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.


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.


Does North Dakota have hurricanes tornadoes or earthquakes?

North Dakota gets tornadoes frequently with some maps putting it in Tornado Alley. North Dakota cannot get hurricanes as it is too far inland and hurricanes only form over tropical oceans. There are earthquakes in North Dakota but they are fairly weak, the strongest on record being a 5.5 which will not do major damage..

What do tornadoes and a hurricanes not have in common?

Characteristics that hurricanes and tornadoes do not have in common.Organizational level: a hurricane is its own storm system while a tornado is dependent on a parent thunderstorm, which is itself part of a larger system.Size: A hurricane is hundreds of miles across while a tornado is usually only a few hundred feet across, with only the largest exceeding 1 mile.Duration: A hurricane lasts days or even weeks while a tornado usually lasts a few minutes and sometimes a fraction of a minute. Rarely will a tornado last more than an hour.Location: Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water and are mostly limited to the tropics while tornadoes are mostly land-based and are more common in temperate latitudes.Dangers: Hurricanes pose a threat from a combination of wind, debris, flooding, and rain-induced landslides while tornadoes generally only pose a threat with wind and debris.

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.

Is it possble for hurricanes and tornadoes to get to Chicago?

Chicago cannot get hurricanes as it is too far from the ocean. It can get the extratropical remnants of hurricnaes, but by the time the make it that far they won't be much stronger than ordinary storm systems. Tornadoes, however, are quite possible in Chicago. They are fairly common in Illinois and contrary to popular belief tornadoes can and do hit major cities.
