Lightning frequently accompanies tornadoes anyway. On the unlikely even that a tornado occurred during an earthquake, there would probably be more damage than either of the two could do on their own.
In Spanish, the word for tornado is "tornado". Same as in English, but pronounced a little differently (torr-nawh-do instead of the English way torr-nay-do). As for earthquake, the spanish word for it is "terremoto".
Earthquakes relieve the tension building between tectonic plates. so, loads of small earthquakes lessen the chance that a massive earthquake will happen along the same plate boundary.
Yes, and if the same storm it may be minutes apart.
This is known as an aftershock.
This works on the same phenomenon as the shock absorbers that the cars have. Also, it would be same as a spring.
Tornadoes and lightning can occur simultaneously during severe thunderstorms. If a tornado and lightning occur at the same time, the combination can increase the potential dangers and risks associated with the storm. Lightning can strike the tornado itself or nearby, causing additional hazards like fires, property damage, and injuries.

It is very unlikely for an earthquake and tornado to occur at the same time in the same place. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate movement, while tornadoes are atmospheric phenomenon. They are typically associated with different weather conditions and geological processes that do not overlap in the same location simultaneously.
No. While tornadoes and lightning often occur at the same time a tornado cannot be made of lighting, nor are the two directly related. A tornado is a vortex of air; lighting is an electrical discharge.
Potentially. It is actually fairly common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes. While tornadoes and hurricanes are weather events, earthquakes are geologic and are completely unrelated to weather. Nothing would actually prevent a hurricane or tornado from striking at the same time as an earthquake, but such an event would be entirely by coincidence and therefore extremely unlikely.

There will be infinite amounts of earthquakes, but they rarely strike the same place twice, like lightning.
Same thing that would happen to you...
Yes, this occurs sometimes during tornado outbreaks.
When the Captial of the United States was being burned in the war of 1812, the fire was stopped because a hurricane, a tornado, and an earthquake happened all in the same place. It doused the fire and killed most of the invading British troops.
Actually, thunder and lightning DO happen at the same time, but unless you are within the immediate proximity of the lightning strike, the observer usually sees the flash before hearing the thunder because light travels much faster (~11,000,000 mph) than sound (~750 mph).
A small earthquake that happens after a larger one is called an aftershock. Aftershocks happen because the crust in the area where the main earthquake happened is adjusting to the earthquake's effects.
