Tornadoes and hurricanes are two different kinds of storm. A tornado is a small-scale violent vortex of wind that can develop during a severe thunderstorm. A hurricane is an intense, large-scale low-pressure system that forms over tropical ocean water.
Tornadoes can be called twisters, but tornado is the preferred term. Hurricanes are also called tropical cyclones, though that is a somewhat broader term.
Tornadoes are called "twisters." Hurricanes are sometimes called "tropical storms" before they reach violent wind speeds, and are referred to as "typhoons" in the Pacific. Both tornadoes and hurricanes can be called "cyclones" because they both have violently rotating wind.
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.
It is not uncommon for a hurricane to produce tornadoes at landfall. But most tornadoes are not associated with hurricanes and not all hurricanes produce tornadoes.
No. Tornadoes and hurricanes are atmospheric phenomena, and there is no atmosphere in space.
Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.
It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall.
This cannot be answered simply, as both hurricanes and tornadoes vary greatly in how bad they are. The impacts of both tornadoes and hurricanes can range from negligible to devastating. That said, the very worst hurricanes can be far deadlier and more destructive than the worst tornadoes.
Yes. Hurricanes are common in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Tornadoes are less common, but can be produced by hurricanes.
