Not really. While it is not uncommon for a hurricane to produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are the product of mid-latitude storm systems that have nothing to do with hurricanes.

Can their be tornadoes hurricanes and earthquakes at the same time?

Yes, but the chances of such an occurrence are extremely low. Hurricanes often produce tornadoes, but more often in their outer regions beyond the area of hurricane conditions (sustained winds of at least 74 mph). Hurricanes and tornadoes are not related to earthquakes in any way known to science. Many area that are prone to large earthquakes to not typically see hurricanes or tornadoes very often.


What causes the most deaths each year hurricanes tornadoes or lighting strikes?

i assume hurricanes cause more deaths since I know for a fact that more people die of lightening strikes than shark attacks and there aren't very many of them. Sorry if this doesn't help. try searching 'natural disasters'. NRBB


How many tornadoes can a hurricane create?

Hurricanes can spawn tornadoes within their outer rain bands, known as tropical cyclone tornadoes. On average, about 100-200 tornadoes are reported each year in the United States due to hurricanes and tropical storms. These tornadoes tend to be weaker and short-lived compared to traditional tornadoes.


Can a hurricane fight a tornado?

No. Hurricanes and tornadoes are not alive and thus cannot fight. They operate on completely different scales and thus do not come into conflict. It is farily common for tornadoes to develop in the storm bands of a hurricane.


What continents have had most hurricanes?

Asia is the continent struck most frequently by tropical cyclones, the generic term for storms such as hurricanes. Such storms are only called hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific oceans.

Are there more tornadoes or hurricanes in Alabama?

There are more tornadoes in Alabama compared to hurricanes. Alabama is part of a region known as Tornado Alley, which experiences multiple tornadoes each year. Hurricanes are less common in Alabama, but the state can still be impacted by hurricanes that make landfall along the Gulf Coast.

Do hurricanes or tornadoes cause more damage in the US each year?

hurricanes cause more damage they can also cause earthquakes and tsunamis


How are tornadoes related to thunderstorms and hurricanes?

They are all type of storm and can all produce strong winds. Hurricanes and tornadoes have more in common with each other, though, than they do with ordinary thunderstorms. For example, both have eyes, or eyelike structure (in a tornado it is called a weak echo region.) They also both rotate, which is something most thunderstorms don't do. All tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms, some of these storms are produced by hurricanes.

Can hurricanes collide with each other?

No, hurricanes cannot collide with each other. When two hurricanes come close to each other, they typically rotate around a common center or merge into a single, larger storm.


Can two hurricanes collide with each other?

No, hurricanes cannot collide with each other. If two hurricanes come close to each other, they will typically rotate around a common center or merge into a larger storm.


Have two hurricanes ever collided with each other?

No, hurricanes do not collide with each other. If two hurricanes come close enough, they can interact in a process called the Fujiwhara effect, where they rotate around each other.


Can a tornado collide with a hurricane?

No. Tornadoes and hurricanes operate on completely different scales. A hurricane is a large-scale storm system while a tornado is a small-scale vortex. However, tornadoes often du form in the outer bands of hurricanes.


Have hurricanes ever collided with each other?

No, hurricanes do not collide with each other. Instead, they can interact in ways that influence each other's paths and intensities, but they do not physically collide.


Is there another type of storm other than a thunder storm?

Yes. There are blizzards, snow storms, dust storms, ice storms, tornadoes (though they come from thunderstorms), and cyclones (including hurricanes).
