The statements "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" and "Hurricanes have strong winds" are both true.

Tornadoes most certainly can kill people.

Which of the following statements 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 statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.


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.


Can hurricanes collide with each other?

No, hurricanes cannot collide with each other. When two hurricanes come close to each other, they typically rotate around a common center or merge into a single, larger storm.


Can two hurricanes collide with each other?

No, hurricanes cannot collide with each other. If two hurricanes come close to each other, they will typically rotate around a common center or merge into a larger storm.


Which storms cover large areas hurricanes or tornadoes?

Hurricanes cover larger areas than tornadoes. Hurricanes are large, rotating storms that can span hundreds of miles, affecting wide regions with strong winds and heavy rain. Tornadoes, on the other hand, are usually much smaller in size with a narrow path of destruction, affecting a more localized area.

What storms cover large areas tornadoes or hurricanes?

Hurricanes cover large areas. Tornadoes are much smaller.


Are hurricanes longer than tornadoes?

Tornadoes are both much larger than tornadoes and last much longer.


Why are hurricanes deadlier than tornadoes?

Hurricanes tend to be deadlier than tornadoes for two main reasons. First, hurricanes are huge compared with tornadoes. This means they affect larger areas and so have more opportunity to kill. Also, while tornadoes are chiefly wind events hurricanes produce both intense wind and major flooding. 90% of all hurricane deaths are drownings.


Are hurricanes less predictible than tornadoes yes or no?

No, hurricanes are generally easier to predict. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes and occur over the course of days, as opposed to tornadoes which typically last a few minutes. As a result it is easier to study and monitor hurricanes and therefor predict them.

Is a Tropical storm smaller or larger then tornadoes and hurricanes?

Tropical storms are larger in size than tornadoes but smaller than hurricanes. Tropical storms can span hundreds of miles in diameter, while tornadoes are typically less than a mile wide. Hurricanes are much larger than both tropical storms and tornadoes, with wind speeds exceeding those of a tropical storm and the potential to cause widespread damage over a broader area.


Do Hurricanes last longer than Tornadoes?

Hurricanes last for days or even weeks. The longest lived hurricane on record lasted 31 days. Tornadoes usually only last a few minutes and are rarely on the ground for over an hour. Some just last a few seconds. The longest lived tornado on record lasted 3.5 hours.


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.


Is tornadoes or hurricanes deadlier?

One is not necessarily deadlier, as in both hurricanes an tornadoes, some kill more than others, and many do not kill at all. However, in terms of the highest death toll, hurricanes kill more people. This is largely due to the fact that they cover a larger area, giving them more opportunity to kill.
