Three major differences between tornadoes and hurricanes are
- Hurricanes are much bigger than tornadoes, typically hundred of miles across while tornadoes are usually under a quarter mile wide.
- A hurricane is an independent, self sustaining storm system while a tornado depends on a parent thunderstorm.
- Hurricanes only form over warm ocean water while tornadoes usually form over land and can form in virtually any climate short of polar.

Why are tornadoes black?
Not all tornadoes are black. There are two ways a tornado may appear black. First, the tornado may be back lit, causing it to appear dark. Some tornadoes lift large amounts of soil into the air. In such a situation, if the soil in an area is black, the tornado will likely be black as well.
What are the three basic light colors?
The three basic light colors are red, green, and blue. These colors can be combined in various ways to create different hues and shades in the visible light spectrum.
How are tornadoes identified?
There are three ways. Doppler radar can detect the signature of a possible tornado. If the such a signature is detected, or the radar indicates that a tornado may form, storm spotters may be called to the area. These spotters then report features such as wall clouds, funnel clouds, and tornadoes. Tornadoes may also be identified after they move though. Experts analyze wind damage in order to determine if it was caused by a tornado or straight-line winds. One piced of information that may be examined is whether downed trees have fallen in a random distribution (suggesting a tornado) or appear to have fallen in the same direction (suggesting straight line winds).

Why does an updraft in a tornado rotate?
There are a couple ways in which a tornado can form, both involving the updraft of a thunderstorm. In the classic model of tornado formation, the updraft of the thunderstorm starts rotating due to interaction with wind shear (differences in wind speed and direction with altitude) and may be influenced by the general rotation of the parent storm system. The tornado then develops from this rotating updraft. In the other model, by which landspouts and most waterspouts form, a broad-level circulation at the ground gets caught in the updraft of a developing thunderstorm, becoming narrower and more intense.
How Can there be a tornado and a hurricane at the same time?
It is not possible for a tornado and a hurricane to occur simultaneously in the same location. Tornadoes can occur within hurricanes, but they typically form in different ways and under different conditions. Hurricane-force winds can cause tornadoes to develop in the outer bands of the storm.
What are three ways a hurricane is different from a tornado?
The a many differences but here are the most important:A hurricane is its own, large scale, self sustaining storm system while a tornado is a small scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm.Tornadoes can form over both land and water and are most common in temperate or subtropical climates. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water in the tropics.A tornado is chiefly a wind event while hurricanes create additional hazards of flooding due to the storm surge and torrential rain.
Are hurricanes and tornadoes both spinning storms that start over water?
No. While they are both spinning storms, tornadoes, unlike hurricanes, can and frequently do form over land.
Is an EF5 tornado worse than a category 5 hurricane?
It depends. Hurricane ratings are based on measured wind speed, so a hurricane can become a category 5 but stay at sea, causing no damage. Tornado ratings are based on damage severity, so if a tornado is rated EF5, at least one well-built structure must have been completely obliterated. However, a hurricane that makes landfall at category 5 intensity can be expected to be much worse than most EF5 tornadoes.
