flows ("avalanches" of similar composition). A volcanic eruption can cause damage by burning buildings and trees with molten rock or hot gasses, flattening the with a massive airblast, and collapsing buildings under the weight of ash.
Many deaths in volcanic eruptions occur when people are burned by lava or hot gas, are suffocated by breathing ash and toxic gasses, or are buried by pyroclastic flows and mudflows.

∙ 13y agoNothing, really. The tornado passes over it as it does any other type of landform, in the process tearing up any trees and vegetation that might cover the volcano. Even if it is an active volcano with an open crater of magma, nothing "interesting" will happen.

∙ 12y agoYes. Oddly enough waterspouts, which are essentially tornadoes on water, have been spotted extending from the eruption columns of some island volcanoes such as in Iceland. Waterspouts, however, are generally weaker than normal tornadoes. It is also possible that tornadic thunderstorms could form in the vicinity of an erupting volcano purely by coincidence.

∙ 13y agoNo, tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms.
Tornadoes and earthquakes are completely unrelated.

∙ 12y agoNo, even the strongest tornado couldn't do much more than scratch the surface of a volcano.

What are three things that are in common with volcanoes and tornadoes?
Tornadoes and volcanoes have little in common, but a few common traits between them includeBoth are potentially deadly and destructive and are generally dangerous to go near, though dormant and extinct volcanoes pose much less of a threat.When active both volcanoes and tornadoes can release very large amounts of energy.Both volcanoes and tornadoes are difficult to predict and cannot be stopped.
How do volcanoes differ?
The most obvious difference between the three types of volcanoes are their size. Shield volcanoes are the largest, followed by composite volcanoes, leaving cinder cone volcanoes as the smallest.
What is the difference between Compare volcanoes that form on land with volcanoes that form in the ocean.?
Land Volcanoes eat lamas and underwater volcanoes eat camals
How are volcanoes and tornadoes different?
thay are different because lava comes out a volcano and tornadoes have winds and rain and it twists
What is the relationship between earthquakes and tornadoes?
There is no relationship between tornadoes and earthquakes.

Do volcanoes get names like tornadoes?
Since most volcanoes are mountains, they usually do have names. Tornadoes do not have names.
Difference between explosive and quiet volcanoes?

Why does a tornado hit before a volcano?
Tornadoes not not strike before volcano. Tornadoes and volcanoes are unrelated.

What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary
Which event cannot be explained by the movement of the lithosphere plates tornadoes earthquakes volcanoes mountain formation?
Tornadoes.
What is the difference between thermal vents and ocean volcanoes?
the thermvents are inside a volcano
What is the difference between a mountain and a volcanic cone?
mountains do not produce lave volcanoes do

What is the difference between Australian and American tornadoes?
Most tornadoes in the United States rotate counterclockwise, most in Australia rotate clockwise. Additionally, The united States has more strong tornadoes.
