It's a bit hard to say. as the two are so different. In terms of both destructive potential and energy it varies. However, most powerful earthquakes release far more energy and are more destructive than the most powerful tornadoes.

Is a tornado or an earthquake stronger?

Tornadoes have more localized destructive power, with winds reaching over 300 mph in extreme cases. Earthquakes, on the other hand, can affect larger areas and have a wider-reaching impact, especially in terms of structural damage and aftershocks. Ultimately, the strength of a tornado or earthquake can vary greatly depending on specific conditions and magnitudes.

Does higher temperature cause higher wind speeds in a tornado?

Not necessarily. Higher temperatures do increase the chance of a stronger tornado forming, but not necessarily. Scientists still don't really understand why one storm produces a tornado while another doesn't or why one tornado is stronger than another.
