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.

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.


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.


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.

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.

Are hurricanes longer than tornadoes?

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


Can tornadoes be formed by hurricanes?

Yes. It is farily common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes. However, a hurricane will rarely produce tornadoes stronger than EF2.


Which has higher wind speed hurricanes or tornadoes?

There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.


Does lightning kill more people than Hurricanes or tornadoes?

No, lightning typically kills fewer people than hurricanes or tornadoes. On average, lightning causes around 30-60 deaths per year in the United States, while hurricanes and tornadoes can cause hundreds of deaths in a single event.

Do tornadoes relate to hurricanes?

Not really. Although hurricanes and tornadoes have some notable similarities, they are completely different phenomena. It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not a result of hurricanes.
