Tornadoes and earthquakes are completely unrelated phenomena. In brief, tornadoes develop when severe thunderstorms gain rotation from wind shear and that rotation tightens, intensifies, and extends to the ground. Earthquakes usually occur when rocks slip along cracks called faults, releasing stress that has built of from the movement of tectonic plates.
