Hurricanes are low pressure systems out over the open warm ocean waters and they get their energy from those warm waters. The low pressure system gathers clouds and storms and once these storms get organized enough they can eventually turn into hurricanes. They are hundreds of miles wide and can reach wind speeds of up to 155mph. Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of wind they form from a storm known as a supercell which is the most violent form of thunderstorm the atmosphere makes. They form when you have the right atmospheric conditions such as cold air colliding with warm moist unstable air. When those 2 air masses collide they form storms and these storms can then turn into supercells and the supercells can then produce a tornado if the supercell has a strong updraft and downdraft as well as strong enough rotation within the storm it can and does produce a tornado.

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.


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.


Do tornadoes and hurricanes occur together?

Tornadoes can occur in hurricanes, but they are not required for a hurricane to form. Tornadoes in hurricanes tend to be weaker and more short-lived compared to those in severe thunderstorms. The conditions within a hurricane can sometimes spawn tornadoes, particularly in the outer rain bands.


Do tornadoes have names like hurricanes?

No, tornadoes do not have names like hurricanes. Tornadoes are typically identified by the location and intensity of the storm, while hurricanes are given names from a predetermined list for tracking and communication purposes.


Can a tornado destroy a hurricane?

Hurricanes don't turn into tornadoes because these two weather phenomena are formed by entirely different processes. However, tornadoes are frequently spawned by hurricanes and will go through their short life cycle as the hurricane makes landfall.

Are hurricanes worse than tornadoes or are tornadoes worse than hurricanes?

This cannot be answered simply, as both hurricanes and tornadoes vary greatly in how bad they are. The impacts of both tornadoes and hurricanes can range from negligible to devastating. That said, the very worst hurricanes can be far deadlier and more destructive than the worst tornadoes.
