Tropical cyclones (the generic term for a hurricane) develop over tropical ocean waters. These storms are called hurricanes if, they have sustained winds of at least 74 mph and are in the northern hemisphere either in the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean.
Tornadoes, by contrast, can form just about anywhere that there are thunderstorms. This means that nearly all regions except for polar areas and perhaps areas of extreme desert, can get tornadoes. However, tornadoes most often form on land in temperate climate zones. They are most prevalent in the central U.S.
Hurricanes develop over warm ocean water. Tornadoes usually form over land.

Hurricanes develop over warm ocean water while tornadoes usually form over land.
Hurricanes typically develop in the warm regions of the Atlantic Ocean. The warm waters provide the energy needed for the formation and intensification of hurricanes.
Hurricanes develop over warm seas.
I am pretty sure they can.
Yes. Hurricanes develop over warm ocean water.
Since hurricanes develop over the ocean, the hurricanes that impact Texas strike it along the Gulf Coast.
No, tornadoes usually develop over land. Hurricanes develop e over warm water.
Eleven tropical strorms like hurricans develop.
Hurricanes do not form at the equator because the Coriolis effect, which helps to spin and organize storms, is weak near the equator. This lack of spin prevents the necessary conditions for hurricanes to develop.
Both tornadoes and hurricanes are associated with low pressure; nearly all stormy weather is.
