No. Tornadoes and hurricanes form in completely different ways and operate on different scales. In very simple terms, hurricanes form when clusters of storms over tropical oceans gains strength and form an organized, large scale and violent storm system.
Tornadoes form when rotation within an individual thunderstorm tightens and intensifies into a small-scale but very violent whirlwind.

Does a thunderstorm cause a tornado?
No. It is the other way around. However, only some tornadoes are formed by hurricanes. Tornados are tiny funnels that spin far faster than hurricanes, but hurricane are hundreds of times larger. TORNADOS ARE NOT CYCLONES. don't get confused between the two.
Do all hurricanes spin the same way?
cyclones. We say hurricanes. Thank you for asking such an educated question! Your welcome and bye!">Yes they do all spin the same way ~ counter clockwise. But in Australia, they spin clockwise because of they are in the southern hemisphere, while a hurricane is the same type of storm in the northern hemisphere. They call them cyclones. We say hurricanes. Thank you for asking such an educated question! Your welcome and bye!
Is Orlando in the tornado and hurricane zone?
yes because its right bye the carribean sea and most of the hurricanes form there ==== Hurricanes are not "popular" anywhere. That said, the Gulf Coast of Florida tends to get more hurricane strikes than the Orlando side. However, hurricanes do strike all parts of Florida.
Can a tornado kill?
The greatest portion of tornado deaths results from flying debris. Everyday objects and building materials can be turned into deadly projectiles by a strong tornado. Others may die as buildings collapse on them. In weak tornadoes, which are not often deadly, may cause deaths through toppling trees and other heavy objects or overturning trailers. In some cases people may be picked up and thrown by the winds of a tornado. Occasionally there are unusual cases, as tornadoes have been known to do strange things. One man was found impaled on the lid of a washing machine after a tornado destroyed his home.
Do tornadoes form thunderclouds?
No. It's the other way around. Thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
Are all hurricanes formed the same way?
No ..... hurricanes are not formed in the same way some can be stronger some can be lighter. Most hurricanes form from tropical disturbances that organize and intensify. However, some hurricanes develop when a subtropical or extratropical low takes on tropical characteristics.
Which way do hurricanes and tornadoes rotate in the Northern Hemisphere?
All hurricanes and most tornadoes rotate counterclockwise.
Can their be tornadoes hurricanes and earthquakes at the same time?
Yes, but the chances of such an occurrence are extremely low. Hurricanes often produce tornadoes, but more often in their outer regions beyond the area of hurricane conditions (sustained winds of at least 74 mph). Hurricanes and tornadoes are not related to earthquakes in any way known to science. Many area that are prone to large earthquakes to not typically see hurricanes or tornadoes very often.
How can you prevent typhoon hurricanes or tornadoes?
There is no way of preventing any sort of natural disaster.
Do tornadoes spin the same way as hurricanes?
Yes, at least for the vast majority of tornadoes. Both rotate cyclonically, that is, counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. However, a small number of tornadoes (less than 1%) rotate the opposite direction from normal. These are called anticyclonic tornadoes.
How has technology changed the way hurricanes and tornadoes are studied?
Satellites allow us to track hurricanes at sea and study previously unseen features. Doppler radar allows us to directly track winds and precipitation in hurricanes, tornadoes, and potentially tornadic storms.
Why are tornadoes and hurricanes environmentally important?
Hurricanes are important in that they can bring much needed rain to a region and help redistribute heat in the atmosphere, carrying it out of the tropics. Tornadoes also help redistribute heat, though to a lesser degree. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can knock down old trees, clearing the way for new growth.
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.
What is the difference the way hurricanes are classified and the way tornadoes are classified?
Hurricanes are classified based directly on wind speed from Category 1 to category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Tornadoes are rated based on damage-derived wind estimates, which are used to rate them on the Enhanced Fujita Scale from EF0 to EF5.
Does a thunderstorm cause a tornado?

Where are hurricanes from?
Hurricanes are formed from water but there is something else that forms hurricanes and its once water comes and its makes a world pool and then winds pushes either way and it floods the city or town
Are hurricanes worse than tornadoes?
Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes, and thus cause damage over a larger area, meaning more homes destroyed, and more people in harm's way. Tornado damage can be more severe, but it is localized along a rather narrow path.
