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.
In terms of energy output an earthquake is stronger.
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
In terms of the energy output, yes.
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.
A strong tornado is one that is EF2 or stronger. A violent tornado is one that is EF4 or EF5.
earthquake
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.
Earthquake
In terms of the maximum amount of energy released, an earthquake is stronger.
The Chile earthquake at 8.8 was about 100 times stronger than the Haiti earthquake at 6.8. The Richter scale is logarithmic. The difference between the earthquakes is 2.0, which is the logarithm of 100.
A hurricane releases more energy overall because it is bigger, but a tornado can produce stronger winds.
Neither. A tornado and a twister are the same thing.
