Tsunamis are overall more dangerous. They can obliterate entire parts of towns, something only seen in the most powerful of tornadoes and can kill thousands while tornadoes rarely kill more than a few dozen.

Tornadoes, however, are more difficult to predict usually having a few minutes of advance warning while in many cases a tsunami warning can be issued hours ahead of time.

No. A tsunami and a tornado are two completely different things. A tsunami is a large wave or series of waves usually triggered by an underwater earthquake or landslide. A tornado is a violent vortex of air that forms during a thunderstorm. A tornado that forms on water is called a waterspout.

What is more dangerous a tsunami or earthquake?

Earthquake itself is not dangerous if you know how to response. as long as you are on the right place, for example on an open place or inside seismic resistant buildings, etc you will be fine. Many people killed during earthquake because of panic and do wrong thing. tsunami triggered by underwater earthquake and off course more more more dangerous than earthquake. for example if there is no tsunami in sendai, miyagi, iwate area (march 11, 2011) the people killed will be not so significant. tsunami is the most dangerous natural disaster in the world.
