Which has higher wind speed hurricanes or tornadoes?
There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.
Which one is fast hurricanes or tornadoes?
Both hurricanes and tornadoes produces very fast winds. As to which one has faster winds, it varies. Some tornadoes have faster winds than others and a tornado will vary in intensity during its existence. The same is true of hurricanes. In most cases the wind speeds in a tornado and in a hurricane will fall into the same range. In the most extremely cases, though, the strongest tornadoes produce faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.
Why are hurricanes less violent then tornadoes?
They are in no way 'less violent'. They may seem it because tornadoes traval faster than a hurricane but, hurricanes last much longer and take more lives than a tornado does.
Are hurricanes worse than tornadoes or are tornadoes worse than hurricanes?
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.
What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?
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.
Is an earthquakes faster than tornadoes?
The seismic waves of an earthquake travel faster than the winds of a tornado. But this is not what makes earthquakes destructive.
Which of the following statements about hurricanes and tornadoes is true hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot hurricanes have strong winds?
The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.
Are hurricanes longer than tornadoes?
Tornadoes are both much larger than tornadoes and last much longer.
Can tornadoes be formed by hurricanes?
Yes. It is farily common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes. However, a hurricane will rarely produce tornadoes stronger than EF2.
How can a hurricane be stronger than a tornado?
For one thing, the wind speed ranges of tornadoes and hurricanes overlap. Some hurricanes produce winds in excess of 150 mph, while not all tornadoes do. However, the maximum winds speeds of tornadoes are greater than those of hurricanes. Even though a tornado can produce faster winds than any hurricane, a hurricane is many times larger than a tornado, and so releases far more energy.
Does lightning kill more people than Hurricanes or tornadoes?
No, lightning typically kills fewer people than hurricanes or tornadoes. On average, lightning causes around 30-60 deaths per year in the United States, while hurricanes and tornadoes can cause hundreds of deaths in a single event.
What storms cover large areas tornadoes or hurricanes?
Hurricanes cover large areas. Tornadoes are much smaller.
