Earthquakes are possible in Chicago, but it is unlikely that any would be strong enough to cause damage. Tornadoes, though are quite possible in Chicago and have hit the city before.
Every state gets tornadoes. Pennsylvania and Ohio have even had F4 and F5 tornadoes. The inland states do not get hurricanes. The Dakotas, Florida, and Michigan have only have a few small earthquakes. Pennsylvania has had a few earthquakes, but none have been very damaging.
No. Moving plates cause most earthquakes but have absolutely nothing to do with tornadoes. Tornadoes are caused by strong thunderstorms.
Earthquakes, by far, occur most frequently. On average, each year, there are about 1,800 tornadoes are recorded. The actual number of tornadoes is probably higher, most likely a few thousand, due to the many tornadoes that escape detection. By contrast, between five hundred thousand and 1 million earthquakes are recorded each year, of which 100,000 are strong enough to be felt.
No. The movement of Earth's plates can cause earthquakes and tsunamis but is completely unrelated tornadoes. Tornadoes are produced by severe thunderstorms.
No. Fracking can cause earthquakes if the fluid gets into faults. Tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms, which are not affected by fracking in any way.
There is no relationship between tornadoes and earthquakes.
No. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms. They have absolutely nothing to do with earthquakes.
Chicago is a relatively small target for a tornado to strike and so unlikely to be hit. So it really is only by chance that tornadoes have missed Chicago. However, tornadoes have occurred in the Chicago area, so it is entirely possible for one to hit the city itself.
Yes. Most areas of the world can get tornadoes and at least small earthquakes.
No, tornadoes and earthquakes are unrelated phenomena.
Both Earthquakes and tornadoes are destructive natural disasters that release large amounts of energy. Aside from that they are completely different.
Earthquakes are worse. Earthquakes strike with no warning and cover a larger area than tornadoes and can have much higher death tolls, especially those that trigger tsunamis.
No
No, you're thinking of earthquakes.
Chicago cannot get hurricanes as it is too far from the ocean. It can get the extratropical remnants of hurricnaes, but by the time the make it that far they won't be much stronger than ordinary storm systems. Tornadoes, however, are quite possible in Chicago. They are fairly common in Illinois and contrary to popular belief tornadoes can and do hit major cities.
Every state gets tornadoes. Pennsylvania and Ohio have even had F4 and F5 tornadoes. The inland states do not get hurricanes. The Dakotas, Florida, and Michigan have only have a few small earthquakes. Pennsylvania has had a few earthquakes, but none have been very damaging.
Florida is very prone to both tornadoes and hurricanes. Earthquakes in Florida are very rare, and rarely cause even minor damage.
