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.

Which is stronger a Tornado or an Earthquake?
In terms of energy output an earthquake is stronger.
Is a tornado or an earthquake stronger?
It depends on the size of the tornado and the how strong the earthquake is. Most earthquakes are small on average, so most of the time a tornado is stronger.
Why is a tornado stronger than an earthquake?
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
Is an earthquake stronger than a tornado?
In terms of the energy output, yes.
What is the difference between a strong and a violent tornado?
A strong tornado is one that is EF2 or stronger. A violent tornado is one that is EF4 or EF5.
What is the strongest hurricane or earthquake or tornado?
earthquake
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.
Which one of these are the most powerful a plague or volcano or hurricane or earthquake or tornado or sandstorm?
In terms of energy output an earthquake is the most powerful.
What is stronger a small skinny tornado or a large tornado?
Generally large tornadoes are stronger but that is not always the case.
Is a tsunami stronger than earthquake?
Earthquake
Is a hurricane stronger than an earthquake?
In terms of the maximum amount of energy released, an earthquake is stronger.
Can a tornado happen after an earthquake?
Yes. But the two phenomena are not related even remotely. So if a tornado were to follow an earthquake it would be entirely by coincidence.
