A hurricane can cause more damage than a tornado over because it is much bigger and so affects a larger area.
However, the damage of a tornado is more concentrated and more severe on a localized scale.

What are the destructive forms of cyclone?
The most destructive cyclones are tropical cyclones, which in various parts of the world are called hurricanes and typhoons. Extratropical cyclones can also be destructive by producing strong winds and flooding. Both can produce severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Note that while tornadoes are destructive they technically are not cyclones even though they are often referred to as such.
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?
The statements "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" and "Hurricanes have strong winds" are both true. Tornadoes most certainly can kill people.
Is a hurricane worse or a earthquake?
Yes, overall hurricanes are worse than tornadoes. Tornadoes can be faster(the average tornado may have winds of about 70 mph, but they can get as high as 300 mph, and hurricanes can be 74 to about 200 mph) and maybe more destructive locally, but tornadoes are on average about 150 feet, and rarely over a mile and they usually travel no more than a few miles. Hurricanes are on average 300 miles wide. Tornadoes usually last for 10-13 minutes on average, hurricanes can last for days blowing nonstop. Additionally, hurricanes don't bring just strong winds, but torrential rain and flooding.
Do tornadoes and hurricanes occur together?
Sometimes a hurricane can produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not produced by hurricanes.
Are there any hurricanes or tornadoes in Afghanistan?

Why hurricanes are usually more destructive than tornadoes?

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.

How do hurricanes and tornadoes have an extreme impact communities?
Both hurricanes and tornadoescan be very destructive. Hurricanes can inundate large areas and the worst tornadoes can tear swaths of complete destruction through communites. People may be killed and many more may be injured.
What destructive weather results from Texas's location on the Gulf of Mexico?
Texas has two main destructive weathers: tornadoes and hurricanes. Hurricanes evolve from the Gulf of Mexico, so this is your answer. Tornadoes occur more in Northern Texas, away from the Gulf, as this is part of Tornado Alley (an area of high tornado activity).
What do hurrricanes and tornadoes have in common?
Both tornadoes and hurricanes rotate chronically, have powerful, destructive winds, and have low barometric pressure.
What are three examples of destructive force?
earthquake, tornadoes, hurricanes
What is and example of destructive force?
hurricanes are caused by Chuck Norris swimming in a circle
Are tornadoes the most destructive?
No. While tornadoes can cause total destruction in some areas, they are very localized events. Other natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes, can be far more destructive because they cause destruction across a larger area.
