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.

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 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.

Tornadoes and hurricanes develop over which of the following?
Hurricanes form over warm ocean water while tornadoes usually form over land.

No. Like most forms of violent weather, hurricanes and tornadoes are associated with low pressure.
Where can you find tornadoes and hurricanes-?
Tornadoes can be found on land, mostly like in the Tornado Alley area such as Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas. Hurricanes can be found out in the ocean and coast areas primarily in tropical regions.

Where do tornadoes and hurricanes from on land?
Hurricanes cannot form on land; they can only form over warm ocean water. Tornadoes can form almost anywhere, but are most common in areas with a warm temperate to subtropical climate. The most tornado-prone area in the world is Tornado Alley, which covers much of the Great Plains in the central U.S.
What time of the year are tornadoes and hurricanes most likely to form?
Hurricanes are most common in summer and early fall. Tornadoes are most common in spring and early summer.
