Uneven heating and cooling causes differences in air pressure. To maintain equal pressure, a breeze picks up. These winds can be a strong as a tornado or just a gentle breeze.
Igneous rocks are formed through the process of heating and cooling beneath the earth's surface. This process involves molten rock (magma) cooling and solidifying to create igneous rocks such as granite or basalt.
Hurricanes can form only open warm ocean water with a temperature of least 80 degrees or 26 celsius. Tornadoes can form over land or water. A tornado formed over water is called a waterspout. Tornadoes can almost anywhere in the world with the right weather conditions. Their have been tornadoes on six continents. Hurricanes form in the tropics and then follow paths that take them either over land or they or they stay over the open ocean.
Geothermal energy is used to generate electricity, for heating and cooling buildings, and for various industrial processes such as desalination and agriculture. It is a renewable and sustainable energy source that relies on the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface.
Hurricanes are measured through a combination of satellite imagery, manned flights into the storms, Doppler radar, and ground ad seas surface based observations. Tornadoes are more difficult because they are smaller, shorter lived, and overall less predictable. Measurements have been made using Doppler radar and ground and ground based probes. Even then, most tornadoes do not have any measurements taken, so strength is estimated based on the damage caused.
Hurricanes form when clusters of thunderstorms move over tropical ocean water. These clusters then organize and intensify. Tornadoes most often form when thunderstorms encounter strong wind shear, which is when the speed and/or direction of the wind changes with altitude. The storms themselves usually occur when air masses of very different temperature and/or moisture content collide.
because it is cooling
earth surface
yes they do and so do glaciers, hurricanes, tornadoes and many other things
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.
Hurricanes can cause significant coast erosion. Flooding resulting from heavy rains can alter river channels. Tornadoes can destroy vegetation, but rarely cause significant amounts of soil erosion.

Hurricanes don't have funnels; tornadoes do. However, in both cases air moves up from the surface.

Unequal heating can create temperature differences that contribute to the instability and formation of thunderstorms, which can then develop into tornadoes. The contrast in temperature between warm air at the surface and cold air aloft can create strong updrafts and wind shear that are conducive to tornado formation. Unequal heating can also influence the direction and speed of wind patterns, further enhancing the conditions for tornado development.

Winds are created by the heating and cooling of the earth's surface. The sun's energy provides the heat.
Unequal heating leads to air masses of different temperatures. When a cool air mass collides with a warm, moist air mass thunderstorms often form. Under the right conditions these thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.
