Hurricanes cannot form on land; they can only form over warm ocean water. Tornadoes can form almost anywhere, but are most common in areas with a warm temperate to subtropical climate. The most tornado-prone area in the world is Tornado Alley, which covers much of the Great Plains in the central U.S.
Hurricanes weaken when they move over land.
No. Tornadoes are on land. Hurricanes are storms on water.
No. Hurricanes start over water and tornadoes are on land.
Hurricanes develop over warm ocean water. Tornadoes usually form over land.
Tornadoes, by a considerable amount.
Minnesota gets tornadoes but not hurricanes. Hurricanes form over wam ocean water and do not last very long over land. Minnesota is much too far from the ocean.
Springfield, Illinois does get tornadoes as Illinois is in a tornado-prone region. Springfield cannot get hurricanes, nor can anywhere in Illinois, as hurricanes cannot maintain their strength over land.
no hurricanes differ from tornadoes
Not really. Although hurricanes and tornadoes have some notable similarities, they are completely different phenomena. It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not a result of hurricanes.
hurricanes can have tornadoes.
Generally not, although tornadoes are often produced by landfalling hurricanes, most tornadoes are not associate with hurricanes.
Hurricanes and tornadoes both exhibit rotational movement; hurricanes spin in a cyclonic pattern due to the Earth's rotation and form over warm ocean waters, while tornadoes typically develop from thunderstorms on land. Hurricanes require warm ocean water to strengthen, whereas tornadoes can occur over land or water but generally form in severe weather conditions. Both phenomena are distinct in their formation processes and locations, with hurricanes being larger and more sustained than tornadoes.
