Tornadoes are both much larger than tornadoes and last much longer.
No, hurricanes are generally easier to predict. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes and occur over the course of days, as opposed to tornadoes which typically last a few minutes. As a result it is easier to study and monitor hurricanes and therefor predict them.
Hurricanes last for days or even weeks. The longest lived hurricane on record lasted 31 days. Tornadoes usually only last a few minutes and are rarely on the ground for over an hour. Some just last a few seconds. The longest lived tornado on record lasted 3.5 hours.
Yes. It is farily common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes. However, a hurricane will rarely produce tornadoes stronger than EF2.
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.
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.

They are in no way 'less violent'. They may seem it because tornadoes traval faster than a hurricane but, hurricanes last much longer and take more lives than a tornado does.
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.
Hurricanes last much longer. A typical hurricane lasts several days. Tornadoes usually last a few minutes.
Hurricanes last for days or even weeks. The longest lived hurricane on record lasted 31 days. Tornadoes usually only last a few minutes and are rarely on the ground for over an hour. Some just last a few seconds. The longest lived tornado on record lasted 3.5 hours.
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.
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.
Yes. It is farily common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes. However, a hurricane will rarely produce tornadoes stronger than EF2.

Yes hurricanes take a long time to form and may exist for weeks. Tornadoes on the other hand form quickly and exist for only minuets. You therefor get a longer warning about a hurricane than you do about a tornado.

no hurricanes differ from tornadoes
