Thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes are all types of storm generally driven by warm moist air. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and some thunderstorms rotate and produce damaging winds. Tornadoes themselves are the product of rotating thunderstorms. Both hurricanes and thunderstorms can produce heavy rain.
What else can I help you with?
Does a thunderstorm cause a tornado?
No. It is the other way around. However, only some tornadoes are formed by hurricanes. Tornados are tiny funnels that spin far faster than hurricanes, but hurricane are hundreds of times larger. TORNADOS ARE NOT CYCLONES. don't get confused between the two.
How do hurricanes form tornadoes?
When a hurricane makes landfall it weakens rapidly, with the winds at lower levels weakening faster than those at upper levels. This difference in wind speed creates wind shear, which can cause the thunderstorms in the rain bands of a hurricane to start rotating. This rotating can then tighten and intensify to form tornadoes.
Most tornadoes spawned from a hurricane?
Most tornadoes are not spawned directly from hurricanes themselves, but rather from the thunderstorms that form within the hurricane's outer bands. These tornadoes can occur in the vicinity of a hurricane, especially in the right-front quadrant of the storm. The interaction between the hurricane's large-scale circulation and local weather conditions can sometimes lead to tornado development.
What are 2 major differences between hurricanes and tornadoes?
A hurricane is its own large-scale storm system typically hundreds of miles wide while a tornado is a small-scale vortex rarely over a mile wide.Hurricanes form over tropical ocean water while tornadoes usually form over land.
What kind of front is associated with the formation of tornadoes?
Tornadoes are commonly associated with cold fronts, where a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass. The contrast in temperature and humidity between the two air masses creates instability in the atmosphere, which can lead to the development of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
What is the reationship between hurricanes and tornadoes?
It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall.
What is the difference between how hurricanes and tornadoes form?
Hurricanes are large-scale weather systems that form as clusters of thunderstorms intensify and organize over warm ocean water. Tornadoes are small-scale weather phenomena that form from complicated interactions of air currents within a thunderstorm.
What is the relationship between a thunderstorm and a tornado?
Thunderstorms can sometimes produce tornadoes as a result of strong updrafts and wind shear within the storm. Tornadoes are often spawned from supercell thunderstorms, which are large, rotating thunderstorms capable of producing severe weather. However, not all thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
Does a thunderstorm cause a tornado?

What are some similarities between tornado's and hurricanes?
All are potentially dangerous types of storm that can produce strong winds and derive their energy from warm, moist air. It should be noted that tornadoes need thunderstorms in order to form.
Why tornadoes and thunderstorms considered examples of conduction?
Tornadoes and thunderstorms are not considered examples of conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between two materials. Tornadoes and thunderstorms are caused by dynamic atmospheric processes involving convection, which is the transfer of heat through the movement of air or water.

How do you compare and contrast thunderstorms and tornadoes?
Thunderstorms and tornadoes: • both are most likely to occur in the spring and summer months • they can both form over water and land • they can both cause major damage • both are natural catastrophic events... Kinda • both involve water and wind Thunderstorms: • caused by a disturbance in the atmosphere • can produce flash floods or even tornadoes • can involve lightning, thunder, gusty winds, heavy rain, and hail • occurs most often on the gulf coast, especially in Florida • occur mostly in spring and summer months • can cover an area as large as 8 to 16 square kilometers Tornadoes: • it is a rotating column of air • hurricanes and thunderstorms often bring on tornadoes • US has more tornadoes than any other country • most tornadoes happen in "Tornado Alley" • most develope from march to July • diameter is usually between 100 and 600 meters, but can be has large as 4 kilometers • waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water • most of its destructive power comes from its strong winds
What is similar between a thunderstorm and a tornado?
Both thunderstorms and tornadoes are severe weather events that are capable of producing strong winds and heavy rain. They are both associated with thunder and lightning, and can cause damage to structures and the environment.
Why do hurricanes happen later than tornadoes?
Tornadoes occur mostly in the months March-June as it is then that the collisions of air masses that can produce violent thunderstorms most often occur as that time of year is something of a transition between overall cold weather and overall warm weather. Though tornadoes can happen at any time of year. Hurricanes happen later in the year (mainly June-November) because they need warm ocean water to form and it usually takes a fairly long time for the ocean to become warm enough to produce hurricanes.
What are the ranges that tornadoes and hurricanes have to from in?
Hurricanes develop over tropical ocean waters usually between 10 and 30 degrees of latitude. They form most often in the western portions of the ocean basins as that is where water tends to be warmest. Tornadoes can develop almost anywhere in the world that gets thunderstorms, and have been recorded in climates ranging from subarctic to tropical. They are most common, however in temperate and subtropical climates over land.
