Tornadoes are cyclonic while hurricanes are?

Both tornadoes and hurricanes are cyclonic in nature, but they differ in size and scale. Tornadoes are small, localized, and form in severe thunderstorms, while hurricanes are larger, organized storm systems that develop over warm ocean waters. Additionally, tornadoes typically last for a short period of time, whereas hurricanes can persist for days or even weeks.


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?

Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.


Cyclonic low pressure storms of high winds that develop over water are called?

hurricanes


Are tornadoes and hurricanes formed the same way?

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.


What type of surface area do tornadoes and hurricanes form?

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.

Does Minnesota get hurricanes or tornadoes?

Minnesota gets tornadoes but not hurricanes. Hurricanes form over wam ocean water and do not last very long over land. Minnesota is much too far from the ocean.
