The winds in a tornado funnel are perhaps faster (and therefore more destructive) than a hurricane, but the diameter of a tornado is very very small compared with a hurricane.


Do Hurricanes always move faster than tornadoes?

In terms of forward speed a tornado usually moves faster. The average tornado moves at 35 mph, sometimes faster than 60 mph. Hurricanes usually move at 10-20mph, rarely as high as 40 mph. In terms of wind speed a tornado can be much stronger The fastest wind recorded in a hurricane were 190 mph. The fastest winds recorded in a tornado were 302 mph.


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.


What is faster a hurricane or tornado?

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.


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.

Why do tornadoes have a big hole in the middle?

The hole in the center of a tornado is formed in a similar way to the eye of a hurricane. Low pressure inside the tornado pulls air in. As the air moves in it starts spinning faster. At a certain point the tornado is spinning so far that air cannot make it all the way to the center. Instead, air moves down the center. This process is called vortex breakdown and usually only occurs in intense tornadoes.
